Making Savings on your Style Books Wishlist
Sunday morning’s have a bit of a ritual attached to them. I try to get at least a bit of a lie-in, and then I curl up on the sofa with a cup of tea and one of my favourite style books, the sort of book where you can just pour over the pictures and not even have to stretch to reading if you just want to be lazy. #saturday #reading Seems apt as we welcome a new #flotus.#books #bookgeek #bookblogger #fashion #style #powerdressing #instastyle #instafashion #fashionphoto #fashionphotography #fashionaddict #brumbloggers #brumblog A post shared by Emma Iannarilli (@fashionmommywm) on Jan 21, 2017 at 2:46am PST One of the places…

A chat with Tom Aikens
Tom Aikens is a real star in the cooking world. With two Michelin stars by the age of 26, Tom has recently opened the fabulous Tom’s Kitchen in Birmingham’s plush Mailbox, and the restaurant has been an instant success, a real destination in the City’s thriving food scene. On Monday I went along to Tom’s Kitchen (with a quick pit stop at Tom’s Deli on route) to chat to Tom about all things food. FM: Let’s start by chatting about Tom’s Kitchen. Why Birmingham? Why Mailbox? TA: I started talking about Birmingham two years ago. I’d looked at other cities and was interested in the demographic of the Cities, what…

Dressing Fashionably – It’s Not Just For The Young!
When I look back at pictures of my grandmother when I was a child she looks like your typical grandmother – long patterned skirt, primly buttoned cardigan and frumpy shoes. Today though, things are changing – you only have to look at style icons like Lauren Hutton, Twiggy or Iris Apfel to see that fashion is no longer just for the young! As we age though, it can be difficult – our bodies change and we may no longer be comfortable wearing certain things, so how do you know what to wear? Review, Reduce and Recycle It’s a good idea to review your wardrobe every few years, whatever your age –…

Mind the Gap – Stylish interiors from Red Candy
Red Candy is a great place to find stylish pieces for your home with a quirky edge. The brand, which was launched in 2009 as the world’s red only website, is now full of quirky, fun designs (of all colours) that allow you to add fun to your interiors, whilst still retaining a sense of style. As they say on their website:- ‘Shut up, beige!’ is our battle cry against everything bland, reflecting our mission to cut this lifeless shade down to size and fill our homes with lots of lovely colour instead! As someone who loves a little bit of quirkiness, I quickly found myself enamored with so many pieces…

A Vaping Update
Vaping is a proven way to help people both cut down and quit smoking altogether, and one which shows no sign of disappearing. As I have written in previous posts, changing from cigarettes to vaping helped my husband, a thirty cigarettes a day smoker, to quit altogether three years ago, and he has never been tempted to smoke since. Recently a close friend, another heavy smoker, has switched to a new e-cig brand in order to try to quit the dreaded weed, and this post is talking about some of her findings and experiences. Vaping has not been without issues, my husband complained about having to keep refilling the e-cigarette,…
