Notes from Paris Deux: Rollers that don’t curl your hair

Along with a string of onions, the male in the roll neck sweater has ‘Je suis French’ written all over it. The festive season, like the Parisian man’s sweater, is all about the roll. Sausage rolls, rolls of wrapping paper, paper hats with bad jokes rolled up inside crackers, and then there’s the festive Yule … Read more

Being a dedicated style seeker, I decided it was in your best interests for me to take a trip to the style capital of the world: Paris.

Specs Appeal

Woody Allen, Austin Powers and….erm….Jack Duckworth. What do they have in common? ‘Specs Appeal’, a slice of fashion that’s dominating the catwalks right now.
