Beige. Usually a word I say to describe something boring and lacklustre, like Coldplay. But now for some reason, it’s a hue I can’t get enough of. As someone who struggles to with black (am I the only one with this problem?!) neutrals have been that go to colour after
When you think of Harris Tweed, some may conjure up images of Country Living, Downton Abbey or even your Grampa’s favourite cap. But in reality, the stunning Scottish textile is re-werking wonders on catwalks around the world. Designers from little to large are creating modern takes on an old-school staple and
This past year we’ve seen a surge in crowdfunding where brands ask you, the people, to invest in their idea or product. Many of them won’t reach their goal or even have their idea come to life unless they convince the public that their ideas are worth their cold hard cash.
He’s the Scottish designer who started out in furniture and textiles but took the fashion world by storm with his love of colour, print and everything waffle-like. He made retro jumpers a ‘thing’ again and even managed to make beige look interesting (!). Yes my dears, today I’m talking about
Scarves. Just throw it around your neck and you are done, right? Wrong. Some people can really underestimate the versatility of a good scarf and the million ways you can wear them to up your outfit ante. Sure, you could just let them hang around your decolletage, but my particular
The Ronettes had it all wrong. The best part of breaking up is not the making up, it’s the wake-ing up. This post is in loving memory of our beloved Obscure Couture and I for one don’t know if I’ll ever be ready to say goodbye. The Scottish Design house that

It’s finally happened, I have joined the sneaker society. Trainers have never really been my bag but since last year, they’ve replaced the stiletto as the shoe du jour. Even all the major fashion houses got in the game, opting for some more not-for-the-gym kinda kicks. But if like me
There’s never a time that you need something new quite like Christmas. My dresses of Christmas past seem to haunt my wardrobe (or my Depop) taunting me that they’ve not been worn in pretty much a year – or three – to the day. It’s not their fault I bought
It’s officially got to the hand-numbing, nose-freezing, don’t-want-to-leave-your-flat part of December. And, if you haven’t invested in the ever trustworthy Chouchou, then you are really missing out on the heat and style stakes. When the temperature drops, so does our love for getting dressed in the morning. It’s more of a
It’s easy to forget that 10 years ago the only way we could get a designer label on our backs was to max out our overdraft and credit card. But, with the help of some of our high street honeys, H&M, Topshop and Target (lucky Americans) are just some of the
I am such a magpie for movement in clothes, which is why I’ve always been drawn to fringing. Whether it be on the sleeves of a jacket, bag or skirt ala Christopher Kane SS16, I am in love with anything that dances with the slightest breeze. People laughed when I
