Boden – 40% off Partywear – My Top Ten Pieces
And the sales and discounts go on and on, tempting us to part with more of that well earned cash in order to get all festive ready, sparkling and glamorous. Next up on my trawl of current offers available in store and online is Boden. In recent years I’ve loved that Boden has took a very retro route with it’s collections, with many pieces have full 1950s style skirts, or being 1960s shift shapes. In this post we can also add some full length options, as well as glittery shoes. The shoes include those beaded pumps which seem to have appeared on every Instagram feed, outfit post and wishlist since…

The seasonal sales continue with Wallis
So Cyber Monday came and went, and Black Friday is little more than a rather bruising distant memory, but that doesn’t mean the sales and discounts are gone. Now is actually a brilliant time to find yourself a bargain buy, but without any of the crushes, the falling televisions and the hype. As we move closer to the big day I am going to try to share some more Christmas gift ideas for the whole family, along with fashion pieces that can carry you from walking around a Christmas market, to feasting on the turkey, and enjoying the ultimate dress up night – New Year’s Eve. I’m starting with some…

Playtex Round the Clock with 24H soft
I was recently contacted to see if I would be interested in taking part in a challenge being organised by Playtex. Entitled ‘Round the Clock with 24H soft’, the challenge was to put the new 24H soft hosiery through its paces, by wearing the tights from morning until night. I was then asked to blog about my experiences of the tights – it was a challenge I was happy to take part in. As a person who is always happiest in dresses and skirts, I tend to wear tights quite a bit. But being tall and long-legged, but with a fuller figure, I often struggle to find tights that are…

Smiggle opens in the Bullring
Last week I was invited to the opening of a fabulous new store in Birmingham’s Bullring. Smiggle is a stationery store that promises to bring fun, choice and must have pieces to any school bag. (think Paperchase with a younger target audience). The store is sure to be a haven for youngsters and teens, as well as a nostalgia trip for any adults who used to collect rubbers and key rings when they were younger. Smiggle is an Australian company that has now opened 16 stores across the UK in 2014. The stores change the stock every six weeks, so there is always something new to see, making it a…

My Selfridges Wish List
You know how it is. You see what you would love your other (better?) half to give you on December 25th. You drop all the hints, leave the magazines and catalogues open at the appropriate page, pause and rewind the advert when it comes on the TV, and then, on December 25th you rip open that parcel, and sigh at the fluffy slippers, or the oh so practical food mixer, or even (heaven forbid) Dyson that has appeared in your stocking. If any of the above sounds familiar, and fills you with dread, Selfridges may have the answer you have been looking for. You can create the simplest of wish…
