Naomi Cambell









This bonafide diva has been stomping the runways & appearing in ads & on magazine covers for as long as I can remember.



In August 1988 she graced the cover of Vogue Paris as their very first black cover girl. In addition, she became the first African American  model to appear on the cover of Vogue UK, Vogue Nippon & TIME magazine.

Autumn 2009 Knitwear




Bright colours in strong jewel colours are sure to brighten up dull winter days, and if you prefer to invest in a neutral toned coat the outlay of a brightly coloured cardigan or tunic as above may be easier on your budget. Boyfriend cardigans in bright pops of colour are just the job to cheer up an otherwise dull mix of basic pants and shirt.


Overall note how there is more assortment in knitwear with both long and short knits at most shops. In mass market terms, look out for boyfriend cardigans or the waterfall long alternative. Aran style cable knits, fine knits, striped pieces, asymmetric styles, batwing or dropped sleeves, leg-of-mutton sleeves, cowl necklines and coat cardigans, all help to generate vast array.


Cowl necklines, either constructed, as part of a knitwear piece, or added as a separate accessory give that functional and fashionable layered look. Many cowls are so oversized they have become snoods.

Footwear Tips Autumn 2009 Winter 2010





Nothing cheers up a woman like new footwear. With new pair of shoes old outfits are transformed, new outfits seem to gel together better, and maybe even legs appear slimmer! Suddenly that new footwear is a must-have buy. In autumn 2009, women's shoe fashion has put its best foot forward with new ankle boots, thigh boots, biker boots, flat brogues and alarmingly high court shoes. At some catwalk shows there were even heelless shoes, a modern miracle of engineering.




This year update your look with the latest footwear, and that means either over-the-knee boots or fierce strappy ankle boots. Whilst killer heels are great for occasions where it's car to club, the new ankle boots are the most realistic option for the majority of us, and heels on ankle boots range from sturdy and low, to high and fierce.

Floral Fashion 2009 Trends

Accessories naturally lend themselves to decoration, and bags and scarves are the prime targets for floral fashion. But this year, shoes, necklaces and hosiery all vie for retail floor space. Square scarves are firmly back in the accessories drawer, and think about wearing them as a cowboy bib style for a careless air. Tops, tunics and blouses are an easy way to bring florals into your wardrobe without overdoing flower power. These items below are made from printed fabric or embroidered material.


Flowers probably first appeared on clothing as attached to a corsage or leaf wreath. At some point surface stitchery was added, and later simple motifs were introduced into basic weaves, the latter grew into COMPLEX damask brocade weaves. adds a true folkloric touch, and is most effective when applied to either a black or white background as the many example here illustrate..





Rose Handbag, Sandal Shoes & Jacquard Rose Lace Hosiery



This season separate floral or rose attachments appear on every accessory you can imagine. Marks & Spencer is onto a winner with this low cost rose decorated handbag. It has a patterned lining and has had rave reviews from purchasers.
Floral hosiery and footwear can also add a blast of colour to your winter outfits.







Floral Jewellery



Chunky jewellery has gained in volume again. This is no longer statement jewellery, but weighty armour. Floral forms, especially huge metal and semi-precious roses mixed with chain and pearls give extra three dimensional form to neckwear.
