Kudos to apparel catalogue Toast for featuring a model with a mane of grey hair in its Autumn catalogue. According to an article in the Observer in September, Toast is bang on trend. Apparently, women are increasingly seeing “natural grey as chic” and that “there’s a real shift in our perception of grey hair”; so three cheers for Toast for projecting a more natural body image.


In a project dubbed the “virtual collection tin”, secret-sales website BrandAlley has become the first major online retailer to take part in Cancer Research’s “Give Change Make Change” campaign. The initiative allows BrandAlley shoppers to round up their bill at the checkout, enabling them to donate their “spare change” to the four founding charities: British Red Cross, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, WWF and Cancer Research UK.
