Wednesday Fashion Focus
Sometimes I write about fashion to focus on particular trends that I am loving. Sometimes I write about fashion because I want to discuss the latest celebrity looks, and give you some ideas on how to get them. But sometimes I just want to write about pretty things I would love to add to my wardrobe, and this is one of those days. It seems that Wednesday may well be the new Friday when it comes to getting a great deal on fashion websites. Today Dorothy Perkins are offering some amazing picks with 24% off for the next 24 hours. I love the idea of wearing the tan t-shirt dress…

Lego Deep Sea Explorers at Birmingham Sea Life Centre
The Sea Life Centre in Birmingham is one of the City’s top family attractions. Each Summer it has a special themed event to tie into school holiday time, with Moshi Monsters and Octonauts being featured in previous years.

But I was recently set a challenge, could I show just how versatile Gudrun Sjoden pieces could be by styling one dress five different ways? I love a good challenge so I browsed the website, chose the perfect dress, and set about looking for accessories to make five different, but totally versatile looks. The dress I chose was the Florencia cotton/Silk dress which is still available in all…

5 Reasons to use Chemist Direct
Chemist Direct is a company I was unfamiliar with until quite recently.It is an online Chemist service and drugstore that also sells a wide range of bath, hygiene and skincare products, along with vitamins and medicines, suncreams and haircare ranges. I was recently offered the opportunity to try out the online services offered by Chemist direct and have to say I was really impressed with the range and the delivery service. In general, I tend to get ‘bathroom and beauty’ products from a range of different places, from the supermarket to Boots or Superdrug, even my local chemist attached to the Doctor’s surgery, so a place where it is all…
