Phase Eight introduces the latest Collection 8 dresses.
I always get super excited when I see that Phase Eight is launching a new range of Collection 8 dresses. This time I am even more giddy than usual after having the pleasure of previewing these dresses at the Phase Eight press day late last year. I fell deeply in love with the whole collection then, and am even more besotted with it after seeing the official press shots. (You can check out the press day post here.) Collection 8, for those who are unfamiliar with the range, is a series of eight dresses that evoke images of old Hollywood. Perfect for the Red Carpet, these dresses have become a…

Sampling Brunch at Malmaison Birmingham
The Sunday Brunch at Birmingham’s swish Malmaison may well be one of the city’s best kept gastronomic secrets but this will not be the case for long. Put quite simply, the delicious delights available on both the chef’s table, and the menu as a whole, mean that this is one meal that foodie’s definitely need to sample. Proudly boasting to being the biggest Sunday lunch in town, the unlimited Sunday treat is both great quality and great value. I was invited along to Sunday Brunch last week, and was really interested to go along to sample it. I often pop into the Birmingham Mal for meetings, grabbing a coffee or…

Reviewed – Heat Holders Thermal leggings
There is one big elephant in the room that needs to be revealed before I write this post. I hate leggings. I have tried to like them, I got a few pairs in black to wear under shorter length dresses that I thought were a bit too indecent for me to wear with just tights, but frankly, I hated them. They wrinkled on my knees, seemed to roll off my tummy and just about drove me to distraction. My leggings were very quickly consigned to the recycling bin. But when I was asked if I wanted to review a pair of thermal leggings from Heat Holders, I said yes very…

The new season drops continue to pour into stores, and my latest focus is Wallis. I always love to see what the new season brings to Wallis, knowing there will be stylish quality items in a range of colour options.

There are some great, block colour options, as well as patterns that range from watercolour style flowers, to…

The Grammys 2014 – Best looks
Another Sunday night meant another awards ceremony, and therefore another dose of red carpet looks. I had really high hopes for the Grammys, after all, the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Jessie J and JLo have made this one of the most unmissable nights for fashion in the calender year. But 2014 has proven to be a bit of a disaster year in terms of truly memorable looks. The biggest stars failed to walk the carpet, Rihanna being a complete no-show. Those stars who did the red carpet walk sported a series of looks that can only be described as questionable. You had Katy Perry in the world’s most…
