Being predominantly a trainer-wearer, I have super soft, easily irritated, coddled feet, so sandal shopping is a nightmare. I despise anything that goes between my toes so thongs and toe posts are a total no-go. Trying to find sandals without them is a hard slog plus I also hate straps...

Ever since the The Body Shop started the classroom craze for little potted lip balms, I've been hopelessly hooked. Thanks to those tiny, apothecary-style glass jars full of unctuous, sweet smelling goo - Morello Cherry for a cheery tint, Tutti Frutti for a moisturising glaze - I haven't been able...

A quick shoe update for fellow footwear obsessives... If you want to see more, have a look at my 'out and about' spots over on instagram (@sarahmcgiven) where this week I was mostly obsessing about '& Other Stories heels', sherbert coloured adidas adicolour sneakers and, for the boys, world map...

WHIT - the cool, colourful fashion line by designer Whitney Pozgay - was one of the first brands recommended to me when I looked into who to check out whilst in the States. From friends to my hairdresser, everyone wanted to clue me in to this great new...

More shopping intel on an NYC-tip for you, although these new fashion brands I was introduced to in the States are actually from all over the world, all the better for your easier-to-shop pleasure.

These are mostly previews featuring my favourite pieces from the Autumn (aka 'Fall') / Winter 13...

I've just got back from a few weeks in New York so plan on bringing you posts on some of my favourite new discoveries from the Big Apple over the next few weeks.

First up, how DKNY are embracing the whole local/global and curating trends with their...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of one of the most iconic trainer styles - the Nike Air Max. As part of their celebrations to mark the occasion, Nike commissioned various London artists to interpret some classic Air Max styles, shown below, and the results now form part of a...

A quick look at the latest, greatest footwear releases this month - from cool performance training shoes and graphic street fashion sneakers, to sweet retro-styled suede brogues and classic, timeless courts - for anyone looking to update their shoe collections this weekend.

As someone with a propensity for dressing like...

There are always so many pieces around at this time of year advising on wonderful gifts to spoil your mum with this Mother's Day so I figured I'd do something else this year. Here's a few tips on what NOT to give your mum this Sunday, unless you want out...

I've always loved Valentine's Day, even when I was single, just because I'm a big old soppy romantic and adore that whole 'love is in the air' feeling. That, and it gives you a little reminder to buff up not just your beauty prep but also to go get measured...

Good sunglasses and el cheapo fashion ones you get on the High Street (or, worse, festival stalls) are worlds apart. I never believed in 'proper' sunglasses, preferring to chop and change between throwaway fashion pairs, until I fell in love with some Chanel frames.

Simple, chic and classic black...

Christopher Lee Sauvé is ace. I've written about the cheeky Canadian-born fashion chappie before when his line of 'Scandal' t-shirts were making news, but now he's expanding his cult range and it's as stylishly hilarious as ever. He even has his own webstore now too.

I love shoes. Shoes don't care how much Quality Street you ate over Christmas, the straps won't strain after a big dinner and they are so much easier than clothes to shop for as the sizes tend to be pretty standard across brands, with far less variation than you find...

My poor face has had a tough time of it recently - snow, sleet, wind, rain, medication that seems to remove all moisture from my cheeks, plus long haul travel. Add in a dose of the flu and it all adds up to one dreary, grey complexion with patches as...

If any of you still have the unenviable task of buying Christmas presents left to check off your seasonal to do list, this little gift guide might well come in handy.

In reality it's just a bunch of totally awesome stuff that I would love to find under my...

I feel the need, the need for SXC. Or more specifically, the Denham x Space Exploration Corporation (SXC) collaboration which sees Denham the Dutch jeanmaker fuse classic Top Gun style with astronautical garment technology to make up the Training Kit collection which will be used...
