London shopping centre, Westfield London, is bringing the excitement of one of its fashion shows to life for the online community, with the use of new video technology- ‘hotspotting’. The interactive technology has been applied by Westfield London to footage of the recent ‘Greatest Fashion Show on Earth’ catwalk show, featuring clothes from designers and brands including Twenty8Twelve, Ted Baker, Karen Millen and Hobbs.

Those who cannot fathom paying top price for a small piece of plastic should be happy to learn that Barratts has launched their own line of jelly sandals for a mere, affordable £15. However, shoes are not the only item that plastic is hitting, as the bag is also becoming plastic, although this time the bags are large, reusable, and Read More ...

Of course, there are a few rules that you need to follow before rushing out to buy all white, but with these in mind, white can result in a very sharp look.

The pop music star Lily Allen has decided to change her life. She has repudiated the world of superficial fame to bring democracy to the masses. Instead of performing for enthusiastic fans, she’s going to open a rental clothing shop that will carry high-fashion garments too expensive for the average trendy young woman to buy.

In February this year Lily Allen received one of the U.K.’s most coveted accolades in the music world, the Brit Award, for Best Female Solo Artist. She accepted the award, but said it doesn’t mean anything to her, since it’s just a matter of who puts up the most money Read More ...
