Sixties summer with Joe Browns

May 10, 2017Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Summer look-books are aplenty in my inbox, but it takes something special – and 60s-tastic – to grab my attention when it comes to current collections. This month, the spring/summer pieces at Joe Browns caught my eye. From striped early-60s style cardis to a tankini that makes me feel like I’m a wise-guy’s-wife, the emphasis …

December 1960s fashion – five gold things

December 4, 2016Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

It’s nearly Chriiiistmas! I may not have bought gifts for anyone else yet, but I did get down to Posh Totty Designs in Brighton last weekend to collect my fabulous new necklace: a bespoke pendant in rose gold. It’s a little plectrum engraved with the word “Something”. You know why. As per the pic above, …

Back on the Gemma Cairney show – doing her OTM slot (woop!)

January 13, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Yessss, the metallic tee was back on today as I was down at Radio 1Xtra towers again (looking knackered – where are my eyes?!) with the very lovely Gemma Cairney. This time I featured on Gemma’s So OTM (of the moment) slot. If you wanna hear my verdict on the three trends going up in …

Black long-sleeved glitter dress worn by Claudia Winkleman on Strictly November 13th

November 13, 2011Written by: Johanna Payton 1 Comment

Perhaps Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman reads the blog (who could blame her?) because on Strictly’s November 13th results show she was rocking the black sparkly Topshop dress I have been lusting after for weeks. I originally came across this lurex flecked, long-sleeved lovely when I was looking to match the black glittery dress …

Fashion Detective vs Flat Shoes – can they ever look good on girls?

November 13, 2011Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Mr. Fashion Detective has been wearing desert boots for knocking on 20 years. It’s one of the more superficial things that attracted me to him (although, in my younger years, I was known to wriggle out of relationships for lesser crimes than a man wearing slim, shiny shoes that reminded me of mice). I have …

Ladies. I feel we have to put this one to bed before we can go on living our lives. Like you, I am desperate to know where Louise bought the amazeamundo beige / nude dress with a black collar she wore in Paris. It was so beautiful, and worked so well with the red feather …

O. M. F. G. Was last night’s Morocco episode of Made in Chelsea the best ever for fashion or what? Answers on a postcard (or in the comments section). Needless to say I have opened various lines of enquiry (stay tuned for news on Caggie’s unbelievably gorgeous printed midi dress), but let’s start with rockin’ …

Pink bubbles at Chez Bruce – on a Monday

November 7, 2011Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Celebrating nine years of marriage on a Monday could make a person feel old. Or, you could pop on a vintage blouse, go out to a v swankly local restaurant (read: Chez Bruce on Wandsworth Common), drink pink fizz, eat a pig feast (pig cheek – turns out, nicer than it sounds) and chug down …

As promised last week, when I spilled the beans on Millie Mackintosh’s Hervé Léger bandage dress, here’s a low down on two more of Made in Chelsea star Millie’s signature pieces, as requested by my brill skillz readers… When Millie broke up with Hugo on the banks of the Thames in the second episode of …
