Bag a bargain with Jones Bootmaker
As something of a handbag aficionado, I never really need an excuse to buy a new bag…but getting £10 off is definitely an added incentive. One of my favourite shoe shops Jones Bootmaker has started a special promotion, just in time for the weekend, with £10 off some specially selected bags. And with a range of fabulous styles including my favourite animal prints, these are definitely not to be missed. I have chosen some of my favourite designs to share with Fashion-Mommy readers. These are great if you want to spoil yourself, or maybe even starting thinking about that dreaded Christmas..and the never-ending list of presents that you are faced…

Here are some of my highlights. Cherished Jewellery that carries ‘the patina of age’, Cherished is the…

I have been lucky enough to get a sneak preview of the Winter collection that will be hitting stores later this month and have to say it is absolutely gorgeous. Warm, cosy and with an emphasis on the sort of chunky knits that have you dreaming of snowy days, I think White Stuff clearly has another winning collection on its hands. The images above are from the White Stuff Winter magalogue, the White Stuff version of a catalogue, that comes complete with stories that turn it…

An interview with beauty Guru Sue Devitt.
Whilst Birmingham sweltered in the unseasonable heat last week, I was coolly ensconced in the beautiful personal shopping suite at Harvey Nichols where I had the pleasure of interviewing Sue Devitt. The Australian beauty guru has just introduced her wonder skincare and cosmetics exclusively to Harvey Nichols, Birmingham, and I had a chance to get the lowdown on the woman behind the brand, and her inspirational travels that have helped her develop her brand. Fashion-Mommy: Tell me a little bit about Sue Devitt. Sue: I’ve created a treatment based, colour brand. I worked for 8 years as an US based freelance make-up artist where I made up some of the…
