The Christmas adverts are always an exciting reminder that ‘Holidays are coming.’ One of my absolute favourites this season, apart from the obvious John Lewis tear-jerker, is the beautiful ad for Matalan.

Pippa – still winning in the wardrobe stakes…and some off-duty Kate too!
From skating at Somerset House to her daily walks to work, Pippa never looks anything less than chic. And with the darker days and the colder temps, Pippa is providing a daily masterclass in how to look cosy without needing to bulk up those layers. Here are a few of my latest looks from Kate’s little sister. Pippa looked great as she enjoyed the ice at Somerset House earlier this week.

Are you ready to experience Browns Bar and Brasserie?
With the opening of Spiceal Street this Thursday, Birmingham is about to become a real destination when it comes to good food. And Fashion-Mommy was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of what you can expect when I was invited to a pre-opener taste testing session at one of the new restaurants, Browns Brasserie. Serving a mixture of classic and modern dishes, platters-to-share, pasta, salads, sides and puddings. Browns truly offers something for every taste. The wine list is good, and whilst I was desperate to sample the Bellini’s, my husband was overjoyed to see Peroni on draught. The decor is smartly sophisticated with a mixture of high and…

Treat yourself – Up to 40% off Mary Portas at House of Fraser.
If, like me, you were intrigued by the Mary, Queen of Frocks programme, were dying to try the new range, but found it just a little on the pricey side, then all your Christmas’s may be coming at once. House of Fraser currently have discounts of up to 40% on selected lines, and this includes many of the lustworthy dresses I have been browsing the collection for my top three pieces and did find it difficult to narrow my shopping list down.
