Look Again Press Event – Introducing Stacey Solomon
A couple of weeks ago I ventured to the glossy confines of Vanilla in London for a very special press event. Look Again were launching their ranges for Spring/Summer 2014, and also unveiling their new celebrity face of the brand, the very lovely Stacey Solomon. The papparazi were there in droves to photograph Stacey in some of the highlights from the new range, it was fascinating to see at close range just how frenzied the atmosphere can be. It really was mayhem, with photographers all shouting at the same time and seeming to fall over each other in a bid to get the best shots. Stacey, though, was the consummate…

After the loveliest weather you could wish for this early in the year, it really does seem like Spring has sprung. So it seems like the perfect time to start to look at all the new season drops that are hitting stores and websites right now.

New season bags from Spartoo
I always think Spring is the perfect time to invest in a shiny new handbag. There are always lots of new styles available, in a range of new season colours that you almost become spoiled for choice. I love handbags, having far more than I could ever wish to use. But some of them have seen better days. Having a little boy I often end up carrying the most unexpected of items in my bag – this week, I have taken out a tennis ball (a 50p purchase my son insisted on when we were looking around Sports Direct), stickers that are no longer sticky, a half eaten milky bar…

Leighton Meester for Nelly
She is the gorgeous style icon who starred in one of the most talked about ‘fashion-forward’ TV programmes of all time. She is also the lady who has just married Seth Rogan aka Adam Brody. And now she is sharing her fashion expertise in a newly launched range for Scandinavian fashion giant Nelly. Yes, it could only be that fabulous Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester. The Leighton Meester collection for Nelly launched yesterday, and is full of pieces you could well imagine being part of Leighton’s own wardrobe. A cool mixture of classic and more edgy pieces, Leighton has combined trends like leather and skin flashing cut outs, with a range…

Sainsbury’s launch ‘Love You Assets’ by Spanx
At the end of last year, Sainsbury’s launched a new shapewear collection with the ultimate experts in this field, Spanx. The collection promised to offer body-shaping solutions to women of all shapes and sizes, enabling the wearer to both look and feel body confident. The collection has been designed by Spanx’s Queen of Shapewear, Sara Blakeley, and I was really excited by the opportunity to try some of the pieces from the collection. I freely admit to wearing shapewear. I am most definitely in the plus size category when it comes to clothes, and my key problem area is my stomach. I always carried weight here, even when I was…
