Glamour at the Baftas from House of Fraser
Last night saw the television Baftas taking place, with the stars of the small screen walking the red carpet. Sheridan Smith, Lucy Mecklenburgh, Millie Mackintosh, Michelle Keegan and Denise Van Outen were amongst the lovely ladies who got their best frocks on for a night of television celebration. If I’m being honest, it was far from a vintage night for style or fashion. Many of the lovely ladies had decided to go for the Met Gala flash as much flesh as possible route with dresses that offered sheer panels, strategically placed lace and not a lot else. I might be on my own saying this, but I am so bored…

I love many different kinds of cuisines and have a few restaurants that I would consider ‘favourites’ from Bellagio’s Italian restaurant in West Bromwich, to Thai Orchid in Birmingham, and quite a few different places in London. But as much as I love to revisit my favourites, it is also great to try new, interesting and unusual places to eat. Here are a few new ventures, interesting ideas and pop-up’s in the world of food.

Review – Tassel Kimono from Pretaportobello
I was recently introduced to the online fashion market Pretaportobello. The concept was inspired by the quirky fashion of London’s famous and iconice fashion markets such as the Portobello Road Market, Spitalfields, Camden and Brick Lane, where vintage bargains can be found along with pieces from news and upcoming designers. The website is a small family business run by three sisters, two of which have children so there is a real sense of ‘mumpreneurship’ about the concept! What they have put together is just brilliant, an Aladdin’s Cave of a site, with unique products from independent designers and a host of original fashion and designers that you just cannot find…

Friday Fashion – Brantano unveil Shoe-Per video campaign
There have been a few adverts recently that have made you want to buy a specific pair of shoes. I’m thinking of a certain Lloyds bank advert with a rather gorgeous pair of green shoes that had me drooling at the television every time it came on the television. Now, shoe chain Brantano have unveiled some rather cool shoe videos, one which is starring a lovely pair of turqouise wedges that have no gone onto my shoe shopping list. Take a look – rather pretty eh! The good thing is, on this occasion, you can actually buy the shoes in question from the Brantano website right now. The design is…
