Harvey Nichols Birmingham unveils nostalgic windows
In these days when we seem to be loosing so much of our High Street Heritage, many of us are wallowing in the nostalgia of the Golden Age of the High street and the birth of the department store. We’ve seen the BBC series The Paradise and ITV’s Mr Selfridge, each gaining viewers enthralled by the beauty of the Department stores. And now, the iconic Harvey Nichols store based in Birmingham’s Mailbox has again unveiled a jaw dropping display of window dressing, transforming the facade of the store into a beautiful row of 1950s shop fronts.

Orla Kiely stoles back in stock at Uniqlo
It was one of the most sort after collections on the High Street last year, and the great news is that Uniqlo’s fab Orla Kiely scarves are now back in stock…at least they are for now.

The Irish-born designer already has a huge following, with the Duchess of Cambridge and Pippa Middleton amongst her fans, and yet Uniqlo was able to offer the fantastic style and prints at amazing High Street prices. The stoles were amongst the most popular items, proving perfect…

Wonderful Wednesday Shopping from Boden
It’s almost the end of the month, and for many of you I bet that month has seemed a really long one, the lull that comes after the Christmas period. But the end of the month is now near, and that means PAYDAY. If you are looking for a treat, a wardrobe update, or even a complete style overhaul, you need to pay a visit to the Boden site. Full of colour and spice, the latest Boden range is one of the best new season collections to hit the High Street this season. Truly offering something for everyone, in every colour of the rainbow, I am seriously impressed by this…
