The folky bohemian look might be totally unhip now that fashion have moved in a leaner tougher direction but unusually-voiced songstress Joanna Newsom will always rock this style. I’ve picked an embroidered dress and accessorised it with a wooden bison brooch and a bird pendant. A floral tote adds some pattern-y interest and the empire […]

CQ Live Birmingham: Primark, New Street
Friday, August 31st, 2007If we’re talking bargains in Birmingham, then Primark has to be the first port of call. When it first opened the three-level shop was considered a Primark Superstore, the biggest branch in the Midlands and thus the first stop for most bargain hunters shopping their way through the second city. It still rivals the likes […]

Chanel Iman gets one step further for black models
Monday, August 27th, 2007Tuesdays post on Naomi Campbell’s feelings about black models in the fashion industry really struck a chord with me. As a black woman working in the fashion industry, I’m painfully aware of how underrepresented we are. Though I count models such as Coco Rocha and Erin O’Connor amongst some of my favourites, Liya Kebede, Sunna […]

Yay or Nay Wednesday: would you rather go naked than wear fur?
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007Our last Yay or Nay was the petunia swing turtleneck from Anthropologie. Most of you said that it was a wholehearted “Nay!”, although one our our fabulous readers pointed out they “think it would look great on someone with long brown hair and a chunky fringe”.
We featured Janice Dickinson marching (half) naked with her (fully) […]

CQ Live: Brighton’s Lanes, Yoma
Tuesday, August 21st, 2007Payday or not I regularly pop into Yoma to check out the latest offerings. Everytime I wear my green metallic Yoma shoes I get compliments and having had a look at their A/W stock I can assure you it’s similarly covet-worthy! Their brogue style courts in snakeskin (£45) and ribbon tie ankle boots (£65) have […]

Halter-neck pussybow tops from Victoria’s Secret
Monday, August 20th, 2007I’ve never been a big fan of halter-necks, I just think they don’t suit me (well that’s what I tell everyone, truth is I can not be bothered changing bras when I’m in a hurry so I just eliminate the temptation at the store). But I am in love with these two pussybow halter neck […]
