Friday Fashion – Wallis new ‘W’ collection
The latest drop from the W Collection from Wallis is here, and it is as glamorous and eclectic as ever. Full of eminently wearable pieces that incorparate daytime classics with full on evening glamour, the new collection is stylish, timeless and yet still feels absolutely bang up to date. This season has chosen a stark colour palette of black, white, camel and red. There are flashes of metallics in the form of a silver soaked beaded jacket, a bronze brocade trouser suit that echoes the 1970s ethos of Biba, and a beautiful, boho influenced dress/tunic emblazoned in stars and beading. The Judo coats are just stunning. I love the bright,…

Fast forward a few years, and the table was still there, but now we also had a child, and it seemed silly to change the table that was now used not just for feeding, but for painting, plastacine and general play. But Joe is now 6 and we recently decided that it was finally time to change the room back to the purpose it was designed for – dining and entertaining. Hence complete gutting, redecoration and finally, a new dining…

Is It Worth It? A Look at the Top Qualities of a Good Quality Watch
It’s more than just an accessory In this digital age of smart phones that literally run your life for you, the necessity of the wristwatch has all but faded to the background. In fact, most men wear them more as an accessory than a functional piece (even if they actually work!). However, a wristwatch is so much more than an outdated novelty accessory. It tells a lot about a man; acting like a status symbol. It can also be regarded as an investment, especially if you are going to spend all that money on it. And if you are into family and heirlooms, it can be part of your legacy…
