Victoria Beckham - dvb Tortoise Shell Sunglasses - My-wardrobe - Review
Apr 29, 2009 accessories, my wardrobe
Style Icon Victoria Beckham has been channeling her inner Hepburn of late, with a look reminiscent of the late star and 50’s Hollywood; this nod to all things elegant extends to her dvb range that has just dropped ship at My-wardrobe!
Victoria’s dvb Tortoise Shell Square Moulded Frame Sunglasses are simply stunning and leave me hankering for an era I wish I’d been a part of. Oozing glamour, the dvb tortoise shell sunglasses are retro-looking, inspired by the 50’s but modernised due to the extra chunky frames, giving them a contemporary edge.
Square frames made with plastic and brown tinted lenses - the dvb sunglasses are branded with a gold star on the arms. The perfect accessory to any outfit, I cant wait to team mine with the 50’s inspired floral print dresses I’ve bought for the summer season!
Priced at a very reasonable (they are designer after all) £165 - you can’t go wrong with these dvb tortoise shell sunglasses. Available now at My-wardrobe.

Georgina Goodman - Pink Hilda Peeptoe Court Shoes - Mywardrobe
Apr 22, 2009 accessories, my wardrobe
I was just partaking in my weekly perusal of Mywardrobe when I saw these stunning shoes by designer Georgina Goodman! These Pink Hilda Peeptoe Court Shoes scream 80’s brights, with their flourescent pink, glossy glaze and black heel detail…
With the popular hit show ‘Ashes to Ashes’ and retro-esque performers like Lady Gaga - the 80’s brights are back…and in our faces!
I have my reservations about shoulder pads and neon spandex (surely you’d suffer from shiney camel-toe syndrome?) but I am so pleased to see the return of flourescent, embellished in-yer-face high heels - the perfect accessory to toughen up and brighten up even the most drab of outfits!
These Georgina Goodman peeptoes will do just that - and with this designers star fast rising - I believe you’d be buying your very own slice of the best of British (80’s) brights fashion.

Playsuits are everywhere this season and it’s so east to see why!

The Cherry Print Playsuit from New Look is a saucy little number - fun and frivolous, its retro print is cute without being sickly sweet, whilst the batwing sleeves and nipped waist will flatter most.

Apr 14, 2009 accessories, new look
Platform shoes are an enduringly popular trend and back with vengeance this SS09! With the 80’s trend of candy coloured and neon brights taking over the high street (adding some much needed sunshine to an otherwise depressing climate) 80’s style neon shoes are ten-a-penny.

M&S - Limited Collection - Snake Print Dress - Tribal Trend
Apr 14, 2009 fashion, marks and spencer
M&S continue to be on-the-up, creating another season of beautifully designed clothes and accessories that surpass the last seasons wonderful range; I love, in particular, the M&S Limited Collection which is full of forward thinking designs heavily influenced by catwalk trends.
A particularly wonderful on-trend item is this tribal inspired, snake print Pleated Front Tunic, which could also serve as a short shift dress. I adore the way M&S have mixed a formal silky material with casual over-sized pockets, making this dress suitable for both smart wear and dressed down days!
Team with a pair of platform gladiators - either bare legged for a night out or over leggings for day-wear chic. If you’re looking to channel the tribal trend - add some carefully selected jewellery - a pair of ethnic-esque statement earrings would do nicely.

Miss Selfridge - SS09 - Ditsy Print Floral Dress
Apr 7, 2009 Miss Selfridge, fashion
Miss Selfridge has just dropped its new stock and I’m loving this Blue Rose Print Prom Dress!
The High St is awash with Cath Kidston-esque floral prints and this Miss Selfridge number, priced at a very reasonable £40 is my pick of the bunch. It’s very Darling Buds without screaming twee, mainly due to its synched in waist and tiered skirt - both adding some sex kitten appeal to this flowery stunner.
This Miss Selfridge floral dress can be adapted to suit a plethora of styles; team with an 1970’s oversized floppy hat and gladiator sandles for Sienna Millers boho look ( a trend that’s been re-ignited for 09) or match it up with a an oversized cardy, skinny belt and platform sandals for a ‘homage’ to Kelly Brook.
Head to Miss Selfridge for this SS09 must-have floral dress!

These Carbie courts have just enough animal omph to add a touch of tribal to your outfit, whilst avoiding ‘Flintstones faux pas’
I’d team the Carbie leopard print courts from Faith with a pair of jeans and classic Mac…add a touch of tribal jewellery to finish the look off!
