Elizabeth and James – Nude – Pink Kimono Crepe Dress – Olsen Twins
Apr 3, 2009 fashion, my wardrobe
Every year, when the Oscars hit our screens, I wait with bated breath to see what the ‘tone’ of the forthcoming Spring/Summer season of fashion will be. You can literally guarantee, that most mainstream actresses (those who are dressed by stylists) will all be wearing a similar shape or colour that will heavily infiltrate the high street.
This year it was nude tones that dominated the red carpet and our high street is now awash with various shades of this flattering trend. My current high street fav is this Autograph Occasions Sleeveless Fan Detail Dress from Marks and Spencer. In a barely there shade and with its pleat detailed neckline, this structured stunner ticks all the summer trend boxes and is a very reasonable £55!
If you’ve a little more to spend, then head over to the Elizabeth and James collection at My-Wardrobe. Elizabeth and James is a collection designed by the Olsen twins – who themselves are huge fashion icons (stateside at least). Personally, I think their collection echoes their personal styles – eclectic, yet effortless – and none more so than this gorgeous and oh so easy-to-wear Pink Kimono Crepe Dress! Its hint of pink nude tone would suit most skin tones, whilst the casual cut and sleeves flatter and hide a multitude of sins. Its a My-wardrobe must-have!

M&S Cuts – Fashion Sales Plummet
Jan 7, 2009 marks and spencer
It’s been well documented throughout the media that M&S have had such poor sales this Christmas, they’ve no choice but to make cuts of around 1000 jobs. The fashion sales at M&S are what’s really slumped and the reason why the out-look isn’t good. I find this a tough pill to swallow and I’m not the only one – even Mark Heyes seemed baffled, when talking about the M&S cuts on this mornings GM.TV with Lorraine.
Like Mark Heyes, I believe M&S create beautifully cut, high quality, on-trend clothes – perfect for the current financial climate when everything seems so disposable and frivolous! Investment pieces are the way forward; women should be looking to create a capsule wardrobe of ‘good stock’ that will last for many years. I implore you, save M&S from further cuts, head to your local store and buckle the current trend of wasteful fashion for something enduringly chic, like this stunning Limited Collection Circle Mac, part of the new 50′s Festival trend at M&S, celebrating the vintage American look.
