Shape Up For Spring

February 24, 2011 - 10:06 pm No Comments

They’re the ultimate fashion pair. We love Aunty Gok but, let’s face it, when it comes to dressing to suit your shape there’s only two people for the job. And after a short break away, they’re back!!!

Armed with a new Shapewear collection, Trinny and Susannah are here to help us kiss goodbye to those unwanted lumps and bumps using Shapewear guaranteed to make an impact.

Our buyers, Bex and Nicola, and PR Director, Annalie, were lucky enough to meet the straight talking twosome, about the shapewear collection in more detail, in London at the start of this month. They we

Show Stopping Hosiery!

February 20, 2011 - 6:56 pm No Comments

London Fashion Week’s in full swing and already we’ve spotted tights available from Tights Please on some of the best catwalks!

Despite the late start, which caused the editor of Harpers Bazaar, Lucy Yeoman, and Chairman of the British Fashion Council, Harold Tillman walk out, (Hilary Alexander also got up to leave, but was convinced to stay by Temperley.) it was an incredible show. Accessorised with the Wolford Rebecca Tights.

Equally as fabulous but less of a house-hold name, Clements Ribeiro, sent his models down in show stopping Wolford Sousan Tights!

So far we’ve spotted:

Wolford Rebecca Tights £28.00 at Temperly

Wolford Hero Tights -£33.00 at Prabal Gurung

Wolford Sousan Tights – £28.00 at Clements Ribeiro

Wolford Rebecca Tights – £28.00 at Jason Wu

Visit www.style.com, to see the tights in all their glory! But be quick,

Now, that the season is in full swing, I feel like I might really want to venture out wearing some of this stuff! Especially, when it’s a ’70s  crochet hot number, that would not look out of place on the A/W runways!  The Granny chic vibe makes a centrestage comeback (see blanket dresses at House of Holland and the sexed up crochet trims at Christopher Kane)…Well, Beyond Retro have long known the appeal of old lady dresses and the ‘joie de vivre’ of a crochet knit. It is really what every outfit should be about! Head to our o

Jessie J’s Got A Hot Hosiery Habit!

How many people watched the Brits last night with a genuine interest about who won the awards? Searching the pages of the fashion blogs and websites, you’d be forgiven for thinking the Brits were a fashion awards ceremony, with more coverage focusing on the outfits than the awards and their winners!

Not that I’m complaining! I love a good song, but ask me about music trivia, and I’m totally useless. Show me an outrageously cool outfit and you’ve got my full attention!

Outfit of the evening for me, has got to be Jessie J’s. Dressed i
