Reviewed – Barratts Mary Jane Wedge Court Shoe
When it comes to shoes, I must admit to being a little bit obsessed. I can often resist the urge to buy new clothes, or jewellery, or even gorgeous handbags, but resisting then urge to buy gorgeous shoes is another matter. If there is such a thing as a shoe-pie(bit of a play on a magpie there), or a Shoe-nista, or just a plain shoe fiend, that would definitely be a label to fit me. So an opportunity to review shoes is one I will never turn down. Especially when the offer comes from one of my old favourite brands, with the chance to chose the shoes. Barratts has been…

Stylish Movies: Downton Abbey
The movie of the smash hit TV show Downton Abbey has just hit cinemas and it is certainly the best dressed movie of the year. Set in 1927 and telling the tale of a royal trip to Downton, the film is gentle, nostalgic escapism which I, for one, absolutely loved. Gloriously filmed, with stunning overhead shots of Highclere (where it is filmed) and its grounds, the film is a visual delight, and that is without even getting to the clothes worn by Lady Mary and Lady Edith which are simply exquisite.

September has been a month that has looked at moving away from fast fashion shopping and has instead looked at re-using our wardrobes – Second Chance September. When we do buy something new, we are being encouraged to look at charity shops, vintage stores and nearly new shops in order to buy second hand, with Oxfam terming the month Second Hand September. Now regular readers of this blog will know that I always buy second hand, vintage and car boot sales when adding to my wardrobe. This does not mean I don’t buy new, I do, but my budget doesn’t always allow for splurges and I love the idea of…

Getting The Best Deals Around
There was once a time when we got a bill through the post and we paid it without question. We wouldn’t even consider that there might just be a better deal for us out there if we looked, and so we stayed with the same suppliers for all our services and supplies. But as times have been tough, we’ve learnt to count the pennies and to shop around. It no longer pays to stay with the same suppliers, whether it be for our gas and electric, our mobile phones, our credit cards, and even for our weekly shop. If you want to get the best deal around now, it’s probably…
