Style Cubed - Cat Cubie

Style Cubed

She loves shopping - clothes, shoes, handbags... even the indent you get on your hand from carrying too many hangers to the changing room. And while she knows her PPQ from her Primark, that doesn't mean she can afford it. This is TV presenter Cat Cubie's irreverent and entertaining insight to the world of fashion...

2011's all white

I like to think that the night of New Year's Eve is a reflection of how the following months will pan out. Not everyone loves Hogmannay, so I realise that this is perhaps a personal myth. However, if we take that idea and run with it, many of us had a white and snow-covered start to the year...

My fashion photo files

I’m not a big one for resolutions. I think it comes from being a rebellious teenager; anything that sounds vaguely like a rule is something I want to break! However, it’s a new year and rather than detoxing my body this January, I have resolved to de-clutter my life. An early spring...

Sale away with me

Happy New Year dearest readers! I hope Santa filled your stockings and you had a debauched New Year or - as us Scots say - Hogmannay. I love Christmas. I love the festive joie de vivre, the sparkly lights, the carols and I love, love, love Christmas pudding. However, almost above everything else, I...

Collared

I feel like I’ve been harping on about sheer shirts, so it seems only right for me to finally write about this trend. Last year we did the boyfriend and ‘oh so comfy’ flannel but, as you’ll probably have noticed, this year fashion got frumpy. In A/W 2010 the only way to wear...

Present times

Where on earth has this year gone? I can’t believe it’s only two and a half weeks until Christmas already! The snow has definitely helped to put me in the mood (and a few cheeky mulled wines) but it goes without saying that my shopping is way behind schedule. Ok, I know this isn’t...

Farmer fashion

Most people (well, around 12 million) have now probably seen the Yeo Valley advert cleverly sandwiched each week in the first ad break of The X-Factor, aside from it being genius advertising, it also milks (sorry) this winter's new crop (I just can't help myself...) of Farmer Fashion. When...

Lace me up, Scotty!

I know what you're thinking, 'Lace isn't new, love, it's been around forever... even my Granny likes lace'. That's the thing with trends though, it's not the content that's new it's what you do with it that counts. Lace has, indeed, been kicking around for a...

Get nude!

A few years ago, going nude was not something I ever really thought about doing; well, apart from once when I was really broke and I saw an exquisitely expensive vintage dress... and I have to say, I was tempted... Don't worry Mum; I'm not contemplating getting my kit off; I'm...

Fur sure

So the cold has well and truly descended, A/W fashion is in full supply - the shops are wrapped in winter coats and woolly hats. And fur. Lots of fur. Not of the real variety, of course, unless you are spectacularly brave and have a bank balance with more body than your stole.This trend is hardly a...

Camel couture

I keep hearing that Camel is the new black. It's almost as though all the big designers got together over a skinny, extra tall, double shot latte and thought 'mmmm, let's re-name beige 'Camel' and everyone will just LOVE it!' In the past, when talking fashion, the word 'camel' didn't tend to have...
