We want style icons #1



First in an occasional series. We're going for as eclectic a bunch as possible here, in order to reflect the general british public.

And our first style icon at the blog is none other than John Lydon.

It's in the attitude, the colour, the anger and the clothes. As a daily jeans wearer, I can only marvel at John Lydon's determination to continue his decades-long jeans embargo.

Oh I do like to be beside the sales sign...!


The UK summer seems to be holding up. Bit of rain here and there, but temperatures still fairly warm. So that's some good news. It's that summer heading into late-summer point that we're now getting to. There may be a 'scorcher' or two down the line, but it's probably safe to say that the main part of the summer is more than halfway through.

And sad though that may seem, it harbpurs some sweet news in that now's the time for mid-season sales. The high street is up to its astragals in sales right now, as is the online world.

So go pick yourself up a bargain while the summer's still here, and think of the rich Autumn harvest only six weeks away!

You could either try an online clothes store or take a trip into town - either way, there's savings in them thar clothing outlets...

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to look mega-smart, like *all* the time?

Well... one way they do it isn't by spending over the odds (although some undoubtedly will), it's by spending smart.

We all have expensive garments in our wardrobe, but these can be mixed with other garments to create that smart look. There are a lot of websites out there where you can assemble a full outfit for not a lot of money, which is good to hear in these crunched months.

So get smart and get on the web - it's where a lot of mid-season sale action is happening, and you don't have to leave your living room!

Me, I'm looking for bargains from now until the Autumn season stuff gets released. It's only going to get cheaper from here on in. Hopefully ;)
