"Cosy, Sexy, Cool! Damn, I wish I'd thought of that!" - Mr. Darkwah

Cosy? Sexy? Cool? I think it's all three, really...

Ladies, Winter has arrived and there's nothing worse than slipping on a pair of your favourite jeans and having them chafe your inner thighs and create static with your tights. Well, I'm told there's nothing worse than this... Being able to look good and feel comfortable should not be a trade-off - it's a necessity in everything we wear! I think I've found something you might just love!



Angels & Men was set up by Mellie Carroll and Jo Matthews, women who, I believe, got sick and tired of complaining about the discomfort caused by the jeans and tights combination. There is often the idea that anything innovative and relatively new sees a severe lacking aesthetically but practically, succeeds beyond everyone's expectations. Angels & Men's jeans are not a product that follow that rule. With the cleanest and most flattering cuts for women from size 8 up to 16 (yes, they also cover a good size range!), there is nothing that Mellie and Jo have left out!

The jeans utilise Fleecetec-Duothermolate in their lining to retain body heat in the colder parts of the year whilst remaining fully breathable for the hotter parts. All these jeans need to be able to do now is button themselves up and they're God's gift to womankind! The cuts of the jeans are perfect for the lean ladies but also have a good and deep enough seat for the woman with the more voluptuous posterior (hopefully I can write that without sounding inappropriate).


As a stylist, it's hard to find a pair of jeans for a client without them asking me if when they bend down, their "goods" will be on show. I can assure you, ladies, Angels & Men have seen to this problem! There is no room for the awkward moment when your son or daughter comes up to you and pulls down the back of your top because the small of your back and beginnings of... well, you know, are on display. These jeans are suitable for the mother, fashionista, student and the everyday Superwoman in and out of the city.

In case you don't believe me and you feel that this is too good to be true, keep your eyes on La Clique as we will have some of our readers test out the products themselves!

Happy Jeans for Genes day!

Ciao Belissimi!

"We are GETTING on that carousel!" - Mr. Darkwah

Glitz, glam, fashionistas and 'nistos united on Wednesday night to welcome Forever 21 to London! With a California beach theme, there was little left to be desired throughout the night. The event was held on New Oxford Street in the Old Sorting Office and the venue saw tipis, beach diving instalments and even a carousel to provide amusements for all guests. The drinks and burgers were served from the tipis and though I felt that this was a very nice touch, reminiscent of late-night beach parties, I did feel that it would have been more appropriate for the waiters to have walked around and served the burgers and drinks as it was quite a challenge to refresh oneself.


A good friend of mine told me that we are all children until the age of 35 or so but I'll have you know that those above that age who attended were children too! The ambiance was very relaxed and laid back with drinks flowing and much socializing, I could not have wished to have been anywhere else. The music, provided by Bip Ling and DJ Alex Wild was great and took us right through the decades from the 80's right the way down to what's hot now! I have not danced as hard as I did last night in a LONG time! Bravissimo to Bip and Alex Wild!


I'm sure you're wondering why my opening quote was "We are GETTING on that carousel!" Well, let me explain. It stems from another "Vogue" set of people I met last night. Lewis Taylor and his beautiful friends Maria and Grace Rose of 1883 Magazine were an absolute delight and added an extra sense of warmth to the already scorching room! Though the space was vast, the personalities in the room made the dancefloor the place to be and the number of air kisses and hugs I witnessed must have been enough to set a world record!


Thanks so much to Sarah Phillps and the Shine PR team for putting together a successful event!
Many thanks also, to the beautiful people I met and hope to be meeting again soon!


I hope you've had a good week!


Ciao Belissimi!
