March heralds not only International Women’s Day on the 8th but also Mother’s Day on 31st. OX favourite, Bianca Elgar, has created a new campaign in celebration of all the women in our lives: strong, independent, funny, wise and beautiful. It’s currently showing on Bianca’s website and social media and features three generations of Oxford residents. 

March marks International Women’s Day and is also the month in which the Literary Festival transforms our city into a veritable salon of word and thought. Who better to channel than one of the few truly iconic writers, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie? Feminist, writer and lover of makeup.

When the opportunity came to be styled at the retail cathedral that is John Lewis, I was all a flutter. I might as well have been asked to commentate a football match in Elvish. Will they take one look at me, choke on their espresso martinis and nonchalantly escort me to the escalator? Toby Hambly gets a personal styling with John Lewis.
