Grab your perfect evening dresses and a Bank Holiday bargain
My parents celebrate a very special milestone at the end of the year, celebrating 40years of marriage. To celebrate this very special occasion, we’ve been looking for something special to do as a family, and one of the most popular ideas has been to do a cruise. All the brochures showing cruises 2014 are already in the travel agents, and the Med is looking a likely destination. 2014 could be a very exciting time. Cruising is one of my favourite ways to holiday, the photographs above were taken when I last cruised the Med in 2009. I guess one of the main reasons for me loving the lure of the…

Dower and Hall welcome the new season in sparkle
Eminent British jewellery designers Dower and Hall turned thoughts to the season of glitter and sparkle when they showcased their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection in London last month. Showcasing a collection that ranged from Vintage inspired pieces to the thoroughly modern, Dower and Hall showed just why they are celebrating 30 years in the business.

My particular standout was the brand new Chintz collection, which is not available yet, but is sure to be very popular. A stunning mixture of sterling silver with an openwork design, paired with a sea-glass Opalite,…

Or maybe it is because of the connotations with Hollywood glamour, would those Ruby Red Slippers have been such a powerful symbol if they had remained silver, like they were in Frank L Baum’s original story? I think it is maybe a little bit of all of the above. Red is always…

Bank Christmas in July event – Simply Stunning
Another hot, indeed scorching, Summer day, and another event where we were looking towards the festive season. This time the event was in the swish surroundings of London’s Westbury hotel, and the brand in question was Bank. And if, like me, you think of Bank as a destination only catering for very young, casual and fast fashion, be prepared to have a serious rethink, because the Bank Christmas in July event was full of glitter and sparkle. There was definitely vintage inspiration on show in the collection, with beading, embellishment and sequins all heavily in evidence. The Great Gatsby elegance shows no signs of disappearing, and 1920s style evening dresses…
