Bvlgari

Massimo Dutti strappy sandals are more than chic.

Fashion Pretty Pastels

1. Pastels are a delicate shade, which means they need a delicate approach when it comes to styling. For footwear, look for pale court shoes or simple sandals. Shoe boots and overly-fussy heels will detract from your ensemble.

2. A thin waist-belt in a complementary shade is a nice addition, but try to keep it pattern-free and make sure it doesn’t destroy the line of your top or dress.

3. In the spirit of librarian-chic, cashmere cardigans, twin-sets and short-sleeved pullovers have suddenly crossed the fashion divide between naff and nice. Wear them while you can!

So voraciously have we been lusting after the brights that we’ve begun to wholly neglect the paler colour palette. Well, now is your opportunity to redress the balance.

Making use of the pastel spectrum has to have been the trend of the Spring/Summer runways. Everyone from Miu Miu to Calvin Klein, Lanvin to Tommy Hilfiger made pastels a feature of their collection.

Whether it was matching twin-sets, fifties-inspired shift dresses or something a little bit more avant-garde, a huge variety of pastel looks made their way down the runway.

Here in the Woman This Month office, we have been cooing over the Phillip Lim collection — he has given a fantastically upbeat twist to last year’s minimalism.

So, forget the colour clashes, ignore the crazy prints and head straight for something icy and pale. You don’t always have to make a loud statement in order to stand out.

he key to producing a good magazine, it would seem, is seeking out the right people for the job. However, with so many young guns jostling to get a foot in the door, it’s no wonder that sifting out the good from the mediocre is becoming increasingly difficult. There are s ome unb elievably brilliant fledg-ling journalists out there who are being overlooked, on account of the flooded market and the “it’s who you know” aspect of the industry. During an age in which every man, woman, child and chihuahua has a blog and Twitter account, it’s hard to dream up new ways to get noticed. I wouldn’t posit myself among ranks of the “unbelievably brilliant” – arrogance like that is as unattractive as it is unjustifiable, but I do reckon I’ve got a few things to offer. I have a history of biting off more than people think I can chew and then inspiring them to believe differently. Notably, I became one of the youngest women to assume the role of Editor for the University of Edinburgh’s magazine. I saw it go from boring Students’ Association mouthpiece, to something thought provoking, interesting and worthy of being shortlisted in the ‘Best Magazine’ category at the Guardian Student Media awards. Recently, I moved to the Middle East, to take over as Editor-in-Chief of Bahrain’s most presti-gious women’s glossy. As far as being thrown in at

the deep end goes, you don’t get much deeper than find-ing yourself, at 23, running a national publication with a high circulation, managing a team of people largely older and more experienced than you and negotiating women’s rights in an overwhelmingly patriarchal society. Oh, and there was the small matter of

the Arab Spring which erupted a month after I took the position. Dodging the odd petrol bomb added an extra challenge to an already demanding job. Though still relatively young, at 26, I’ve tried my hand in many of the major journalism sectors – from the Red Tops to the news agencies, from fashion direction to philosophy. In the last year, I have even set up my own online politics and lifestyle website for men - XWHY - which I run with my best friend Mike. It has become increasingly obvious that my strengths lie in the world of magazines and supple-ments. I relish interview situations, enjoy delving into anything cultural, trending or pseudo-politi-cal and have a flair for comment, humour and tone. Acerbity is a British journalist’s calling card, after all. Beyond all of the above, though, I understand the constant pressure to find new ways of encouraging people to sit up and take note. Hopefully this miniature magazine will go some way to doing that.

STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW...Experience, Education and Extras

Making iT in The Middle easT

Woman this Month has a reader-ship upwards of 40,000. As well as commissioning, editing, interviewing, writing and acting as design consultant, I also managed a string of events, started a Twitter campaign and launched affiliate fashion and feminism blogs.

laTesT VenTureXWHY is, ostensibly, an online men’s magazine. We cover news, politics, fashion, cutlure,

design, music and more, but our real aim is to circumvent the pigeonholing of male interests, ideologies and sexuali-ties. XWHY is not a “lad’s” mag.

an auThorCommissioned by Visual Aid publishers, I wrote a

book, entitled 100 Lessons on Style in 100 Words or Less. The book is available to buy on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBookstore, Smashwords and Kobo.

FreelanceBesides XWHY, my recent work has been published in a number of national and

international publications, inlcuding Stylist, The Daily Mail, Some Think Blue, Women Talking, Peacexpeace.org.

on The FronT lineUnder the esteemed Tom Hendry – ex News Editor of the Daily Mirror, Sunday

Express and Mail on Sunday – I worked as a Junior Features Writer at INS News Agency. Tracking down features relating

to breaking news was fast-paced, nerve-wracking at times, but mainly lots of fun.

Top of the Red TopsThe Sun newspaper opened

the door for me into the world of national-scale journalism. Seeing something in my writing, they pulled me straight from Universi-ty. Forming part of the Sun Woman team, I worked with some remark-able women, many of whom I still count as friends and mentors.

The Stats I hold a first class MAHons

from Edinburgh University. And if you really want to put too fine a point on it, I also have 4 As at A-Level and 10 A*s at GCSE.

It’s All in the Know-HowEvery Joe on the corner

fancies himself a writer. Some are brilliant, some mediocre and some couldn’t even sign for a package. But for even the best of the bunch, writ-ing itself is often not enough. It is essential to underpin one talent with a few others. I have a grasp of InDe-sign, Photoshop, a range of content management systems. If it helps, I also speak French, hold a Canadian Ski Instructor’s Alliance qualification and make a mean margarita…

s an even better woman. In fact, behind every great woman you will usually find a

bevy of fantastic and supportive female friends.

Female friendships are often dismissed as petty, jealousy-driven, political or superficial.

It is true that we sometimes spend too long worrying about how someone did us wrong,

rather than enjoying what they bring to the table. Now and then, though, it is crucially

important to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Personally, I feel that

without all the fantastic, brave, strong, steadfast and loyal women in my life I would be

seriously missing out. A woman’s capacity for empathy, passion and selflessness are

astounding and should be rewarded and recognised far more frequently, especially by

the other women in her life.

This month, there are two exceptionally good reasons to celebrate women. Firstly, it is

International Women’s Day on March 8. Although it is still not globally recognised, this

commemorative day has been steadily gaining momentum. If you ask me, there aren’t

enough days in the year to laud the brilliant achievements that women have made over

the last couple of centuries, but if we are only getting 24 hours out of the calendar, we

need to be sure to make a real song and dance out of them.

Secondly, it is Mothering Sunday on March 18. Our mums brought us in to the world;

they dedicated their lives to putting us first and all too often they go sadly unappreciated.

This year, I urge you to make an extra effort to spend at least this one day putting her

above all others.

Inside the magazine this month you will find some great women-related features,

including: ways to get close to your mother-in-law, teenage girl bonding exercises and

women's efforts at global campaigning and peacebuilding.

Enjoy!

1. If it’s an evening dress

with metal

embellishments that you

have selected, you can be

as feminine with your

tresses as you’d like. Just

be sure not to cover any

of the dress’s detailing.

2. Metallic trousers will go

with almost anything. Elle

Macpherson even wore

them with a jumper on the

school run! Wear them

with a sheer blouse to a

work event or throw on a

corset top for an evening

on the town.

3. Heels are a must; unless

you are incorporating

some metallic into your

sports luxe look — in that

case you need a fancy

pair of high-top trainers.

Why would you swan about in a

normal dress at a cocktail party

when you could turn up looking

like a designer bullet? We adore

this trend for its crazy blend of

elegance and futurism.

Full length gowns with metallic

corsets, chiffon tops paired with

metallic PVC trousers, helmets as

accessories. — It’s a mad

juxtaposition, but for some reason it

really works. Nearly all of the looks

that we’ve seen for this trend have

been strikingly feminine.

Silver, gold and copper are

obviously the main players on the

colour spectrum for this trend, but

some designers, such as

Christopher Kane, have jazzed up

their looks by turning unexpected

hues into metallics.

As well as metallic leathers and

plastics, you will also notice

sequins and glitters appearing,

adding a bit of shimmer and dazzle

to the looks.

innovator. Since her workmates, publisher and I hold her in the highest esteem, I recommend her as an outstanding candidate

for a top editorial post. We will miss her.” Paul J. Balles, Ph.D., Editorial Consultant, Woman This Month
