    Christmas shopping wrapped up – Ted Baker.

    With the days to Christmas just flying by, I’m here with a few more shopping gems that any fashionista would be so pleased to find in their Christmas stocking. This time the focus is on Ted Baker, who have outdone themselves with a great accessory range that includes laptop bags, purses and cute clutch bags. These are items that will make great gifts for sisters, friends and yummy mummy’s, although I have my eye on the laptop bag. And for fans of the Wizard of Oz, there are the most beautiful pair of shoes that Dorothy would probably have killed 10 wicked witches to get too. So add these little…

    Art Deco style – The Ultimate Christmas Wish List…

    I don’t mind admitting that I am a real Art Deco girl. In my dream world my house would have a flat roof and geometric edges,my colour scheme would be black and White and all my jewels would have previously been owned by Wallis Simpson in the 1930s. I love the Chrysler building, the Hoover building, Saltdean Lido, The Electric Palace on the Portobello Road and every single bingo hall converted from an Art Deco cinema. In short, I’m in love with Art Deco. Which is great this season, when there are 1930s influences to be found on a whole range of clothing, accessories and gift ideas. Here then, is…

    A supermarket sweep around Dressrail

    The Push Pr press day held many pleasant surprises in terms of new brands and collections that were full of must have items. But one of the biggest surprises was my introduction to Dressrail. Dressrail is an affordable fashion gem.  With the tagline Love it.Click it.Wear it, Dressrail is producing a fascinating range of stylish daywear, gorgeous evening wear and amazing accessories at unbelievably low prices. At the Press day I was really impressed by the great sequined dresses that were fully lined and heavily embellished, yet cost less than £30. This encouraged me to take a further look  at the Dressrail website where I fell in love with primly…

    Pure Collection – Cashmere Heaven.

    The unfortunate thing about the weather turning decidedly chillier is my aversion to coats. I love them, but don’t particularly like wearing them, I rush about far too much, then feel hot and sticky and end up carrying them in all weathers.  But with a two year old that would be happy to live in the park or garden, there wasn’t much hope of avoiding that wrapped up feeling…until I was contacted by Pure Collection. For those unaware of the brand, Pure Collection produce some of the most stylish, covetable Cashmere items on the market. These are super luxury items, but keying into the trends in terms of colour, shape…

    Miss Selfridge – Your one stop for Saturday night dresses.

    I’ve just been looking through the new season look at Miss Selfridge and it is safe to say that if you need a super special dress for the weekend, you need to look no further. From glittering full  length showstoppers, to vintage inspired designs and new variations on a little black dress, there are some really stunning designs in this collection, which look more high-end than High Street. Here are some of my hot picks from Miss Selfridge. This dress is very Balmain inspired, like a longer version of the dress that was worn by Emma Watson. Imagine walking into a Christmas party wearing this! Beautiful, and so sexy with…
