New Look for a New Look

Hi,
One of the many new looks coming through for Spring/Summer 2009, is distressed denim. Remember the stonewash and snow wash jeans from yester year, well they are back. Hooray I hear you shout!!! Denim will be ripped, bleached, spliced and frayed. This outfit from New Look not only fits the bill, it is affordable ( well that is important right now ) and it is a good transitional outfit. Kaftan top £20 and jeans £25.
Do you remember this light blue denim look from the first time around? What do you think of it?
Keep an eye on my site www.thefashionfix.co.uk to get all the trends for the new season.

Little people and 20 years on!!!!

Hi,
Yesterday I went to the trade show Bubble at Olympia, this is only for childrenswear. I wanted to have a nose around and keep myself up to date with little people's clothes. The first person I bumped into was the head of childrenswear for French Connection, who recognised me from 20 years ago when I was a fashion buyer and he as selling the French Connection range ( for grown ups). After a long catch up chat ( well, we had 20 years to go over) I left his stand amazed and also pleased that he had recognised me from so long ago. I'm also glad that 20 years on I still love the buzz of being at a trade show and still have a love of clothes, even little peoples!!!
Do you look much different from 20 years ago? Let me know.

Break the safe habit

Hi,

If you want to introduce a new trouser shape into your workwear wardrobe why not to try the peg trouser. This will update your look and make your capsule work wardrobe much more this season.

This great pair from Dorothy Perkins are ideal at £25.

You can now look great at work and break the safe habit.

Happy New Year

Hi,
I have not been blogging over the Christmas and New Year holidays, so Happy New Year to you. It's that time of year when you may be thinking about Spring/Summer and the new trends, but it is FAR too cold to wear anything but thermals and quilted coats ( obviously as well as layers of other clothes). Now is a good time to have a good sort out, get your wardrobe into some sort of order- clear out any clothes that you have not worn for a couple of seasons or that no longer fit ( either too big or too small ). This is a great cleansing process ready to embrace the New Year.
If you are unclear what to keep or give to the charity shop take a look at my website www.thefashionfix.co.uk. You can always call me for advice.

One more sleep to go

Hi,
My kids are very excited with only one more sleep to go before Santa arrives, they are wondering how much chocolate they are going to get in their stocking whereas I am wondering what to wear for Christmas day lunch, so that I can eat lots of chocolate.
For this, I have decided to be stylish and comfortable. I will wear my favourite black skinnies and a fab new blouse with intricate collar detail. It is such a shame that elasticated waist trousers aren't on trend !!!
Don't forget you can take a peak at my website for any last minute fashion ideas. www.thefashionfix.co.uk
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas
