Reviewed – Mystery Boots by Hotter
[affilinet_performance_ad size=468×60] As much as I love a pretty heeled boot, I have to say that doing the school run every day makes wearing them virtually impossible. Joe’s school is in a semi rural area, and this Autumn it has been a nightmare due to falling leaves and rainfall. Frankly, in heeled boots I have had to take my life into my hands as the pavement has become treacherously slippy – at times I’ve walked in the road which is not a good idea either due to it’s narrowness and the volume of traffic that comes through. Clearly I needed to be wearing something more sensible. Thankfully, Hotter shoes have…

November Outfits Post #WIWT
November is always a busy month, because it is when the road to Christmas really begins. So this month has been filled with really lovely events, shows and parties which has been a great excuse to get into my second wardrobe. This is one that lives in my son’s room and contains my party wear, the clothes covered in sequins, sparkle and glitter. Because, if you can’t sparkle at this time of year, I’m really not sure when you can. As ever, I have tried to link to pieces that are in shops now, or have featured alternatives in similar styles, cuts and colours. My second wardrobe is one that…

Reviewed – Carlito Quinn Boots from Brantano
[affilinet_performance_ad size=468×60] Now we are firmly ensconced in the season of cold and frosty weather, a good pair of boots is a must. My checklist when it comes to boots is that they must look great, be really comfortable and be I tend to go for leather (even though I love suede with a passion, you need at least one pair of leather boots for the really wet weather.) Also, I tend to agree with Victoria Beckham when it comes to heels. Brantano have a great range of ladies ankle boots including a lot of designs with heels that would look great with a dress or jeans. My current favourites…

Outfit Post – Gothic Princess.
When it comes to clothing and outfits, I am a sucker for colour. Whether it be vibrant red or yellow, or softer shades of blue or pink, colour is something I have always embraced. If truth be told, as much as black is classic, elegant and always described as flattering, I do find it a little bit on the safe and boring side. But last week I had two events in the same night and I decided that the look I wanted to go for was a Gothic Princess look. I wanted something pretty and floaty, a little bit fairy tale, but I was thinking more Malificent than Cinderella (because,…

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. I went along to check out this season’s style and to get a better understanding of why Jacques Vert is no longer just the destination of choice for ‘Mother of the Bride’ outfits. Jacques Vert is a British High Street icon. The company was originally founded in 1972 by Jack…
