Wallis Dress Event
Over the last few seasons, Wallis has excelled itself when it comes to producing gorgeous collections of dresses, and, with Summer just around the corner, the latest collection is almost here. The lovely ladies from Wallis invited me to Wallis HQ last week to take a look, and I was absolutely smitten by so many of the styles I viewed. From beautiful maxi dresses, to 1960s style beaded shifts, to bright summer friendly colours, to muted neutral shades, Wallis has decided that there should be a dress for any woman and any occasion, and they have gone out and created one. I want them all! As well as dresses, there…

The sun is shining – get on your bike
Now that Summer is almost here, and the weather is being kind to us, I think it is the perfect time to get out in the sunshine and get on your bike. I am a huge fan of cycling as a form of exercise, and love the fact that it is a perfect activity for all the family to get involved in, regardless of age. It is also a great way to check out the countryside, or some of the great cycling routes and trails that are all around the country. I tend to get involved in a cycling event of some form each year. In 2012 I was part…

Debenhams Spring Beauty Event

I love Elemis, using lots of their products in my skincare regime, from the new cleansing balm, to the hero product Pro Collagen Marine Cream. Unfortunately, I had a skin break out on Saturday…

Dial M for Murder spellbinds at The Rep
Can a perfect murder ever be committed, or do human frailties mean we miss tiny details that would inevitably get us caught? That is the premise for ‘Dial M for Murder’, a claustrophobic thriller by Frederick Knott that was most famously bought to life by the genius of Alfred Hitchcock and the beauty of Grace Kelly. A new production by Lucy Bailey is currently playing at The Rep theatre in Birmingham, and I went along to see how the suspense holds up 60 years after it was originally written. The story is many layered. The glamorous Kelly Hotten plays Sheila Wendice, a once adulterous, now devoted wife of ex- tennis…
