The yellow peril – colour of the season?
When I am asked my favourite colour I say, with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever, “YELLOW”. It has been my favourite forever, and this season, it seems to be having a bit of a moment, at least according to the bible that is Vogue. When I think of yellow, I think of some of my favourite ever dresses. I wore a gorgeous cotton sundress in canary yellow whilst I was four months pregnant to walk around Barcelona in the sunshine, it seemed the perfect choice. I had a favourite pair of ASOS sky-high Mary Janes in patent mustard that I was wearing when I fell out of hubbys car – breaking…

Essential Items You Need In Your Capsule Wardrobe
Creating a capsule wardrobe can be tricky if you’re not sure where to start. A capsule wardrobe is supposed to include clothes and accessories that you can use to create a broad range of looks.

But this month, Elie Beaumont have introduced a brand new collection that is completely removed from this comfort zone. Serendipity by Elie Beaumont Serendipity by Elie Beaumont takes a trend that I have been seeing a lot in fashion magazines and from bag designers. This is the quilted tote bag.

Keeping your wedding party on trend
Planning a wedding is a big job, especially when everyone you know has an opinion about what should be worn. When it comes to the bridesmaid dresses, you can either pick them out on your own or provide bridesmaids with guidelines in choosing their own attire. The bridesmaids dresses usually compliment the wedding colour scheme and the brides dress, sometimes echoing the style in a more subtle way. In the past, bridesmaids dresses were often home made, and, could often be the very opposite of stylish. But this is no longer the case, with many dresses now being bought from the evening wear section of places like Coast and Monsoon.…
