Boden launch new season brights
When the days are short and dark, and sunshine seems in short supply, it is always heart-warming to think that we have already had the shortest day, so Spring and blue skies must be somewhere around the corner. One of the ways that we can start to lean towards Spring is when the stores and brands start to introduce the new season ranges, and when those ranges are bright and pretty, they go some way to lightening those dark days. Boden have this week started to introduce their first, new season picks. Like in previous seasons, the range is high on colour, with both pastels and primary shades well represented.…

Reviewed – Army and Navy Reed Shawl Neck Jumper
The Army and Navy brand from Howick, which is currently stocked at House of Fraser, is one with a strong and proud British heritage. First founded in 1871 by Army and Navy Officers, the brand has, over the years, expanded and gone from strength to strength, becoming an international success story and offering clothes that are strong on both style and quality, with that mark of heritage which still seems to resonate in the 21st Century. House of Fraser recently offered my hubby Pete the chance to review a piece from their current menswear ranges that include Label Lab, Criminal and Howick. Pete opted for a jumper from the Army…

Sizzling sales picks from M&Co

M&Co have…

I think 2014 has been a pretty vintage year in terms of stunning red carpet and off duty looks, and I’m sure to be featuring lots of my favourite 2014 looks in another post before we reach December 31st, but this post is looking at some of the glamorous evening looks that have featured in end of year Jingle Bell festivities. We…

It’s Christmas Jumper Day this Friday
I have a confession to make, this year is the first year that I have ever been tempted to wear a Christmas jumper. In the past I have always thought they were for someone else, I loved them on my sister. who always looks super cute in them. My good friend Emily-Jayne totally rocks a Christmas jumper, and my little boy Joe just looks adorable in them. But me, a total no-no. That is, until last Friday… I had chosen a really cute design from Tipsy Elves, of a lovestruck Christmas Yeti with a sprig of mistletoe, ready to move in for the kill. This must be the jumper I’ve…
