  • An angst-relieving anthem (or 12)

    An angst-relieving anthem (or 12)

    ‘Life events’. Ahhh, man. Sometimes, they’re a real bitch. Thank goodness then, for running. For yoga, meditation… and music. Big, artery pumping MUSIC. Where would we be without it? Especially when superwoman stars like Sia belt out empowering stuff like, “I’m so confident, I’m unstoppable today”. And, “I sing for love, I sing for me”, “I shout…

  • A life led less seriously

    I found myself toe-tapping and wishing I’d worn a cocktail dress on my commute today. Why? The Dick Tracy soundtrack and in particular, Madonna’s madcap ‘More’ which catapulted me back to my yesteryears of dancing just as crazily in the garden. Inevitably, a beaming smile soared across my face. All too often we take ourselves much…

  • “A copper. How do ya like that, boys? A copper.”

    In a bid to keep the weight off after being ill, and of course, to keep fit, one of the things I’ve found myself partaking in lately is a ‘lunchtime’ run. It enforces me out of the office, to step away from the computer screen for at least half an hour twice weekly – which…

  • Oh hello, love-of-my-life

    Now, if you ask anyone knows me to share a thing or two about auld muggins (that’s me), they’ll probably tell you at some point that I’m a big fan of all things religious. Nope, I don’t hang out at the church on Sundays, and yes, I’m sorry to say, the lord’s name is often…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Holiday Songs

    Seems this week The Fashion Office team are down on numbers so with only three of us lovely ladies selecting our tracks, we’ve chosen Holiday Songs. Might as well dream of escaping if everyone else has huh?  It’s officially Summer too (and raining, of course) so here’s what we’ve picked to get us into the…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Madonna Songs

    Believe it or not, it seems that The Fashion Office have somehow neglected covering Madonna so far (a little like last week’s theme). Possibly a punishable crime, we’re setting about putting our sins right by devoting this week’s post to our recommended, or rather favourite, songs by none other than the queen of pop. A timely…

  • The Fashion Office Recommends…Songs About Cities

    After three weeks off stuffing our faces with turkey, Quality Street and mince pies, we’re back!  This time, we’re dreaming of escaping the big freeze and prolonging the holiday period with Songs About Cities.  What better than a cool song inspired by a far flung destination to take your mind off the chill factor? Sartoriology recommends:…

  • 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…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 –…

  • Matthew Williamson to debut menswear at H & M

    First there was Stella, then Viktor & Rolf, Roberto Cavalli and Madonna in 2007, Karl Lagerfeld, Kylie and most recently, Comme des Garçons. Phew.   Spring 2009, sees Matthew Williamson become the successor in the line of designer ranges at H & M.  The big news is that come mid-May, you’ll be able to own…

  • Beyoncé gets fierce with fashion

        Beyoncé?  Sorry who? Beyoncé Knowles’s alter ego Sasha Fierce has taken centre stage complete with medieval, robot inspired get up reminiscent of Madonna’s Jean Paul Gaultier number.    Fashion mogul Thierry Mugler, (known more so for his fragrance Angel these days than his 80s power dressing), has been commissioned to design Beyoncé’s (rather,…

  • Happy Birthday Madonna – 50 today.

    As a long standing Madonna fan, I thought the only decent thing to do would be to wish her many happy returns on reaching the half-century benchmark. A fine fifty years old today, some will stand their ground and say she really ought to learn to grow old gracefully. I however fully back the chameleon,…
