Party Dresses – Whatever your style!
Put 10 different women in a room and ask them to describe their ideal Christmas party dress. The one thing that is absolutely certain is that they will describe then different dresses. There may be some similarities, maybe quite a few of them will opt for a little black dress of some variety, or a dress with sleeves will be a popular choice, but, ultimately, the dresses will be different and unique. With that in mind I have collated a collection of 25 dresses that should cover all bases. There are maxi dresses, midi frocks and flirty minis. There are dresses with sleeves and those that are completely strapless. We…

Christmas Jumpers from BHS
Aah Christmas jumpers. Once something only worn by embaressing uncles, or children who had been forced to wear one of nan’s awful knitting creations, the Christmas jumper has now passed into that so bad it is brilliant catagory, and they even have their own day dedicated to them. (I believe it is December 18th this year, but don’t quote me.) It seems that if you are getting into the Christmas spirit, you need to get yourself a Christmas jumper. Luckily, not all designs are garish and unwearable. Every year BHS seems to come up trumps with designs that are both cute and cuddly. Robins, penguins, polar bears and pretty Christmas…

Christmas Glamour from Phase Eight & Studio 8
When it comes to glamorous occasion dressing, Phase Eight can always be relied upon. And now, Sister brand Studio 8 is also continuing the good work, with beautiful pieces that go up to size 24. With Christmas less than 40 days away, this post is dedicated to pieces that can be worn over the Christmas period, from Christmas day celebrations, to partying the night away on New Year’s Eve. But this post does come with a difference. Regular readers of this blog will know that I am obsessed with dresses, and that when it comes to evening wear, I always step towards the dress rail. This post, however, does not…

Friday Fashion Focus – Coast glitter, glamour and sequins
Are you ready to get dressed up. Party season is almost upon us and this is a great excuse to add feathers, sequins and sparkle to your wardrobe. The house and Christmas tree is not the only thing that should sparkle at Christmas, you should be able to wear all those glamorous things that you put to one side for the rest of the year, and release your inner sequin idol, whether that be in the form of Downton style 20s glamour, or Kylie Minogue in something that could only be described as ‘skin and beads’. Coast is always a great starting point if you are really looking to push…

F&F Clothing have sorted your Winter Coat Dilemma
It is getting colder. That is official. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours on the touchline watching my son play football, and I don’t mind admitting I was cold. Really cold. The wind was blowing a gale, the sky was dark and murky and the sun never even made one fleeting appearance. It was a day when a jacket just would not do. It was a day for a proper Winter coat. F&F Clothing have totally got Winter coats sorted. Ultimately we want something that will look great, keep us warm, and be hardwearing enough to last us until Spring. But we don’t want to spend a fortune because…
