Cool shoe trends making a comeback
Many of the styles made popular in past fashion trends are making a chic comeback. For example, the funky boat-shoes and Sperry’s of the 1980’s are one of the hottest looks in footwear currently, appealing to men and women of all ages. The question arise as to where to find these retro shoes, as some may not be interested in combing through thrift stores or vintage shops to find these clever, versatile items. Online retailers appeal to buyers looking for hard-to-find items, and that want to comparison shop to save the most money. For instance, it is possible and quite easy to find new Sperry’s in a wide range of…

Reviewing Old El Paso family friendly food
I love Mexican food. Enchiladas, fajitas, burritos, guacamole and nachos – these all rate amongst my favourite dishes. I adore a bit of spice in my flavours, but do sometimes find that these are hard to incorporate into family meals. My five year old is not really a fan of what he refers to as ‘spicer’, and so milder, classic options are called on time and time again at mealtimes. When I was approached on behalf of Old El Paso to review some of their Mexican meal kits, I must admit I jumped at the chance. This was an excuse to have a Mexican tea for review purposes, I hoped…

Celebrity get the look featuring the Duchess of Cambridge, Reese Witherspoon and Lucy Watson
It’s Friday, which must mean it is time for another celebrity ‘get the look’ round up. Last week I was sitting on a Welsh beach so I had plenty of time to browse magazines looking at all the latest looks from a whole host of celebrity ladies (and one very cute royal baby.) So here are some of the looks that have been catching the eye during April. This round-up wouldn’t be complete without a look at some of the amazing looks that Duchess Kate has been wearing during the very successful tour of Australia and New Zealand. In this post I’ve featured a few of my particular faves, designer…

Next Kids Spring/Summer Preview Event
The range of kids clothing at Next is always a big hit with both myself and Joe. This season he has lived in his Lego t-shirt with ‘Everything is Awesome’ emblazoned on the front (a present from Uncle Ben), and we have also recently picked up a fab dinosaur design that he saw on a trip to New Square, and basically fell in love with. So the opportunity for a trip to Next HQ to see the new Spring/Summer collection, with Pizza making on the menu for lunch, was just too good to miss. Joe’s Spring Picks Next HQ in Leicester is a vast building dedicated to all things Next…

Wallis introduce W Crimson Collection
The second drop from the Wallis W collection for Spring 2014 is now available in store and online. Called the Crimson collection, this one still has an emphasis on neutrals and nude shades, but is now jazzed up with the introduction of orange and tonal pinks. As before the collection has elements of tailoring, with structured jackets and cigarette pants, and this time there is the addition of smart shorts that can be worn with a blazer for a twist on office chic. For me, it is again the dresses that I admire most. Thinking towards holiday packing there are maxi dresses that explode in print, and soft silk shifts…
