Mischa Barton Kicks Off the Harrods Summer Sale in Style

Living in London, I find that my city's people -- a generally unenthusiastic bunch -- occasionally make a big fuss over things we Americans take for granted. Most recently: deep discounts and Mischa Barton. (Seriously, she is so big here, she even has her own collection of handbags, in addition to her line of headbands.)

So it's fitting that The Harrods summer sale (or more accurately, Harrods' only sale of the year) was opened by the British-born/American-bred actress, who cut the red ribbon and rode around in Harrods' horse-drawn carriage to get the crowds pumped for the iconic store's hotly anticipated shopping event. (It's big: Lanvin dresses are 50 percent off.)

Bauer Media to Suspend Publication of Arena

Posted Mar 4th 2009 at 5:00PM by Tiffany Neal

Filed under: Style in the News

lily cole covers arena magazineIt appears another magazine has fallen victim to the global recession.

While Mauer Media doesn't explicity state in its press release that it's closing down British men's style magazine Arena indefinitely, we have no idea what else to interpret from the phrase "suspending publication." Not to mention the company has announced it will help the tome's 12 staff members find other jobs within the company.

Emma Thompson - Overcoat StyleFoul!

Posted Oct 7th 2008 at 6:55PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Celebrity Fashion Mistakes


Oh, it hurts us to do this. It really does. We love Emma Thompson -- she's on our list of people we'd have lunch with if we could have lunch with anyone in the world. She's talented and funny and beautiful. And, unfortunately, at the UK premiere of Brideshead Revisted, she was badly dressed in a shapeless, shiny coat.

Claire Goose - From Red Carpet to Your Closet

Posted Oct 7th 2008 at 10:06AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Red Carpet Trends, Get the Look


Let us answer your first question -- Claire Goose is a British actress who has a really fun sense of fashion. She hasn't hit a ton of red carpet events, but she's nailed about 85 percent of the ones she's attended (and even when we're not digging what she's wearing, it's not awful. It's just not what we would've picked). And, if your second question is, "How do I get that look?" you're in luck -- we've got it all spelled out for you in the gallery!

Wallace and Gromit - Britain's newest spokesmodels

Posted Aug 29th 2008 at 11:08AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


Celebrity spokesmodels have long been used to help stores and brands gain recognition and fans. Normally, the celebrities are people we want to emulate, like Kate Moss or Angelina Jolie. However, British department store Harvey Nichols is trying a slightly different type of model -- specifically, the claymation duo Wallace and Gromit.

Princess Anne's thrifty wardrobe

Princess Anne
Well, perhaps Jennifer Lopez' babies can't wear the same outfit twice, but Princess Anne isn't above it. On several occasions, the Princess has worn an outfit on separate occasions. In fact, she did so just this weekend.

She first wore a Maureen Baker white and yellow dress 27 years ago to the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, and wore it again this Saturday to Lady Rose Windsor's nuptials, complete with the same yellow flowered hat.

From Red Carpet to Your Closet: Cat Deeley at the American Idol finale

Posted Jul 1st 2008 at 9:07AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Get the Look


We happily admit to a So You Think You Can Dance addiction, partly due to the amazing dancing, but also because we're always dying to know what host Cat Deeley will be wearing. She's at least eight feet tall, and quite thin, so obviously, she can wear just about anything. Still, she occasionally chooses outfits that make us wonder if maybe British fashion is like the British sense of humor -- rather different than American, but enjoyable once you "get it."

This outfit from the American Idol finale is something that we absolutely, completely get. True, it works for her largely because of her height and slim build, but it's one of our favorite jumpsuits this year, and even if you don't get it as a jumpsuit, this is a look that you could absolutely rock at a party. Check out the gallery to see how.

Gola means goals: Score some with your feet

Posted Jun 24th 2008 at 4:03PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Vintage and Retro, Men, Kids and Babies


Gola brand shoes have been popular in the United Kingdom for over one hundred years. Yes, 100 years. Anything that can stay in style that long has got to have something going for it.

It is believed that the name is Gola is an anagram of 'goal,' which led to their first ad campaign "Gola means Goals" which you may have noticed sitting totally stolen in homage atop this post (followed by some lame attempt at a football tie-in, but what do we know, we call it soccer).

Boden and their boy shirts

Posted Jun 2nd 2008 at 8:36PM by Whit Honea

Filed under: Clothing, Kids and Babies


Here at Styledash we wax poetic about t-shirts on a regular basis. What can we say, we love t-shirts and we write a mean limerick.

Generally, we tend to stick to shirts that are made for adults. In that area we are equal parts fun and artsy. One might even say that we are well balanced. We doubt it, but someone might say something like that.

The question arises, if adults are wearing all the great t-shirts, what are the kids left to wear? We looked into it, and we have an answer.
