My pick of Clarks new season.
My fave place to shop for shoes has to be Clarks. I get all Joe’s school shoes from there, they literally last until he needs a new size, they are hard-wearing and tough and yet super comfortable too. My hubby is a big fan of the Clarks Originals Desert Boots, having both the suede and leather versions, and basically living in them, especially the leather ones. As for me, I am a total Clarks Addict, having a huge range of boots, heels and flats from the brand. It really is a brand that I would find no problem recommending to anyone. I always get excited with the new ranges that…

Celebrity get the look with Jessica Alba, Daisy Lowe and Jourdan Dunn
The start of a new month, and a gloriously sunny day, no wonder this edition of celebrity get the look has so many items that are just screaming out my favourite word “Summer”. There are footwear looks from Ugg Australia that were all seen at the recent Coachella festival, including Jourdan Dunn showing how boots can still be made springlike if you teamed them with pretty shorts (her complete outfit is from Topshop if that also takes your fancy). Model Chloe Nygard takes those hen night glitter faves and makes them festival friendly – possible due to the teaming with multi-coloured hair and very quirky shorts. And Coachella DJ Daisy…

B PR press day – Fashion, beauty and treats galore
The B PR press day is always one that I really enjoy, mainly because they represent such a wide range of companies and brands. This means the Press previews are ultra exciting, a wonderful place to be if you love fashion/beauty, or both! The latest press event saw the showcasing of many top brands. For beauty lovers there were the likes of Bodhi, Bomb Cosmetics and Ciate, whilst those with a bag fixation could check out the newest designs from Alphabet Bags, Knomo and Helmer. Those with a penchant for shoes were also well served, with fashion-forward designs from Simmi Shoes (including some pretty gorgeous sandals in metallic shades that…

Dorothy Perkins – Pretty Pastels and floral prints
Spring/Summer fashion has just gone all girlish and pretty on us with the latest drops at Dorothy Perkins. Pastel shades and floral prints are dominating the designs, giving a real feel of all things ‘Summer’ – garden parties, sorbet ice cream and pretty seasonal blooms, with a dash of blue skies and sunshine yellow scattered throughout. This is an over-whelmingly feminine collection, full of ladylike, full skirts and maxi length dresses. The inspiration seems to comes from glamorous icons of the past who never looked less than ladylike – Grace Kelly in her full skirts, Jackie Kennedy in her boxy, pastel coloured jackets, and Diana, Princess of Wales in neat…

Cool shoe trends making a comeback
Many of the styles made popular in past fashion trends are making a chic comeback. For example, the funky boat-shoes and Sperry’s of the 1980’s are one of the hottest looks in footwear currently, appealing to men and women of all ages. The question arise as to where to find these retro shoes, as some may not be interested in combing through thrift stores or vintage shops to find these clever, versatile items. Online retailers appeal to buyers looking for hard-to-find items, and that want to comparison shop to save the most money. For instance, it is possible and quite easy to find new Sperry’s in a wide range of…
