Ted Baker’s amazing new men’s accessories at Selfridges
Whilst the ladies were enjoying the gigantic shopping experience that is Style Birmingham, Selfridges made sure that the menfolk were not neglected with a very special launch of the ‘Ted Baker workshop’ department. This was the sort of event which should really be ‘Only men allowed’, but I popped along a little earlier for a sneaky preview of what sort of treats were going to be on offer that afternoon, and let’s just say that this event would appeal to even those men who profess to really hating shopping!

‘Enchanted – The Show’ at The Bullring
I took my front row seat last Saturday to watch Enchanted and was blown away by a very grown up fairy tale. ‘Enchanted’ was the Bullring’s major contribution to this year’s Style Birmingham, and it was a truly stunning spectacle.

Zatchels Pop Up shop opens in House of Fraser, Birmingham
Saturday saw the biggest fashion event on Birmingham’s social calender when Style Birmingham Live took place. There were fashion shows galore all over the city, and beauty events in most of the department stores. But by far the most anticipated event for handbag lovers was the launch of the Zatchels Pop Up Shop in House of Fraser. Zatchels is one of the hottest brands around at the present time. Beloved by celebrities, these bags appeal to everyone from students to yummy mummy’s, with men also hooked on the more masculine satchel designs.
