Hatton Country World Enchanted Christmas
Christmas arrived at Hatton Country World this weekend with the launch of Enchanted Christms. The farm yard setting was suddenly invaded with tinsel and sparkle as Santa set up his grotto and very special workshop/toyshop in the Warwickshire countryside.

An evening with Jacques Vert, Grand Central Birmingham
Last Thursday the gorgeous Jacques Vert flagship store in Birmingham’s Grand Central hosted an evening of shopping and fizz as it showcased its key looks for the upcoming party season. A sort of early Black Friday, there was also a massive 30% discount on the night, which was a tempting incentive to snap up a series of gorgeous looks.

Jacques Vert is a British High Street icon. The company was originally founded in 1972 by Jack…
