Friday Fashion – Brantano unveil Shoe-Per video campaign
There have been a few adverts recently that have made you want to buy a specific pair of shoes. I’m thinking of a certain Lloyds bank advert with a rather gorgeous pair of green shoes that had me drooling at the television every time it came on the television. Now, shoe chain Brantano have unveiled some rather cool shoe videos, one which is starring a lovely pair of turqouise wedges that have no gone onto my shoe shopping list. Take a look – rather pretty eh! The good thing is, on this occasion, you can actually buy the shoes in question from the Brantano website right now. The design is…

Making a saving on the summer holiday wardrobe
As much as I love the physical activity of shopping, I find that these days I do it less and less. There are many reasons for this. The first is that I work from home during the week, and find it a little bit naughty to just take off on a shopping trip when I’m meant to be working. The second reason is, come the weekend, we do a lot of family activities, and my little boy Joe is most definitely shopping-phobic, so we tend to avoid shopping centres in the main and any shop that isn’t a sports or toy shop in general. Shopping in my past Now …

Welcome to the World Charlotte Elizabeth Diana
I spent another bank holiday weekend in Wales, but I was so excited when I woke up on Saturday morning to find that Duchess Kate had had her baby, and that we now had a little princess. Today we found out that the baby had been called Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, and I don’t think I will be the only one really pleased that the baby’s name contains a tribute to her beautiful grandmother Princess Diana. Kate left hospital fairly quickly on Saturday and looked wonderful after giving birth just that morning. Unlike the birth of George, when Kate left hospital on a gloriously sunny day, the weather was pretty chilly,…

Friday fashion focus – Yellow
When it comes to colour, there is one shade that I always move towards. Yellow is the colour of sunshine, custard, buttercups and dandelions, of pretty tea roses and Big Bird, and it is one of my favourite things. I love it in Winter when the days are short and dark, it just adds a little bit of sparkle to make everything seem a little brighter. In Spring and Summer, it just adds to the general mood lifting and frankly makes me feel a little bit happier. Celebs love yellow too. For fans of yellow, now is a great time to add a few more bright and beautiful pieces to…

New handbag lust list
Of all the fashion items you can buy, it is handbags that I have the biggest weakness for. I must have at least 200 now, and I can’t seem to part with any of them. I have some great designer buys from the likes of Vivienne Westwood, Michael Kors, Tods, Lulu Guinness, Mulberry and Marc Jacobs, along with lots of beautiful vintage clutches picked up in charity shops and flea markets, and plenty of High Street buys as well. The collection is stored under the bed, bursting out of cupboards, and is a constant source of moaning from the husband, but I still couldn’t bear to part with any of…
