Molton Brown celebrates 40 years with a collaboration with Giles Deacon
On St George’s Day, it seems only good and proper to celebrate the 40th birthday of an iconic British Brand. Luxury bath and beauty brand Molton Brown is, unbelievably celebrating its Ruby Anniversary this year, and in honour of this, they have collaborated with designer Giles Deacon to create a limited edition snuff lid for its amazing range of candles.

Holly Willoughby for Very.
I love Holly Willoughby. She’s a gorgeous lady who I personally think always comes across well on the TV. Warm and compassionate on This Morning, funny and with a great sense of fun on Celebrity Juice, she always seems like the kind of girl you’d be happy to drink cocktails and gossip with. And then of course, she’s ultra interested in fashion. Holly has recently launched her latest collection for Very, a range that she is happy to wear as part of her own wardrobe. And I can see why she would be happy to do that – it is just full of pretty, retro inspired designs that are crafted…

Springtime – The perfect time for Home Improvements
As regular readers of the Fashion-Mommy blog know, my son Joe is now 4 years old. And after a couple of years when he seemed hellbent on wrecking every area of the house, he has now calmed down.

And that means I think the time has come to make a start on some of the home improvements we had been putting off until Joe was a little older.

The Maxi dress – showing no signs of disappearing
The maxi dress was a fashion relic from the early hippy-dippy 70s that made a surprising re-appearance a few years ago, mainly off the coat-tails of the Boho revival. No-one really expected it to stick around, it was another Summer trend, a flash in the pan. Here today, gone tomorrow. But we were all proved very wrong. The Maxi dress proved to have a staying power that has made it a style classic. It is now a total staple of your summer wardrobe, perfect for packing in your holiday suitcase, providing you with an item that can switch between covering up your swimming costume apres swim, to providing evening glamour…

Happy Birthday Zatchels
One of my favourite British brands is celebrating its 2nd Birthday. Zatchels, the brand which has taken the humble, traditional satchel and has given it colour, style and personality in spades, is this weekend celebrating a true British success story. With celebrity fans ranging from Jessie J, Millie Mackintosh and Alex Jones, and with collaborations with Where’s Wally and Hello Kitty, Zatchels has shown that high quality bags can also be a whole lot of fun. I am the proud owner of 4 Zatchel bags, 2 barrel bags which make great evening bags – just big enough for cash, keys and lipsticks, a gorgeous apple green saddle bag which was…
