Tie Dye For

Who'd have ever thought the hippie earth mother favourite that is tie dye could take you from boardroom to beach to bar? I certainly didn't - until now...

When I was at Sixth Form the Young Enterprise club came up with the idea of selling tie dye t-shirts in a bid to raise funds for the yearbook and prom - sadly I don't think they actually sold any (although feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). The thing is tie dye has always had a slightly bad rep, only really appealing to surf dudes and hippies, but with this whole 90s revival going on at the moment it's currently riding on the crest of a wave.

Celeb swimwear favourite, Vix have a tie dye bikini that will earn you serious style points on the beach this summer, whilst Boy by Band of Outsiders have taken the somewhat surprising step of unleashing tie dye on to tailoring - but somehow it works.

Of course the high street is flooded with more affordable options, and I love the ASOS Cold Shoulder dress, £28 (pictured above left). It also comes in Curve and Maternity styles, so it looks like there really could be a tie dye option for everyone.

Made In Chelsea




I am totally addicted to Made In Chelsea. The hit reality show, which follows the lives and loves of a group of twenty-somethings in SW1, is always compelling viewing - full of glamorous balls, bitching and bed-hopping.

Whether sunning themselves in the South of France, shooting clay pigeons at an English country house party, or shopping on the King's Road, the MiC girls are always impeccably dressed.

I love Caggie's ecclectic style, which brings a touch of boho to Sloane Square. Austique, a favourite haunt of Chelsea girls, were inundated with requests for the tangerine mini dress she wore in Cannes towards the end of the first series. If you want to know where else you can get the looks seen in MiC, Caggie and Millie have also been seen buying bikinis in Biondi Couture, the swimwear emporium boasting the biggest selection of designer swimwear - including the incredibly sort after VIX range.

Since then we've seen Binky and Cheska doing a spot of shoe shopping at The Box Boutique, where you'll find fabulous footwear by the likes of Mechante, Beatrix Ong and Ruthie Davis, all displayed to perfection in the eccentric neo-Baroque surroundings.

Time for a West End shopping spree I think...
