Love Sales – Never Pay Full Price Again.
Whether you buy clothes as a necessity, or whether you are a fully paid up member of the shopaholics club, you probably love the idea of a bargain. So many of us refuse to pay full price for an item, instead we wait to see if it goes into a sale at some point, hoping to save those precious pennies. But then, when the coveted item does get reduced, we miss out because we find out about the sale too late, and by then, the size we wanted has sold out. Sound familiar? Love Sales is a website that aims to stop this happening, and get you the items you…

Dreaming of London Living
Last week, the hubby and I spent a couple of really lovely days in London. We ate out, enjoyed a fabulous gig, and did a little bit of shopping, and just basically enjoyed all our capital city has to offer. I must admit it got me feeling a little wistful, because, before Joe was born, we had seriously considered moving to the capital, in fact, we had gone as far as applying for jobs, and I had lined up two jobs. Then, on the day that an interview for my dream job had dropped onto the mat, I found out that I was going to have a baby, and all…

New season focus – BHS
In recent seasons BHS has seen a style revival that puts it right at the top of the list for stylish, yet affordable clothing. In addition to housing Wallis and Dorothy Perkins concessions, their own branded clothing has become something that is definitely worth looking at. Last year I wore BHS dresses to two major Midland fashion events, the Harvey Nichols fashion show, and Style Birmingham Live after party, and both dresses got lots of compliments, and a few shocked looks when I said ‘It’s from BHS.’ This season, a few pieces have already been appearing in the press and eliciting really positive comments for the style, cut and colours…

Rudy’s Rare Records brings The Rep to its feet
A midweek standing ovation is a pretty rare thing, but that is what the hilarious ‘Rudy’s Rare Records’ got at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre last night. The superb comedy starring Lenny Henry had audiences on their feet with its mixture of warmth, laughter and Reggae, and is probably the only play I have ever seen where I have wished I had tickets for the following night. Yes, it is that good. Rudy’s Rare Records tells the tale of a dusty, musty record shop in Birmingham that has seen better and busier days, and is now under threat from developers who are buying up the street it stands on. Rudy, an…
