Mark Hayes – GM.TV – Tribal Bag – M&S
May 19, 2009 accessories, marks and spencer
High street wonder-shop M&S announced this morning that they were a staggering 40% behind last years profits; a percentage that baffles me as I believed I’d single-handily funded them for the last year thanks to my new obsession with M&S clothes and accessories!!!
Firmly on my fashion radar, I’m so impressed with the high standard of designs and the quality of their garments - most especially M&S bags and shoes…
GM.TV’s Mark Hayes picked their Limited Collection Portobello Shoulder Bag as a must-have for those wanting to channel this seasons tribal trend and its easy to see why! This tribal bag is fabulous – colourful and fun, it’s just the sort of accessory needed to brighten up your day!
For those who fancy trying tribal-ware but are a little reticent; this tribal bag would do nicely as its strong shapes and bright colour are perfectly on-trend and would compliment the simplest of outfits without looking overkill.
I’d team it with a simple T, denim shorts and gladiator sandals…and would finish off the look with a statement necklace. Pukka.

Rubber Watches – Spring/Summer 09 – 80′s Trend is back!
Jan 12, 2009 accessories, Next
As a child of the 80′s I can get nostalgic about the good old days, neon bermuda shorts, slinky’s, my New Kids on the Block skateboard….but in all honesty, I do my best to avoid looking at photos of myself with crimped hair and off-the-shoulder baggy jumpers. The fashion of the 80′s is not something I’m in a hurry to re-visit…
I groaned on hearing 80′s fashion would be a huge trend for Spring/Summer…we’re a country hailed for its progressive attitude towards fashion…is there really a need to drag up the looks of yester-year? I began surfing the net in search of this new 80′s look and am not too proud to admit – I was wrong. Looking at those bright colours, comfy tops and quirky accessories my mood improved. Thats what we need this wear, fun, creative fashion, that will make us smile.
I’m loving the new take on 80′s rubber watches – a key look to this trend. I was in love with my rubber watch as a child – particularly as it was digital – so I didn’t have to go to the effort of working out the dial! Mc Donalds was a great place to pick up a rubber watch - they came free with a Happy Meal, but these days, as Maccy D’s tend to give away carrots and veg, I recommend you head to Next for your rubber watch. This perky pink rubber watch from Next is so on-trend and a snip at £15!

Winter Trend Alert: Deco
Nov 24, 2008 fashion
I adore Art Deco, in fact, my passion for it boarders on obsession with a C.D collection made up of Cole Porter albums and walls filled with framed pictures of Erte’s drawings.
In recent months I’d noticed a spattering of Deco inspired accessories on the high street, however, since Look magazine declared it ‘Time for an Art Deco Drama’ our favourite stores seem to be awash with elegant Deco style!
Distinctive and strong, Art Deco is a mixture of geometric patterns and strong colours, most commonly gold and black, though jewel tones creep in from time to time (particularly in accessories).
Deco design stems from the 1920-1930’s era, at a time (ironically echoing our current financial predicament) when the great depression was on and women looked to fashion and design as escapism. Think embellishments’, abstract and graphic designs.
My favourite Deco inspired accessory is from Miss Selfridge, this stunning Deco Beaded Clutch is bang on trend with its black and gold sequined pattern! It’s a good sized clutch (enough room for purse, mobile and lippy) and has the extra option of attaching a chain strap handle, a snip at £22!
For those with the confidence to fully embrace the trend, my ultimate recommendation is this All Over Sequin Dress from Oasis, at £110 it might seem a little pricey, but you’re paying for the intricate beading (reminiscent of original designs). This dress is simply beautiful, an investment piece, the timeless elegance of this design will see you trough many-a-swanky event for years to come. Other high street stores that have slightly cheaper options in the dress department are Littlewoods Love Label, who has created an intricate black and gold sequin dress and Miss Selfridge, whose Deco Foil Print Cape Dress is oh so flattering and a fabulous £38!
To sharpen the look, team with a tailored tux, like the one from Urban Outfitters in my previous post and a pair of jet earrings– very Lauren Bacall!
