Victoria’s Secret’s apparently the most popular brand in many cities, according to a fashion site called ShopItToMe.com cited in the Wall Street Journal. Step into one of those chain stores, though, and you’ll find nary an organic item — though I hear a few seasons ago, Victoria’s Secret did debut an organic cotton line — that disappeared when that season ended.

I missed that short-lived line, but that’s because I do most of my shopping for underthings at Faerie’s Dance. These ruched Pants to Povery organic fair trade panties are some of my favorites from the store.

When the dress of silk faille and feathers still hadn’t arrived just days before her daughter’s bat mitzvah, Lesley Wolman called Savannah, the Santa Monica, Calif., boutique where she’d ordered the dress at a trunk show.

If you’re a fan of styling your hair, you are probably already familiar with the ghd brand. Popular with celebrities and salons, ghd straighteners are an expensive but worthwhile investment for your home as well. Having your own pair of ghds allows you to style your hair in a multitude of different ways from the comfort of your own bedroom, whilst at the same time minimising the damage that heat styling can cause. Other, cheaper tools can rise to dangerous temperatures without offering sufficient protection for your hair whilst styling it, while ghd straighteners utilise the latest in heat protection technology to keep your hair healthy and looking great.

Turns out, Amy Winehouse‘s posthumous back catalog contains more than just her musical contributions.

Last year, the late singer began collaborating with designer Fred Perry on a fashion line, with her debut collection hitting stores last fall. As it happens, Amy, who’s said to have been quite involved in the creation of her capsule collection, went through something of a prolific sartorial phase and in fact had banked enough designs to carry her namesake line through to a fall 2012 collection with the brand.

So what’s going to happen to her catwalk creations?

What is cool about discovering new shops is to consult their catalogue for the first time and dig it out to find good deals. Six Whiting Street, which has recently entered our shopping guide, is a shop located in the UK proposing brands such as Edwin, Folk, Gloverall, Heritage Research, Oliver Spencer to name but a few. I especially spotted this discounted cardigan from John Smedley. This is a basic, every one needs quality basics. A pale blue cardigan would just add your bow a new string, completing your wardrobe with a new colorway.
