Moshi Monsters Weekend at The Sea Life Centre
One of my family’s favourite, all-weather attractions to visit in Birmingham is the National Sea Life Centre in Brindley Place. Home to all manner of deep-sea creatures, from Sharks to Stingrays, and all sorts of truly beautiful and unusual fish, the Sea Life Centre is the ideal place to add to your Summer Holiday must visit list, offering education and a whole lot of fun. This Summer the attraction is even more exciting due to the arrival of the Moshi Monsters. Katsuma, Poppet and Monstro City’s number one Moshling conservationist, Buster Bumblechops, are on a mission to save the amazing marine creatures that are housed in the Sea Life Centre,…

Fashion for all the family at Tu Clothing
One of the greatest things about the clothing sections that now appear in most supermarkets is the sheer convenience of being able to pick up an outfit as you do the weekly shop. If you need something quickly, or suddenly discover you need a certain colour t-shirt or cardigan, there is no longer a need to pay a visit to the High Street, you can simply throw whatever you need in the trolley with your bread, milk and pasta. Tu clothing, the range available in Sainsbury’s supermarkets, is a brand that always impresses, both with the variety of styles on offer, and the quality of the pieces. The season’s collection…

Reviewed – The Salamander Eco Cotton dress from Gudrun Sjoden
When we look at fabrics that are suitable for summer dresses, we seem to be naturally drawn to cool linens and cotton. I’m not a real fan of linen – I love the look on everyone else, but on myself I always look and feel like I’ve slept in my clothes. But cotton is another story, the practical thin layer that keeps us cool and avoids those lived in creases. The Salamander Eco Cotton dress from Gudrun Sjoden is one of those perfect summer pieces in eco cotton. It is no secret to readers of Fashion-Mommy that I am a huge fan of Gudrun Sjoden, the vibrant prints, unique designs…

Reviewed – Multi Sequin Print Maxi Dress
As a real lover of maxi dresses, it was inevitable that when I packed for my recent holiday in Menorca, the case was going to contain quite a few pretty maxi’s. The multi sequin print dress from Wallis was always going to find room in my bag, the colours are just so pretty, this was calling out for a holiday sun tan to set it off perfectly. The multi print sequin dress is distinctly Pucci style in it’s vibrant print. Made up of gorgeous summer shades, yellow, pink, blue and purple that give an Aurora Borealis effect when meshed together, the dress is perfect for anyone who just loves bright…

Scaramouche and Fandango – pamper the man in your life
The rather wonderfully named Scaramouche and Fandango is a great new beauty range aimed at the man in your life. You may remember some of the products were featured in the very popular men’s beauty box that Selfridges launched in time for Father’s Day. After featuring the box on Fashion-Mommy, the lovely people from Scaramouche and Fandango asked if I (or hubby Pete to be more precise) would be interested in taking some of the products for a proper test drive. Of course we said yes, and here is what Pete thought of this new range. Pete is pretty good at taking care of his skin. His work in the…
