Fashion Focus: H&M New Season
My current favourite shop on the High Street is H&M (closely followed by Oliver Bonas, Monsoon and TK Maxx). I love the fact that their ranges are ultra wearable and yet fashion forward, and that most of the styles are also affordable fashion. Although they have a great online offering, I still love going into an actual shop and seeing stuff in the flesh, so last week I took a trip to the New Street branch in Birmingham, and picked out some of my favourite current picks. Romance White cotton, high necks, frills and flounces. There are some pieces that can only be described as romantic in the current collections,…

Have you ever avoided watching a remake or an updated version of a movie because you enjoyed the original so much?

But I am happy to admit that I am wrong, this is a very good, and very stylish movie with much to recommend. And chief amongst it’s attractions is Branagh…

The perfume diaries – the sweet smell of Harrods
A look back at an amazing exhibition from 2010 – The Perfume Diaries! Fashion-Mommy was lucky enough to get to see ‘The Perfume Diaries’ exhibition that was showing at Harrods recently, and I am pleased to say that it both looked, and smelt amazing. Perfume has been with us for a long time, far longer than I would have believed, and the Harrods exhibition was a celebration of this fact. There was a selection of herbs and flowers that go to make up different perfumes, and a selection of vials that you could smell, although some of these were extremely strong, a bit like smelling salts. Every top brand was…
