Icon Of The Week: Grace Coddington
Last week, the Tongue in Chic team spent an entire working day conversing about how much we each love Grace Coddington. Which isn't really anything out of the norm, considering we breathe fashion every weekday. But a few days later, a friend who isn't particularly in the know told me she had recently watched The September Issue and wished she could be just like "that stylist". The same way any girl can watch a ballet movie and wish they were a dancer. This post is for that passion for fashion that Coddington ignites in all of us.

Trend Talk Tuesdays: Pattern on Pattern
The saying "less is more" is one that has undeniably been repeated over and over again in the fashion industry. Nude is in. Minimalism is the key idea to Spring 2010's trends. Leggings and t-shirts were ripped into shreds. Unfortunately as fickle and unpredictable that fashion can be, I'm afraid, ladies, let's talk now about how more is actually ... well ... more.
