Getting Set For Summer With Gudrun Sjoden
I’m having a fan girl moment for Gudrun Sjoden once again. I honestly believe that when the weather turns brighter, there is genuinely nothing better than turning to their eco-cotton creations that look stylish and keep you cool. Gudrun’s Summer creations are made for packing in your suitcase, they weigh next to nothing, feel cool and lightweight when you are wearing them, and yet still look good enough to take you from the beach to sightseeing around the city. The dress I am wearing here totally illustrates this point. This is the Monsun eco-cotton dress which has a loose flowing style and, hurrah! is a dress with pockets. This dress…

Hush Summer Fashion Event at John Lewis
Hush is a brand that was once known for its homewares, then its lush leisurewear, and is now known for its beautiful, wearable fashion pieces. The brand is affordable luxury, the sort of pieces that can take you from all occasions, from work situations to weekend fun, from relaxing days to nights drinking cocktails.

March Outfit Post – #WIWT
March. Well that was a strange month wasn’t it! It started off with the Beast from the East , and some of the coldest conditions I think I have ever lived through, and ended with Easter, which also promised snow, but turned out to be not too bad after all. For me, March was the month of many birthdays, a few nice theatre visits, an amazing bottomless brunch, and a trip to Wales for a good wind down. It was busy, and seemed to fly by. (Is it just me or do the years seem to go even quicker as you get older?) In terms of clothing, it was a…

Boden: The New Icons Collection Is Here
Over the last few years Boden has had a reputation for style based on the best of British. Collections have been represented with campaigns that have included British icons, from red telephone boxes and black cabs, to the landmarks of London life. I still have my London print umbrella from a few seasons away, and totally love the iconic nod to British style, both past and present. But the latest icons collection couldn’t be farther away from rain swept, windy Britain. Taking it’s inspiration from the colours and designs of the Far East, Boden Icons for Summer 2018 is entitled ‘Wonders of the World’. Boden say of the collection:- Our…

Accessorize Bullring Shouts Out To Spring
February 28th 2018 will go down as one of the coldest nights in living memory. The mercury reached the depths of -6.5 degrees in Birmingham, it was literally freezing, not really a night to be out in. But the Accessorize store in the Bullring was warm, especially when a group of bloggers were invited for a lock in, complete with gorgeous fashion and accessories, Parma Violet gin and nibbles. Clearly this was worth braving the cold for. The idea of the evening was to give style and fashion bloggers an opportunity to get up close to the latest Spring collections, and to do a little bit of styling too, looking…
