Style Icons – Gwen Stefani
While Kate Middleton tackled Maternity style with chic this year, I don’t think I have ever seen a more glamorous mom-to-be than the utterly gorgeous Gwen Stefani. She had me in awe with her always red lips, glamorous heels and general glow that made her look like a total goddess. Quite simply, Gwen was a picture of perfection. I think I actually drooled over every picture of her that I saw. Gwen has shown that you can retain your signature style during pregnancy, still wearing skinny jeans, heeled boots and shoes, and those trademark sunnies. But she has also provided a masterclass in layering, keeping warm as the temperatures have…

Seriously Stylish Sales Picks
I made my first venture to the sales yesterday, and I’m still shuddering at the thought of it. I’m sure there were a great many bargains to be found, but you had to search hard amongst the rails of unmitigated rubbish, with pulls, rips, missing sequins seeming to be the order of the day. The rule of the sales is get there early, when they first start, in order to pick up real bargains. With many of the ‘new years sales’ now starting before Christmas, by the time you get to New Year, you are often faced with items better left to the dustbin than the bargain bin. And this…

So I thought I would wish all the Fashion-Mommy readers and supporters a very Merry Christmas, hope Santa makes all your dreams come true this year. Here are some of my own, personal, favourite images of the build-up to Christmas 2013. Merry Christmas everybody!

The Balcony opens in Selfridges Birmingham
Food Heaven has come to Selfridges Birmingham in the very tasty form of The Balcony. The newest part of the Searcy’s family of bars and restaurants had a very special bloggers evening last week, and I was lucky enough to be asked along to sample some of the exquisite dishes and cocktails that are on offer. I can honestly say that I can’t wait to pay a return visit. The Balcony is offering something a little different in terms of gastro delights. There are traditional and classic dishes with a twist, and new and exciting concoctions that make the mouth water at the thought. We started with a trio of…

Reviewed – Boohoo Samantha Lace Mid Sleeve Top
Earlier this month I was excited to announce the launch of the first plus size range from Boohoo.com.(You can read that piece here.) The range had all the hallmarks of the regular Boohoo range – fashion forward looks that are also reasonably priced, but these pieces came in sizes up to size 24, adding another option to plus size dressing. Boohoo have very kindly sent me some pieces from the range to review, and the first piece I have worn is the ‘Samantha Lace Mid Sleeve top’. This was a top that took my eye for many reasons. I loved the mid sleeves, perfect for covering the top of my…
