W.E. – It’s almost time for Wallis to Rule
The reviews aren’t exactly glowing, but I’m still very excited about Madonna’s new movie about the great love affair between Edward and Mrs Simpson. The film is released on 20th January, with Angela Riseborough playing Wallis, and from film stills and publicity shots I have seen pre-release, this is going to be a supremely stylish affair. Any film about the Duchess of Windsor is always going to feature fashion heavily. Clothes were important to Wallis, she believed that not being the most beautiful women in the world mattered far less if you were the best dressed.

Caggie Dunlop – A winter masterclass
Some girls just know how to dress for the really cold weather. I can’t claim to be one of them. I don’t really like wearing trousers all that much, always feel overly warm in a winter coat, and I keep loosing gloves. Which is why sometimes I require a masterclass in the art of Winter dressing.

A snapshot of my seasonal buys.
I don’t usually write posts about my own personal shopping habits, but this year I have found myself having to be a bit frugal in my choices due to having much less disposable funds that usual. This has led to me choosing a mixture of seasonal buys, charity shop finds, and recycling of some very old pieces from my wardrobe. Here are some of the pieces I have invested in this year. Next Buys I was asked to choose a piece from Next’s latest collection after my shoes blog was chosen as one of the best of the month. I totally fell in love with this lace topped piece that…
