Fear not though, as the wonderful world of blogging is here to save your pocket and your clothing credentials. Food for the fashion hungry? I could binge [...]
Food and Clothing?!
We all have to make choices: for me, I’m ashamed to say that I would probably go without decent food for a couple of weeks if it meant I could afford the new bag/dress/shoes I ‘needed’. However, rather than telling you that it’s time to ‘prioritise’ or (god forbid) ‘budget’, I’m going to share a [...]

Luella Bartley: is this the end?
Luella’s recent Spring/Summer 2010 collection, described by Bartley as ‘Manga meets Margaret’ was a whirlwind of PVC Minnie-mouse bows, candyfloss textured dresses, and palpable polka dots. It was the perfect collection for any girl who is willing to poke fun at their own cuteness. However, the likelihood of this comely collection ever seeing the shop [...]
