Where there's a Will...


Finding good quality high fashion vintage pieces can be tricky. It can take a lot of time and hunting, and let's face it - we're all very busy!

But fret not, my dear vintage-loving friends - help is at hand! Iconic British fashion haven Browns will be stocking an ever changing array of the finest vintage clothing and haute couture by vintage king WilliamVintage. Prices will range from £375 to £16,750, and will include incredible pieces by Balenciaga, Balmain, Cardin, Courreges, Ossie Clark, Desses, Dior, Lanvin, Madame Gres and many others. That may sound rather pricey, but these pieces are historical treasures that are definitely worth investing in.



You can browse part the stunning collection over at the Browns website, but I'd recommend heading to one of their shops to see a fuller array of pieces. You can also follow WilliamVintage on Twitter to read all about his glamorous vintage lifestyle.

Much love,

Absolutely Fabulous

The other night I was invited to attend a launch party by Fabulous magazine, a fashLinkion-filled glossy that comes with the News of the World every Sunday. It was an extremely stylish affair, held on the 13th floor of the amazing News International Office - in case you haven't experienced it yourself, here's the sort of view you can expect...

Not too shabby, eh?

We were all thoroughly spoiled to say the least! RUSH were on hand to do hair and make up, New Look kindly provided pieces from the S/S10 collection for us to try on and a professional photographer was there to capture the fun.

The reason for all of this? Rachel Richardson, the Editor of Fabulous, announced that Fabulous and Next Model Management are launching a nation-wide search for a hot new model!


The winner of the competition will appear on the cover of the magazine and a global modelling contract with top international model agency Next Model Management - a pretty incredible prize, I think you'll agree! So if you or someone you know has got what it takes to grace the cover of Fabulous and live a model lifestyle, then log on to www.facebook.com/fabulous and upload your picture. Entries are then voted on by the public to reach a final shortlist of ten. The competition is open for entries until 2nd July and public voting closes at midnight on 4th July.

So what are you waiting for?! Head over to www.facebook.com/fabulous and get uploading!

Much love,
