The last days of Summer with High Street Outlet
The latest in my review series for the brilliant High Street Outlet is a dress from the Cornish Brand Seasalt. The Seasalt Gylly dress is lovely, a navy and white cotton dress with a fit and flare style. Ostensibly a summer dress, I think this would be lovely with a chunky white knit added to it, either in the form of a jumper, or a cosy cardigan. The Gylly is a semi fitted dress in quite a stiff form of cotton. This gives it a wonderful 1950s shape – ultra feminine, and one you could easily add a net underskirt under if you wanted to go for the retro look.…

Fabulous looks from the Venice Film Festival
The Venice Film Festival is less well known than the ultra glamorous Cannes, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a visual treat for fashion lovers. It puts the style into September, and this year’s festival is no exception. With Grand Jury members including the impeccable Diane Kruger, Elizabeth Banks and Paz Vega, and attendees like Alessandra Ambrosio, Dakota Johnson, Elisa Sednaoui and Tilda Swinton, Venice is an event that has fashion fans swooning over both the daytime, and red carpet looks. I have been trawling through the images from the festival ( a really tough task…lol!) and have collated my favourite looks from the festival so far. They include Elizabeth…

ASOS Autumn Preview – My wishlist
Next up in my preview of the new Autumn season is ASOS. In terms of style, I always think ASOS is the most eclectic of the online fashion stores, the place where you can find literally anything, whether you are looking for current trends, classic pieces, or Avant Garde new designers. Stocking its own range, and then brands and designers such as Monki, Warehouse, Sisley, Aldo, Cheap Monday and American Apparel, ASOS makes the new season exciting by the sheer number of products it has available. There are currently some good ASOS voucher codes available at Fashionbeans which offer free delivery and returns, making now a good time for that…

Boden – The new Shoes
I saw a very funny picture yesterday that was emblazoned with the statement ‘It is ok to love your shoes more than you love most people’. I would say that when the shoes in question are Boden’s new season stock, this becomes an absolute statement of fact. Take a look at the gorgeous array of footwear below and tell me in all honesty – have you ever seen anything more gorgeous? In recent years Boden have become synonymous with shoes that you have to have in your collection. Each season they have an ‘it shoe’ that the media and bloggers alike just seem to go crazy about. I’ve already seen…

A weekend Wardrobe on a budget
August 6th was a milestone for myself and hubby Pete, as we celebrated 10 years of marriage. To celebrate, we spent a really romantic weekend in the utterly gorgeous Bowness on Windermere, enjoying a weekend of glorious sunshine and amazing scenery and food. For once, I decided to pack light, and with a bit of a them. I only packed dresses, opted for bright shoes and kept accessories to a minimum. I decided to take a couple of sales bargains, a couple of vintage finds and a current favourite dress that is made for summer nights. This is a very quick outfit post to show what I chose to wear…
