More cute designs from Chatty Feet
Chatty Feet, the company who ‘put quirky characters at your toes’ have recently launched a whole range of new designs. As ever, the socks are, quite literally, full of character, they are funny and quirky and can either be a real talking point that you show off to your friends, or a little secret that you hide underneath your business suit. I love the idea of Chatty feet, putting the fun back into your sock drawer! I was sent a pair of Yoko Mono socks to review in size 4-8. I quite honestly adored them. Obviously based on a gorgeous Japanese lady (how funny is the punny name!), the design…

Feasting at the Chef’s Table at Grill LaTour
An invitation to dine at the Chef’s table at one of my favourite Birmingham Hotels was the exciting proposition that dropped into my inbox a couple of weeks ago. Hotel LaTour has always offered fabulous fine dining in its Aalto restaurant, but the rebranding of the restaurant as Grill LaTour, with an emphasis on my very favourite food, succulent steak, was something for foodies(and me!) to get very excited about. A really good steak restaurant has to be one of my favourite places to eat, and when the restaurant is also offering fresh produce, including locally grown fruit and vegetables, I think you have a destination that will be hard…

Christmas comes Early with Unineed
With the last bank holiday of the year well and truly over, and with children returning back to school after the summer break, I think it is safe to say that Autumn is well and truly here. With the start of the new season, I’m afraid to say I start to look ahead to Christmas, to make my lists and do some forward planning, trying to find a few bargains along the way. I have good reasons for getting stuck into the Christmas shopping so early – my little boy also has a Christmas birthday, and I have special family birthdays in October and November, as well as two family…

The Autumn Collection from Phase Eight
The Autumn collections are coming thick and fast, and this Saturday I’ve decided to turn my attention to the fabulous new collection from one of my favourite High Street brands, Phase Eight. Phase Eight can always be relied on for bringing class and elegance to the table. They understand the need for dresses with sleeves, always have lengths which are not thigh revealing, and have designs that step some distance away from what the rest of the High Street is reveling in. They also take cues from the decades of fashion that I love, the bias cut evening dresses from the 1930s in their Collection 8 range, and the full…

Introducing LamaLoLi – Perfect for your little superheroes
If you have a child under the age of 10, the chances are they are in the middle of some sort of obsession. This could be with Disney Cars, Monster High, Spiderman, Barbie, Skylanders – the list is positively endless. For my little boy, the obsession is Angry Birds, or, to be more specific, Star Wars Angry Birds. He seems to live, sleep and dream about them. Which is why I was so happy about an introduction to LamaLoLi. LamaLoLi is an online shop selling branded fashion children’s hero products. Mainly concerned with t-shirts, sweatshirts, underwear and pyjama’s, the store also stocks some great winter coats and anoraks, along with…
