Carphone Warehouse invites you to play ‘Snake Retro’ to win prizes
If you are of a certain age and you think back to your first mobile phone, the chances are you used to get very excited about playing ‘Snake’. Yes, you remember it, it was the one where the snake (really a bendy graphic line that looked absolutely nothing like a snake if we’re being honest) was moved around the phone screen in order to eat things, a game that really exercised those fingers. Well now the Carphone Warehouse has updated Snake, making it smarter, brighter, sassier and fit for modern technology, and you can now win some very special prizes just for playing. Now entitled ‘Snake Retro’, the new version…

Celebrity Get the Look featuring Lucy Watson, Kelly Brook and Samantha Barks
Summer is finally here, and I sit here writing this and nursing my sunburn. So thank goodness there are so many fabulous celebrity looks to take my mind off my rather sore shoulders. For the celebrity spots this week are rather gorgeous to say the least. We have a little bit of Reiss in the form of new style crush Samantha Barks, who seems to be showing true style credentials with brilliant look after brilliant look. Kelly Brook shows that no-one can wear a form fitting dress like she can, showcasing that body in a stunning lace paneled dress, also from Reiss. We also have the perfect pair of summer…

As regular readers of Fashion-mommy know, I am a huge fan of recycling and upcycling goods, I avidly sort out my rubbish, my wardrobe is regularly culled and unwanted stuff given to Charity Shops, and I am forever filling charity bags that land on my doorstep. But Website Music Magpie may well change the way I look at recycling in that you can actually make money from all manner of things that you may previously have given away, from old clothing to DVDs, from games and consoles to recycling your old mobile phone.…

Eternally Yours – the Wedding Ring
The exchange of wedding rings as a sign of the marriage union has been practised for thousands of years. Among the earliest indications of the custom can be found in Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that depict the wearing of wedding rings, but it is impossible to be certain when or where the practice really originated. The ring is highly symbolic. Today it represents eternal love and commitment but in ancient cultures the meaning was much deeper. The ring was a symbol of eternity and reflected the constancy of the motion of the heavens and the never-ending cycle of the seasons. The ring also represented the passage of the sun and moon…

Summer dress inspiration from Angelina Jolie, Madame X and Mango
When it comes to Summer dressing, black is the new white. Black is not always first choice for summer dresses, pretty much every colour will come in front of it in our mental lists, but I think this is a mistake. Black is always chic, looks great against a suntan, covers all manner of evils when you’re having those not-so-perfect days bodywise, and is basically a classic choice, even (or maybe especially) in summer. This summer, with summer balls and prom season almost upon us, I think we should take inspiration for our dresses from two major sources. First up is Madame X, as painted by John Singer Sargent.
