Remember the floral tunic Primark brought out not so long ago? The one they were selling for £8, but which was permanently sold-out in store, so if you wanted it you were forced to pay a whole lot more than that on eBay? Well, do [...]
Now, I know Sienna Miller is always being held up as some kind of style icon (although for the life of me I don’t know why), but in this still from Factory Girl she reminds me of no one more than Pat Butcher of Eastenders [...]
OH. MY. GOD. I know these shoes are so over the top that even Dorothy probably wouldn’t wear them (although drag queens probably would). I know there aren’t many events in my life that call for such very glittery shoes as these. Even so, I [...]
See these two dresses? These dresses were going to be my salvation – a small victory in the ceaseless battle against tunics. "Why, those look almost like dresses with waists!" I gasped this morning as I saw them appear on the Miss Selfridge website (and [...]
H&M’s new "upmarket" line, COS, is getting ready to launch, and as the title of this post says, it’s all looking a bit, well, "blah", really, isn’t it? OK, there’s nothing particularly offensive here, but there’s not much to get excited about either, is there? [...]
Now, I know big, clumpy shoes have been around for a while now, and they don’t seem to be going anywhere fast (just like you won’t be going anywhere fast when you try to walk in them), but I’m wondering now what people actually think [...]

I have a little saying that has served me well throughout my life: "If I can’t do it in my stilettos, it’s probably not worth doing". Luckily, there’s not much I can’t do in my stilettos, hence my other little saying: "If you can do [...]
I’m absolutely loving Delia’s right now. We’re stuck here at the dog end of a long, cold winter, and Delia’s is just filled to the prim with colourful, cheap things that make it all better. And I know the sheer Barbie-ness of these shoes should [...]
OK fashion designers and retailers, the game’s up. I want you to come out now with the tunics above your heads (no, not like that!) and no one will get hurt here. That’s it, all the way out… You see, I’ve had enough. I have [...]
Now, this isn’t going to be yet another, "GOD, I hate dungarees" post (although I totally do. Hate them, that is), and OK, even I can see that the shirt is cute, but… does it strike anyone else that this woman is dressed like a [...]
