Accessories are the key to a polished look and if you can’t don the glamour, glitz and glitter for Christmas then when can you?! Ensure you sparkle in the snow with a stunning cocktail ring like Juicy Couture’s crystal studded number or add edge to your LBD with CC Skye’s statement giant stud cuff. Brooches are an underrated accessory and can add a dose of drama whilst remaining elegant. Try Kenneth Jay Lane’s crystal bee brooch for a touch of unique.

Clutches are still reigning for evening and the super clutch is top of the pile. Mulberry’s Ava is a striking jewel shade in the softest suede. Perfect for a stylish winter evening.

Will you be piling on the accessories this Christmas?

We’ve hit December and as the party season is fast approaching, we at my-wardrobe are all pondering what to wear for all the upcoming parties and of course, the office-do. As I’m sure you can imagine, we all want to look good, but one main aspect which is often overlooked in fashion is feeling comfortable in yourself. Get your dress right and you won’t need to worry about anything else! [Read more →]

If you haven’t yet noticed, this week we received our delivery of the fashion phenomenon that are Sass and Bide’s Black Rats! Having tried them on, they truly are amazing, but it must be said, reasonably tricky to wear. After a bit of a styling session in the my-wardrobe showroom, I’ve discovered four great looks you can bust! Tune in to our my-tv Black Rats special on Tuesday where you can see them in their full glory. Last night I went to a great gig and decided to trial one of them. I must say, I felt very chic in my new PVC Rats. But what look did I go with? It had to be the de rigueur shirt and blazer combo - very rock n roll!

Are you a fan of the rats?

So today is Thanksgiving which has made the my-wardrobe team not only come over all American, but also hanker after a huge Turkey dinner with all the trimmings - we know, we know, it’s not long until our own upcoming feast what with Christmas just a few weeks away, but the weather is cold and a Thanksgiving banquet is pretty inviting! But aside from the food, the fashionista within us really wants to know if you’re gathering around a large family dinner table tonight, what will you be wearing?

So, we feel we should introduce you to one of the my-wardrobe.com men - just in time to mark the landing of men’s accessories and with the exciting launch of our full menswear offering just edging around the corner for Spring Summer 2009. Please say ‘hello’ to Lee Douros, our rather dapper head of menswear! With his fab Hoxton-meets-dandy look, Lee’s fashion is detailed to perfection. His style is all about the accessories: a country flatcap is a must - adding a touch of shabby chic to any outfit, and the New York Hat Company’s grey herringbone Ivy flatcap is a real hit. It’s a Nick Bronson tie that really adds that je ne sais quoi to his splendid, and very specific, smart-casual look. And of course, let’s not forget the Mulberry tan Brynmore satchel. Currently at the top of his Christmas wish list (friends and family take note!), it’s the ultimate ‘man bag.’

With the Christmas party season tapping at the door, it really is time to shine in both the fashion and the beauty stakes. Heels get higher, hemlines get shorter, hair gets bigger and lips and eyes get darker and more dramatic! But what products should you be using?

After an afternoon with experts Cult Beauty the my-wardrobe.com beauty essentials have to be Louise Galvin’s Intensive Treatment Masque for fine hair and the Tara Smith Top Coat Glosser for creating that ‘just left the salon’ healthy shine  - so that’s the hair sorted! As for the remainder of your regime, how about the Shimmering Skin Perfector by Becca, the 3 Custom Colour Clarifying Pencil which is fantastic for covering blemishes on the go, and the Lip and Cheek Stain in I Ski Bunny, also by 3 Custom Colour.

There’s been a lot of talk of Christmas gift list writing at my-wardrobe HQ of late - we may be past the age for a visit from St Nick, but our loved ones seem only too keen to make sure they purchase the right pressies. Could this be because we’re all a little too Rachael (from ‘Friends’ who returned every gift she was ever given for something more suitable) or just because they care? Either way, after plentiful discussion we’ve decided that for 2008, gifts must be that perfect mix of classic meets luxury so that they’ll last for several seasons but we’ll still feel appropriately special! And so with this in mind, this is our collaborative Top 5 gifts:

1) Large Sevila wash bag by Anya Hindmarch - whether you’re a real Judith Charmers, or trips away are a more indulgent treat, this is the ultimate shower room essential.

2) Long locked purse by Mulberry - because you can’t beat a beautiful purse!

3) Black leather gloves by Twenty8Twelve - the fab laced detailing gives these that extra special edge

4) Pink Salusia scarf from By Malene Birger - snuggle up in this ultra long design

5) Black Margaux Wave shoe by Terry de Havilland - a little indulgent but utterly gorgeous! Everyone should own a pair of Terry’s.

What’s on your gift list this Christmas?

So, how many of you have turned your backs on party-filled Saturday nights out for a cosy spot on the sofa all nestled in to watch the unfolding drama that is the X Factor! At my-wardrobe towers, although we’re not shy to admit that the trials and tribulations of the contestants is pretty good viewing, it’s really Cheryl and her fab style that has kept us transfixed throughout the weeks. Do you remember the high-waisted trousers and the white and navy blazer that she wore during the auditions? And for the live shows there was the neon pink body con number, the long sparkly evening gown and how can we forget the leopard print tunic and pvc leggings on the launch week.

If my-wardrobe.com were to style her over the coming weeks we’d go for the following:
