  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Christmas Songs!

    Ok, so we had to do a festive theme sooner or later! With workloads relentlessly on the up before St. Nicholas parks his sleigh to make those all important deliveries, it seemed only natural to inspire a bit of festive cheer in The Fashion Office. So from the ever-popular Wham to classic Bing Crosby, here’s our hit list…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs To Trick Or Treat To

    This Saturday things will go bump in the night, carved orange faces will eerily light up door steps and ghouls, gargoyles, skeletons and black cats will take to the streets.  Halloween, it’s just like any other night out in London. To celebrate the spooky occasion, The Fashion Office have dedicated this week’s issue to Fright…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs About Leaving

    For the last week, all we’ve heard in the office is “Because I’m Leaving!” belted out at the top of SoStylistic’s voice.   In a vain attempt to keep the noise down, and as the rather vocal lady in question is moving on to pastures new, it seemed only fit to dedicate this week’s The…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs Inspired By Colours

    There’s a good vibe in The Fashion Office today, the sun is shining, it’s Friday and we’re feeling inspired by Colours this week.  By chance, it’d appear there’s a lot of gold going on too, and from a collective of sensationally-stylish ladies with naturally expensive taste, who’d expect anything less? Sostylistic recommends: Jill Scott –…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs Featured In Adverts

    This week The Fashion Office Recommends turns its attention to TV with Songs Featured In Adverts. From Crunchie to Barclaycard, Levi’s to the very British Co-op, here’s the tracks we love from some of the best ads to grace our screens over the last few years… Sostylistic recommends: The Pointer Sisters – I’m So Excited, from Crunchie.…

    After a bit of a break, it’s time again for The Fashion Office Recommends. This week, it’s all about songs that inject a little sunshine into our lives.  From those that make you jump around in your bedroom like a crazed fool, to tracks that simply bring a smile to your face; here’s something to make your…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Chill-Out Tracks

    This morning I was wide awake about 5.45am, due to a little thing called excitement and a big thing called a birthday in Ibiza.  After composing myself enough to get into work, my natural reaction was to theme The Fashion Office Recommends around the Spanish-isle but no, I thought best to try and keep a lid on it and sensibly chose…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Miss Dolly Parton

    This week, we’ve gone a bit country and dedicated The Fashion Office Recommends to none other than Miss Dolly Parton.  Obviously, it’d have been rude not to have included the amazing ‘9-5’ and after a rather ‘special’ day in the office, here’s to a lovely long Bank Holiday weekend. Enjoy. Sostylistic recommends a track named…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Power Ballads

    Seems each Friday, I take subconcious pleasure in making this as difficult as possible for myself – this week, The Fashion Office Recommends…Power Ballads.  Sorry people, things are about to get very slushy… Sostylistic opts for:  Aerosmith – Don’t Want To Miss A Thing. Ellie: Bon Jovi – Always. New Favourite Thing chose: White Snake –…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs That Stick Like Glue

    Once again, the girls have chosen some great tracks for The Fashion Office Recommends. This week, the theme is catchy little numbers that simply stick in your head and by chance, there seems to be a bit if an underlying Sade theme. So here they are, some great sounds to help you into the weekend.…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Floor Filling House Tracks

    This week, I’ve been rather self indulgent and got the girls to dedicated their recommendations to my first love – dance music. Whilst my choice may not be an all-time favourite, I’ve picked it as not only do I love it but it’s stubbornly refused to get out of my head all week.  Listen to…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Cr*p Songs You Know You Love

    Due to popular demand, this Friday I’ve devoted The Fashion Office Recommends to what’s affectionately known as ‘Cheese’.  There’s some aromatic choices… As much as i may have no shame where it comes to music, this challenge was particularly difficult.  After battling with Carly Simon’s, You’re So Vain (too cool), i toyed with Madonna and I’m going Bananas or…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…week three

    So, Friday has snuck up on us once again!  We’re now on week three of The Fashion Office Recommends – a selection of tracks sent my way from my fashionable desk sharers and created to expand all of our musical libraries.  Last week, the feature was fittingly dedicated to the sad passing of the King Of Pop,…

  • The Fashion Office recommends…a tribute to Michael Jackson

    He’ll be number one in the charts, Google’s most searched term, the biggest topic for bloggers, a sell-out in all music stores, on everyone’s iPod (including mine) and he’s already Last FM’s top listened to artist.   A man who needs no introduction, Michael Jackson will be sadly missed the world over. In light of his passing yesterday,…
