Channel Chanel Style – Marks and Spencer Chanel-esque Jacket
Jul 27, 2009 celebrities, fashion, homages, marks and spencer
An iconic following for many years and with the release of the new film, “Coco Before Chanel” it’s no wonder everyone’s going coco crazy!
Setting the benchmark for chic Parisian fashion, it was Coco Chanel’s simple attitude towards high fashion, her mantra that to achieve classic elegance it’s simply a case of ‘less is more’ has ensured that the signature Chanel style has remained enduringly popular…
To chanel your Chanel style, have a look at the wonderful high st ‘homages’ on offer – my favourite being the Chanel-esque jacket from Marks and Spencer. A simple dogtooth jacket inspired by French couture, this Chanel-esque jacket would look great teamed with a pair of skinny jeans or wide-leg trews.
For a more authentic Chanel style jacket take a look at the 125 Years Boucle Jacket - simple, stunning and currently on sale!

Playsuit – New Look – Cherry Print Playsuit
Apr 16, 2009 fashion, new look
Playsuits are everywhere this season and it’s so east to see why! At a time when Britain’s down on its knees it’s great to see catwalks, shops and magazines full of brazen items that should improve your mood…and what could be more apt than the ‘play’ suit; an easy wear one piece that’s a little tongue in cheek!
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.
A credit-crunch friendly £25 from New Look.

She-Ra T-shirt – Truffle Shuffle – Loungewear Trend
Jan 16, 2009 fashion
I’m getting the impression that Loungewear is set to be a hot trend for 09 – if this is the case then I’m permanently on-trend!!! I live in my sweats, leggings and oversized jumpers (ah, the joys of working from home!) but have, of late noticed that my attire is looking drab and tired…its one thing to look comfy…quite another to be down-right slob!!
Had a ganders on Truffle Shuffle this avo and now I can’t stop thinking of all the T-shirts I’d like! For those of you who don’t know, Truffle Shuffle is an awesome site that sells retro T-shirts with prints of retro T.V shows on them. There are soooo many to choose from as you find yourself getting really nostalgic about the cartoons and movies of yester-year. My firm favorite is the She-Ra T-shirt…She-Ra was after all, my childhood hero!
Head to Truffle Shuffle for some retro cartoon action!
