Reviewed – F&F Crepe Open Front Jacket
I have been looking for a perfect pink jacket for a long time. I love pink, it is one of my favourite colours, and one that does seem to suit my colouring since I have lightened my hair. But it is also a minefield when it comes to jackets. Get the cut and colour right and it will look chic and sophisticated. Get it wrong and you will look like a lesser known member of the royal family at a wedding, or, worse still, Anne Diamond in her TVAM days. Luckily, the lovely people at F&F stepped in and sent me a jacket that was definitely on the chic side,…

Occasion Dressing with Esprit
Last week I received a very exciting email that left me a little bit shocked and flustered, and asking that age-old question ‘What will I wear?’ I was asked if I would like to be a judge for Ladies Day at Wolverhampton Races. Of course, the answer was an immediate yes, what an absolute honour to even be considered for the role. But now comes the task of choosing a perfect outfit for the occasion. I have just over a month to choose something, so the hunt starts now. Now, I have said the event is ladies day, but actually it starts in the early evening, and goes on well…

The Bullring Bloggers Event
Last Thursday saw the first Bullring Bloggers event, which combined beauty, food and fashion previews for the coming season. The event was held in the hospitality suite hidden within the Bullring, and I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to what was a lovely evening of all my favourite things. The evening started with two style presentations. The first was a curl session from Umberto Giannini, with a focus on the latest Curl Friends products that have been such a big story this summer. The second session was taken by my lovely friend Elca Jeffers and looked at the new Autumn collections from Karen Millen, and, in particular, the…

Bathtime Luxury from 2 Moon Trading Co.
2 Moon Trading Co. are a Midlands based beauty company (Walsall to be exact), who are offering a range of beautiful, handmade pampering products at really affordable prices. The company has recently launched its new website and I was lucky enough to be sent a couple of sample products to try and test. It is safe to say that I have fallen in love with the brand and its ethos. The 2 Moon story is a really inspiring one. Founder Georga Duncan-Price had always loved handmade bath and beauty products, but found them to be too expensive. So in January 2013, 2 Moon Tracing Co. was born, offering luxurious, handmade…

New Look inspire – A focus on pretty tops
My latest selection of reviews for New Look are focusing on tops, well, a top and a blouse to be more specific. I was super impressed with the style and print from the tube skirt, so I was interested to see if the top selection would be as impressive. With that in mind, I chose something that I would normally choose (a top that was stretchy, with no front buttons) and something that was outside of my comfort zone (a blouse, buttoned down the front). What would the verdict be on the two items? Inspire Coral Floral Lace Boxy Shirt As a general rule, I never wear shirts or blouses…
