Not to be perturbed by the awful weather we have been having in London, I skipped along to the Oxfam Shop in Hammersmith on the look-out for Spring trends, and I was not disappointed! Monochrome is a timeless trend which the pictured coat perfectly mirrors as well as providing comfort to the wearer in this cold period. As quoted on the Oxfam Online Shop Trends page, colours are bountiful this Spring so I was beaming when...

The word ball gown conjures up in my mind, extravagant and voluminous...

So yes, I have returned from an amazing one month trip to South East Asia where I discovered the ancient city of temples in Angkor, Siem Ream in Cambodia to drumming the crazy streets of Hanoi on the hunt for my next fix of Pho to just hanging out with my lovely friends in what I fondly call their home, the tree house in...

So you didn't make it down to the exclusive interview with Christian Louboutin at the Design Museum?

As you heard from Louboutin himself, "designing shoes is a magician's work...
