Get Kate-tastic Inspiration from Dorothy Perkins
I just adore the Duchess of Cambridge’s personal style. I don’t really care that Alexa Chung beat her to British Style Icon at the Fashion awards, or that Vivienne Westwood isn’t that impressed with her choices, I think she is an immaculate style inspiration who understands that fine art of dressing like a lady. Kate watchers amongst you can’t help but notice that Kate is also proving a style information for the High Street too. Ladylike dresses with neat clean lines are everywhere, and non more so than at Dorothy Perkins. Just look at some of the Duchess inspired dresses I found whilst trawling their website. Then pop along yourself…

Be like Slade and enjoy a very Seventies Christmas
I’m a child of the 1970s, and love everything about the decade that some say style forgot. Platform shoes, flares, halter neck maxi dresses and glam rock are all cherished by Fashion-Mommy. And in terms of Christmas, was it ever celebrated better than in the 70s.Think about it, you could watch Christmas Top of the Pops in 1973 whilst dance away to the sounds of Slade, Wizzard and Elton John ‘Stepping into Christmas’, then enjoy the Morecambe and Wise Christmas special whilst enjoying a snowball and a selection of vol-u-vents and other delights from the hostess trolley. What’s not to love? This Christmas you can channel the best of 70s…

Clothes Show Live – shopping,celebs…and more shopping!
I had my first experience of the Clothes Show Live last week, and I have to say I was quite impressed! Held each December in Birmingham’s LG Arena, the show attracts a mainly female audience who are attracted by the prospect of major shopping bargains from top brands and cult labels, beauty bargains to die for, and cute celebrity men..both models and mere mortals. They were not to be disappointed on any count. In terms of shopping, there are beauty bargains galore. From Illamasqua selling their fantastic mascaras two for five pounds (yes I did say £5!),great goodie bags from Jelly Pong Pong, Bourjois and Rimmel for less than £10,…

Curvissa – beautiful dressing for those curves
Curvissa is an Aladdin’s cave of a website full of the most exquisite of dresses for those of us blessed with curves. I recently discovered this site whilst looking for a party dress and was seriously impressed by the choice and variation in styles. These are dresses that totally accentuate fuller figures rather than trying to shroud them. And instead of the slimming ‘black’, we are blessed with dresses that show style, colour and elegance. There are Grecian style gowns, figure hugging sexy numbers and flirty prom styles..basically something for every taste. And these dresses come in sizes from 14-32. Here are some of my favourites from an extensive range.…

She’s golden and she’s green…
Golden Green..title of one of my favourite songs (by The Wonderstuff if you’re wondering…) and also one of my favourite colours. Green is probably the most versatile colours around. Think about it..perfect at Christmas time, where you will colour co-ordinate the tree perfectly. Great in pale and citrus shades in the Summer, and set to be a massive colour in S/S 2012. Bottle green is great for Autumn, and then there are the fantastic jewel shades of jade and teal that look amazing as evening wear and daywear. Next have some amazing pieces from their latest collection in all shades of green. From fabulous dresses to great peg leg trousers,…
