Treat your feet and grab a Clarks bargain
Ever since I was a small girl, I’ve had a thing about Clarks shoes. From those early days of funny foot measuring machines and leather t-bars that had to last the whole school year (stop growing feet! please!), to the day when I rediscovered Clarks and realised how cool and trendy the Mary Janes, Desert boots and ballerina flats had been all along, Clarks is a shop that has a special, shoe-shaped place in my heart. And, as we slip further through Autumn, and nearer and nearer to Winter, Clarks are again spoiling us with a range of sales and discounts that make it positively rude not to indulge your…

Glam celeb looks from Ashley Benson, Kate Winslet and Florence Welch
This weeks celebrity focus turns to the glamorous. Some ladies are never really off duty, always looking immaculate even if they are just walking from A to B, today I have featured some such ladies. We have Florence Welch wearing Amanda Wakeley in Cinnamon, a colour she was just born to wear, and Kate Winslet showing that her pregnancy style is just as elegant as when she isn’t pregnant, wearing Isabella Oliver, and, even though it is such a cliched saying, absolutely glowing. We have Pretty Little Liars style Ashley Benson in French Connection, proving that a shrunken biker jacket should definitely be part of your wardrobe this Autumn/Winter, whilst…

Weathering the storm – grab your Wedge Wellies
I’ve been a little obsessed with Wedge Wellies since I first spotted them on Dragon’s Den. The idea of a stylish Wellington boot that could also offer the height, and the glamour of a wedge heel was something that really appealed to the side of me that hates flat shoes. In the years since that Dragon’s Den episode, the not so humble boots have moved on from strength to strength. And, with the UK facing some extreme weather conditions this week involving the possibility of flooding, it seems appropriate to pay tribute to the force of shoe nature that is the Wedge Welly. Wedge Wellies offer so much in the…

Evans – 400 items for £20 or less
I’m the first person to admit to loving a bargain, so when an email popped into the inbox saying that Evans was currently selling 400 items at just £20 or even less, then of course I had to go and have a look. And it is all true, with great prices for wardrobe basics, many items reduced in the mid season sale, and a raft of other offers, Evans truly has real shopping options for those of us on a strict budget. 400 items is a lot to look through, so I have chosen my special Fashion-Mommy edit of pieces that would enhance any wardrobe. From clothing to accessories, I…

Halloween – Choose your icons at New Look
Without doubt, one of my favourite nights of the year is Halloween. A little bit of spooky fun in the middle of Autumn, Halloween allows us all to embrace everything that is dark, gothic and just that little bit frightening. Whether you are planning to take the little ones ‘trick or treating’, are holding your very own Halloween party, or if you’re just enjoying a cosy night in front of the fire, a little bit of spectral magic is definitely worth adding to your wardrobe. But mention Halloween clothing to most women and you will get serious shudders. Halloween has become associated with a particular nasty brand of shop -tat…
