Disney brings it’s Magic to Birmingham
As a fashion blogger, I get invited to all sorts of fabulous events, but it is rare that I am invited to take my family. So it was a really special occasion this week when I was invited to attend the VIP opening of Disney Live at Birmingham NIA, and was also asked if I would like to bring the family along too. I didn’t need to be asked twice – I knew my Donald Duck fanatic Joe, and my Disney Princess niece Lia would just adore the event. The afternoon started with a special pre-show reception. The children were delighted to be given a Mickey Mouse figure each, and…

Matalan Christmas in July Press day
I’m a huge fan of Matalan. I always find really great, fashion forward items there without needing to break the bank. So I was really pleased to receive an invite to their Christmas in July press day, being held in the cool surroundings of The Hospital Club, London. It’s hard to know where exactly to start in describing how good this collection is. Basically, it has all your needs for the Christmas party season sorted, whatever your style may be. From the perfect pencil skirt/peplum dress, to beautiful boho grunge styled evening wear in the form of skinnies teamed with floaty capes, there is something for everyone. There are nods…

An interview with Hayley Sparkes – Beauty Presenter and Super Stylist
If you have been watching TV this summer, you can’t fail to be aware of the work of Hayley Sparkes. From performing make-over miracles on This Morning, to choosing the most perfect dresses for the beautiful contestants on Chanel five’s The Bachelor, Hayley is a fashion whirlwind who also combines serious talents in the PR department through her role as Director of Gorgeous Star PR. I met Hayley last year at a fab launch she had organised and I can honestly say she is as lovely, as she appears on the TV – warm, down to earth and friendly. And when I asked Hayley if she would be happy to…

TOWIE and MADE IN CHELSEA style spots
With The Only Way is Essex returning to our screen last weekend, and with the Made in Chelsea girls having a fairly stellar summer of style, you will be finding it difficult to escape the likes of Cheska, Binky, Billie, Sam and Lydia at the moment. But that’s not all bad news as the girls are currently showcasing a range of fashionable looks that happen to be both stylish and affordable. From pretty dresses to chunky jumpers, these are looks that transcend the changeable weather (really hot today, tomorrow – who knows…), with a range of dresses that could grace any holiday wardrobe. My favourite outfit is the gorgeous paisley…

Sainsburys Christmas in July
Last Thursday, on a rather hot, stuffy day in London, I was strangely transported to a different time, a time we know and love as CHRISTMAS! Yes, the Christmas in July events were in full throttle, but due to actually try to enjoy summer I hadn’t been to any of them this year. But all this changed as I got that festive feeling – starting with a stunning event organised by Sainsburys. Held in the totally beautiful surroundings of Il Bottaccio, Grovesnor Place, Sainsburys introduced us to a real Winter Wonderland, a showcase for everything seasonal, from party wear to gifts, food to flowers, beauty products to Prosecco. There was…
