Reviewed – John Rocha mirror printed prom dress for Debenhams
January has been a time to try to shake off all those Christmas calories, and I have been trying numerous ways to do this. From lots of brisk walks during the school run, which seems to be getting longer and more arduous during this spell of bad weather, to considering the benefits of XLS Medical as an aid to weight loss, I’ve been trying all sorts of ways to shift some of those extra pounds. And it seems to have worked, I’ve already dropped a dress size in just a few weeks, something I’m quite proud of. So, when I was offered the chance to choose a Debenhams dress as…

Rosamund Pike shines for LK Bennett
That very beautiful English Rose, actress Rosamund Pike, has become the face of LK Bennett, and I think she is just the perfect choice. LK Bennett is full of classic, stylish and elegant pieces, and there is no doubt all those words could also be used to describe the actress who has been able to show versatility in a career that has taken her from being a Bond girl (Die another Day), to period drama (a wonderfully romantic Jane Bennett in Joe Wright’s Sense and Sensibility), and the both tragic and comic Helen in one of my favourite films – ‘An Education’. The new LK Bennett collection is all about…

Classic black and white never really goes out of style, does it. Think of Julia Roberts collecting her Oscar in Vintage Valentino, or Audrey Hepburn wearing Givenchy in Sabrina and you see the images of women looking classic and elegant in that most complimentary of colour combinations. Just this week, Julianne Moore wowed at the Golden Globes in her Tom Ford monochrome gown, whilst Frieda Pinto showed that black and white can also be fun and flirty at the LA Bafta’s tea party. Black and white are the combination you can turn to when you want to make sure you have everything just right, it will never fail you. High…

Accessorize – Hot picks for cold days
My gggggoooodddness it’s cold! (That was my teeth chattering by the way). We are expecting all sorts of snow, blizzards and sub-zero temperatures in the next few days. It’s enough to make you want to hibernate for the rest of winter. But, fear not, it’s not all bad news, especially on the fashion front. Accessorize have so many products that are just perfect for the really cold weather in their appropriately named winter shop, these are the sort of accessories that are both cute (check out those earmuffs), and stylish (what could look more fabulous against a black coat than a leopard print brolly.) The Winter shop shows that cold…

Celebrity get the look featuring Kate Middleton, Jennifer Lawrence and Freida Pinto
After the excitement and high glamour of the Golden Globe awards, it’s time to look at some more celebrity looks that can be achieved by shopping the High Street. Some of the looks featured are my interpretations of great style, from Hollywood stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Amy Adams and Freida Pinto. Other looks are actually the real thing, to be found in store and online right now. First up is the Duchess of Cambridge. That painting that was unveiled last week sure is awful, but Kate’s French Connection blouse is anything but. Unfortunately, the sale item has almost sold out in every colour. However, there are a few left in…
