Having watched on enviously as Carrie Bradshaw totters around Manhattan and Abu Dhabi in her Halston Heritage [...]



Terry De Havilland receives lifetime achievement award

Monday, May 31st, 2010

We’d be surprised if shoe designer to the stars Terry De Havilland didn’t go mad this weekend – he certainly had reason to celebrate. After all, he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Drapers Footwear Awards in London last week.

Office Styles for Women

Friday, May 28th, 2010

Business casual for women can be difficult to get right. It’s much easier for men who always wear some variation of full suit with tie, suit without tie, slacks and shirt without a jacket, etc. Business casual can be tricky for women to dress for without looking either too sexy or too buttoned-up.
