60s style sunglasses by Taylor Morris

60s style sunglasses by Taylor Morris
March 17, 2015Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

I don’t always love the round-shaped 60s style sunglasses – I’m more inclined towards the 50s cats-eye shape, or the huge make-you-look-like-a-fly oversized sunnies favoured by the Olsen Twins (I have no idea why they always spring to mind when I think of massive celeb-style sunglasses). But these, I do like. They are the splendid …

Jelly bags make a comeback

July 1, 2014Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

You might remember, many moons ago, that I was leaping around in Tenerife wearing jelly shoes. Well, now jelly bags are back, and I’m here to tell you they are COOL. Made by Sun Jellies, this brill little beach-perfect bag comes in pink, coral or black. But don’t stop at the sand: I’d love to …

J Crew chunky necklace

January 7, 2014Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

They say that working in an office, as opposed to being freelance, is more expensive because you buy lunches and coffees and travelcards. But you also end up staring at other people’s clothes and accessories all day and that my friends, is a dangerous proposition…. Take today for example. My lovely friend Jo (we’re pretty …

Hip to be square

October 26, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

It’s been a day of many developments, but I am – frankly – bushed, so I’ll save the excitement for tomorrow and for now share with you the latest addition to my costume jewellery collection. This square, gold plated galaxy ring is just £12 from Accessorize. It’s got a lovely vintage twist but the zinc …

Butterfly print linen look scarf

September 10, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

Ok, I admit – I was slightly caught out by the crazily cool (considering this time last week) temperatures when I got off the train this morning in a pink floral tee, tiered khaki skirt and cropped teal cardi. The shiver-tastic situation was, however, easily fixed by an emergency linen look butterfly print scarf (£19) …

Petrol blue Biba bag

July 4, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

I certainly am a lucky little fashion fan, you know. Tomozza, I’m going on a (gulp) work’s night out. First one for about, oooh, 11 years… (The last one ended in an almost-punch-up outside the Bluebird and the loss of a job – less said about that the better.) I actually like the people I’m …

Time to shop for designer vintage watches

January 30, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Disaster: I managed to mangle my posh DKNY watch strap this morning. It’s definitely fixable, but I nearly had heart failure when I did it; my mum gave me that watch and it’s the poshest watch I’ve ever worn. If I’d gone and broken it, at least the timing wouldn’t have been too shabby. It’s …

A Barbie-flavour Christmas present for a fashionable young lady

November 12, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 3 Comments

As we’re all starting to panic focus on Christmas, thought I’d share a top tip for fashionable young ladies… Back in the summer I was sent a Clippy Barbie lunch bag to carry snacks around in at London Fashion Week. There was all sorts of Disney/Barbie buisness going on there in September so it worked …
