We like to have a little banter in our office on a regular basis. Recently we have been admiring the male colleagues fashion. The fruit industry is quite a male dominated one but the doesn't mean that there aren't dapper chaps; the guys in our office seem to be able...

The shops are full of Spring/Summer collections. Much to our annoyance at the moment as it's more cardi and boots weather. But I dream of maxi dress and wedges time; shorts and a breton tee. Come on sunshine. But if you're pregnant at this time of the year; how do...

I often think I should have been born in a different era. In 1920's Paris or a little town in the French countryside. I would have been the young woman running the village bar; although I guess maybe at that stage young women weren't really seen in a bar; let...

Twice a year I submerge myself into a world which I love. I leave my fruit based day job for a coffee fuelled, outfit dilemma filled, fabulous few days at London Fashion Week. It happens twice a year; February and September and it always chaotic but fantastic.
I feel...

I don't often make New Years resolutions. I find that they tend to get lost in every day life by about March. Always good intentions, never seen through.
At the beginning of the year I got an email from MyDaily, asking about my New Year Style resolutions. Now those...

Every week I talk Fashion for BBC Radio Kent. The topic for this week fashion slot comes from an ongoing conversation on Twitter about #redtrousers.
A member of the Tunbridge Wells Twitterati (MrCRTW) loves his red trousers. I tend to disagree with his penchant for them. It's not because they...

September is almost over. Fashion Month will soon have been and gone but before we move on to Christmas Gift Guides and present shopping there is something very special occurring in Kent in the South of England.
A date for the diary for fashion lovers, this month is the...

September is my favourite month. Not because it's the end of summer and the nights are drawing in. Not because the kids go back to school but mainly due to it being Fashion Month. The big hefty 1kg+ fashion magazines land on my door step (too big to go through...

After the joy and madness that was New Zealand Fashion Week, I headed back home just in time for the ultimate fashion week of September's Fashion Month - London Fashion Week. But with lack of time and a decision to focus on NZFW this season, I was only taking my...

I love a good designer collaboration; Mary Katrantzou for Topshop, Anna Dello Russo for H&M, Maison Martin Margiela for H&M, Stella McCartney for Adidas, the list goes on. So when I heard that I could have designer style in my home.. I jumped at the chance.
The humble washing...

The press release read "Kagi set to shine at New Zealand Fashion Week". Wow, that was an understatement. As I tweeted from the Front Row, "never before have I seen operatics, story telling and dance on a catwalk". This was one amazing show. The audience laughed, they gasped, they were...

I'm the first to admit that style is not always about high fashion. As a lover of sourcing outfits from around the world, one of the most untapped sources is actually the supermarket.
From the year 2000 onwards French hypermarkets were a wealth of offers and I remember buying a...

As an international woman of mystery, fruit buying and fashion, I have my fair share of passport stamps. So much so, I used to have a competition with a colleague, as to who could get all the spare pages of their passport filled the quickest. I think I won. I've...

This week I've done a bit of celebrating for a certain milestone birthday. A while ago I started thinking about the best way to celebrate said birthday...dinner at my favourite restaurant, drinks at a London bar, a themed birthday party. It got me thinking. If I was to organise a...

They say that fashion tends to repeat itself, that it is cyclical in nature. adidas revealed their latest and greatest football boots last week and soon after they could be seen on Liverpool player, Dirk Kuyt. The boots were worn for the first time competitively at Wembley Stadium for the...

Well 'met' isn't quite the way to describe it, but it was the closest I will ever get to meeting the world famous, Italian fashion design duo.
Last weekend (20-21 April 2012), British fashion magazine Vogue hosted the first ever Vogue Festival, in association with Vertu. It has seemingly...
