TARTAN EXPLOSION

Ahhh sweet, ‘Street Style’ – where do I begin?? What an eclectic mix!! Most of my inspiration for outfit collections comes from the people I see in day-to-day life and fashion bloggers.

Cheltenham Literature Festival and Fashion mixing? No Way!!

Well you had better believe it. Yesterday the CFW team was invited to the launch of  Cheltenham Fashion Academy which will be run by Gloucestershire College.

(Knee) Sock it to Me

You can describe CrossFit fashion – which I shall refer to simply as CFF – in much the same way as you can a CrossFitter: well-made, attentive to detail, and normally rather attractive. CF’ers are a discerning bunch who understand the demands of the sport: quite rightly, we also want clothing that’s up to the […]
