Dreaming of London Living
Last week, the hubby and I spent a couple of really lovely days in London. We ate out, enjoyed a fabulous gig, and did a little bit of shopping, and just basically enjoyed all our capital city has to offer. I must admit it got me feeling a little wistful, because, before Joe was born, we had seriously considered moving to the capital, in fact, we had gone as far as applying for jobs, and I had lined up two jobs. Then, on the day that an interview for my dream job had dropped onto the mat, I found out that I was going to have a baby, and all…

Flax PR Press Day
The Flax PR Autumn/Winter press day was a real treat for those who love great quality fashion and beauty. The PR company represents brands like Petit Bateau, Helen Moore and Cabbage and Roses, and the press day was the perfect showcase for classic, luxury brands. There were innovative raincoats from Terra New York, in beautiful bright colours. Petit Bateau made me fall in love with the printed peg trousers, perfect when teamed with block coloured quilted sweatshirts and tops. Similarly, I adored the wealth of faux fur on show from Helen Moore. This is all made in England and seems to be a huge story for Autumn/Winter 2014. There were…

It really is a time of the year when everyone seems to feel happier, possibly because they are looking forward to getting away for the holidays and spending some time with family and friends. It is also a lovely time in terms of fashion. The thick tights get put back into the drawer, and the sun-dresses and the sandals come out of their winter hibernation. But there is a downside to all this sunshine, and that is the endless shaving of legs that we seem to do to keep them smooth and silky and looking their…

Boohoo Autumn Preview – and an array of Summer maxi dresses
The Boohoo.com preview for Autumn/Winter 2014 was held at No1 Marylebone, and had a true summer holiday atmosphere. There were photo booths, hook a duck games, seaside style cut-outs for posing in, and a feast of sunny food and drink choices. But there was also fashion that looked forward to the cooler days of Autumn and Winter, and eclectic mix of prints, colours and fabrics. I was a little confused with the styling, I guess I’m just too old for the baseball style jackets and glittery slogan sweatshirts. But I loved lots of the individual pieces that were adorning rail upon rail. I also fell in love with the…

Wallis Dress Event
Over the last few seasons, Wallis has excelled itself when it comes to producing gorgeous collections of dresses, and, with Summer just around the corner, the latest collection is almost here. The lovely ladies from Wallis invited me to Wallis HQ last week to take a look, and I was absolutely smitten by so many of the styles I viewed. From beautiful maxi dresses, to 1960s style beaded shifts, to bright summer friendly colours, to muted neutral shades, Wallis has decided that there should be a dress for any woman and any occasion, and they have gone out and created one. I want them all! As well as dresses, there…
