Renaissance spirit...

Fashion week has concluded and one strong trend coming through is brocade -  a richly decorated cloth with a luxurious feel, that exudes a Shakespearean spirit!

P is for peplum...

Peplum originates from the Greek word for 'tunic' and is emerging as a huge trend for 2012/13. Usually attached to a jacket, blouse or dress – it brings the waist into focus – and this silhouette flatters every body shape. The peplum usually is ruffled but there are more minimalist options and you can utilise a belt to create a "peplum" effect.

London calling...

Fashion moves me. Currently, it's London fashion week and the following designers have moved me - beautiful prints (they're here to stay!) colour and most of all, individuality.

Vogue barbie...

Pamela Thompson has designed for some of the most avant-garde fashion houses - Anna Sui, Betsey Johnson...and following the birth of her daughter Lily, she's rediscovered a love of dolls clothes. So the "Tiny Frock Shop" was born and Barbie is the style icon who is getting the fashion treatment.

Mary mary...
