Team fash have been getting far too excited about the release of the Great Gatsby (starring Carey Mulligan, Leo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire). I've even considered coming to work in a full evening gown, pearls and pin curl hair to show my glee. Fashion may be heading back to the jazz age for inspiration and we say bring on the pearls, ruffles, hats and sparkle.  Tell us what would be your dream...

From Whistles to Mulberry, Daks to Paul Smith - the Oxfam shop at Royal Windsor was bursting with fashion gems for women and men. Set amongst an array of equestrian wear and artisan craft stalls the Oxfam shop stood out with its bright Hermes scarves and quirky displays. So, what was the first thing to do? Get mooching around the rails of course! I firstly had a look at some of the men's clothes on offer, getting shop...

Dig out those coats and rifle through your loft - because we need your clothes for the One Day Wardrobe Clear Out. ...

Last weekend, we got our first proper taste of Spring for 2013. It may have felt like it was never going to arrive but now it has, it is time to pack away those winter woollies and dust off something bold and bright for the season ahead. As always, there are plenty of trends around for Spring, so I have picked out a few of my favourites using the Oxfam Online Shop. I love these looks, not just because they are so now but I also think...

Festival season has kicked off and, although we're only having brief spurts of sunshine here in the UK, over in the US where Coachella is taking place it's all sun and fun.Two big trends for summer festivals are 90s fashion and fringing. This fashion DIY combines both of those so you can hit two trends with one very fashionable stone. I recently bought a high neck plain white crop top but I was desperate to make it my...

There are now countless small ethical fashion brands to choose from and high street retailers such as H&M have got in on the act by marketing ethical or sustainable collections. Vintage looks are on trend, so more and more shoppers are turning to second-hand finds to create authentic, stylish outfits. Is all of...

Oxfam and high street retailer Monsoon have joined forces with artisan producers in India to design produce and sell a delightful range of ethical homeware products. Monsoon designed each item and then skilled workers from Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA), Noah's Ark and Tara Projects produced them to be sold in Oxfam shops. The exquisite selection of kitchen textiles, including hand-embroidered oven gloves, aprons...

Thought about having a Spring clean lately? With the Spring/Summer fashion season arriving its time to dig out those old coats and knits and bring them down to your local Oxfam shop. And now you've got even more reason to have a clear out - Nectar points. Oxfam customers who sign up to Tag Your Bag (Oxfam's Gift Aid scheme) will be able to collect Nectar points when items they donate to Oxfam shops sell in store or on...

When I saw these amazing Bad Habit cut-out shorts with skull studs, I fell in love. But I knew I wasn't going to pay for them when I could easily make them at home. Overall the project cost me nothing as I already had a pair of fabric scissors and I already had a pair of shorts which I received in a clothes swap. Convert old denim jeans or shorts (like these from Oxfam) into super trendy peek-a-boo pocket...

Probably due to the lack of sunshine, I have found myself trying to buy my way to happiness. These last few weeks I have made a number of ethical fashion purchases that I thought I would share with you, so here goes... When perusing through Brighton's North Laine, my friend spotted a shop that she said she thought would suit my style. Low and behold it turned out to be an ethical fashion retailer! A...
