Selfridges Christmas – Journey to the Stars
Christmas in July has been and gone, with Selfridges once again pushing the boundaries when it comes to unusual Christmas campaigns. This year the theme is a mystical, celestial one, with the title being ‘Journey to the Stars’ and the focus being the Christmas star, linking collections to astronomy, astrology and spirituality. This theme led to a truly magical press day, with an abundance of midnight blue and silver when it came to fashion.

The latest production of the stage version of the story is currently midway through a run at Birmingham’s Town Hall, and is totally thrilling its audiences, young and…

Merry Christmas from Fashion-Mommy

It really starts tonight when we make a trip to Birmingham’s Electric Cinema to watch Home Alone, and is then family all the way, making memories with every passing hour. So it feels fitting to take this opportunity to wish all the fashion-mommy readers and friends a very merry Christmas.

May the coming year be a good one, and I look forward to sharing new stories and memories with you in 2015 – a year which will mark…
