Press Review – The Pirates! In an adventure with Scientists!
Last Thursday I was invited to get my ‘swash’ and ‘buckle’ on with the chance to preview a brand new, and very special exhibition that is invading Birmingham’s ThinkTank this summer. A part of the Thinktank museum has been transformed into the world of ‘The Pirates’, the Academy Award nominated film from Sony Pictures and Aardman Animations, and I was lucky enough to get a peek at what was happening behind the scenes, before the exhibition actually opened. I was very excited by this, but not being an expert on all things ‘Pirate’, I thought it best to call on an expert I know very well, so I also took…

Pyschobitches, Kylie and Jessa – Reasons to Switch to Sky this Summer
I’ve recently switched my internet provider to Sky Broadband. It seemed to make perfect sense to have my satellite TV, telephone calls and internet from one combined source, and Sky was the best option for my family, especially with the Sky+ element, and my husband’s love of HD channels. Although I had always used Freeview in the past, the Broadband bundles currently offered by Sky , which include unlimited Broadband (perfect for a blogger of course), the Sky TV entertainment package that includes Sky Atlantic, and a free Sky HD box, mean that I have a package that both addresses my working needs in the form of reliable and fast…

Kate Middleton tackles Maternity Dressing with Summer Coats
It might just be me, but I think that Kate Middleton has been looking to fashion icons of the past as she moves further into her pregnancy. Her recent passion for shorter length, pastel coloured coats have me thinking back to the early days of Camelot and Jackie Kennedy, a lady who also favoured pastel shades and collarless boxy coats and jackets. Kate couldn’t have chosen a better icon to channel. I think her recent looks, the Tara Jarmon peach coat and dress, and the Emilia Wickstead primrose yellow coat worn the the Buckingham Palace garden party just this week, have been fresh, young and pretty, following on from the…

Friday Shopping Special – Wallis
The Friday shopping special this week is all about Wallis. One of my fave High Street brands who create a lot of the clothes I wear in my own life, Wallis always embraces a range of style, colour and design classics in its ranges. This season there is a great emphasis on bright and tropical splashes of summer, so needed when the weather doesn’t seem to have received the memo, but there are also great pieces of classic tailoring, jackets that would serve you from season to season, and an amazing array of accessories that can lift and update your wardrobe in a second. Today Wallis is offering up to…

New Look Press Day
New Look are one of the most popular and consistent of all high street retailers, producing collection after collection of great clothes, and accessories ranges that now, in my opinion, rival anything that the High Street (and some designer collections) have to offer. The recent New Look press day was an eclectic mixture of glorious jewellery, accessories that belied their High Street roots, and a clothing collection that was more dressed down than dressed up, and showed influences that ranged from Debbie Harry and punk, to Vivienne Westwood and pearlie kings and queens. There was much to admire and enjoy. Jewellery The statement necklace has is something that New Look…
