The girls are coming round this eve for a “low key” post-birthday karaoke session (please don’t ask) and as I had a Topshop voucher burning a hole in my bag I decided to stop off at Oxford Circus on my way home this eve to blow it on a suitably home-based soiree outfit. Seems Topshop …

At the beginning of February, I was dashing around trying to style a suitably spring outfit for a magazine shoot. I was reet excited this morning to see the results: if you’re a South London dweller you’ll spot me in the March issue of Living South Magazine (or you can browse the digital edition wherever …

It couldn’t be a better start to 2013 here in London: the sky is cloudless and my NYE hangover is just about manageable. The shining sun certainly helps to focus the mind on better weather and new adventures ahead, and to celebrate that (and to do something a little bit special for the third anniversary …

Ah, kids. I’m so tired. Been working for 15 hours straight so not much to say this eve. Instead, I’ll just let you feast your eyes on the Topshop dress I’m coveting for when I go to see Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part II on Friday night. Vampish or what? N’night.

No, I’m not going to an early Halloween party this eve; even scarier than that, I’m off to see Grease at Wimbledon Theatre. Then, I’m dashing into town to celebrate the 40th birthday of one of my BFFs. There is nothing more frightening than a milestone birthday – especially when your own is just around …

Sometimes you don’t even have to think about a purchase for a second; I saw this flocked skull print jersey jumper in Topshop last week and was wearing it out within hours. It goes perfectly with skinny black jeans and studded boots (which is how I wore it to Mama Mia on Friday); you can …

Well, what to make of this. Perhaps “style icon” Kelly Osbourne reads Fashion Detective ‘cos she was on This Morning wearing the neon green peplum Topshop top I bought / blogged about back in the summer… I’ve been wearing that top quite a lot recently. It works with jeans, and with a vintage denim midi …

Time for some shoe porn? I wanted to devote a post to Sophia Webster as her sexy shoes were the only ones to really grab me at Somerset House this time around – not least because she’s the first shoe designer to be given a Newgen award… Webster, a South Londoner (yay!) and Nicholas Kirkwood’s …

On Friday, the truly wonderful Irish designer JW Anderson launched a collection for Topshop – and I was in there like the proverbial rat up a drainpipe; I love the androgyny, the playfulness, the prints, the shapes. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a designer/high street collaboration… I could have gone mad. …

I had a bonanza in Topshop today; that place has gone boucle mad for AW12/13. Jackets, dresses, trousers, shorts…it was hard to pick my fave. In the end I settled for this gorgeous fluorescent lime green boucle top with a pretty peplum (£22). I may yet invest in the matching skirt, but I felt it …
