Editor's Pick of the Day: See by Chloé grey double frill knitted jumper

It’s the end of the month which means a few things (month-end procedures, bills, being another month closer to your next birthday – eek – etc etc) but one super-exciting thing in amongst all of this: payday!  With this weekend also coinciding with a Bank Holiday, that just means there’s even more free time to [...]

Kate Moss on the cover of UK Vogue September 2009 issue – what do you think?

Kate Moss on yet another ’Vogue’ cover – her 28th one for the British edition and the September issue of all issues (read: biggest issue of the year).  We get it – Ms Moss sells magazines.  But is it also a case of our dearly beloved mag hags getting lazy?  Are they scared in this current [...]

Editor's Pick: Givenchy criss-cross strap wedges from Yoox

Right now in London, it’s too hot for boots but it’s too rainy for flat sandals…  I know, I know – what a dilemma!  After the mistake of wearing ballet flats yesterday, only to have them very quickly fill with water so I had to slosh on home when the rain came bucketing down, you [...]

Sienna Miller’s time in the fashion ‘it’ girl sun is far from over if her recent appearances on the GI Joe promo trail are anything to go by.  The actress-with-hair-I-would-give-my-left-arm-for has hired herself  a stylist for the first time in her life, and while I can’t imagine she’d let someone have complete control over what [...]
