Seriously Stylish Sales Picks
I made my first venture to the sales yesterday, and I’m still shuddering at the thought of it. I’m sure there were a great many bargains to be found, but you had to search hard amongst the rails of unmitigated rubbish, with pulls, rips, missing sequins seeming to be the order of the day. The rule of the sales is get there early, when they first start, in order to pick up real bargains. With many of the ‘new years sales’ now starting before Christmas, by the time you get to New Year, you are often faced with items better left to the dustbin than the bargain bin. And this…

Next – What I’ll be looking for in the sale
Christmas is so nearly here. This time next week we’ll be getting the stockings ready, sorting out a glass of sherry and a mince pie for Santa, and generally rushing around making sure everything is going to be perfect for the most wonderful time of the year. But for those of us who are fans of High Street brand Next, we may also be getting quite excited about what is the most wonderful sale of the year. Next sales are legendary.

All I want for Christmas is shoes
The title is no festive jest, as a confirmed shoe-holic, whenever I’m asked what I would like for Christmas, another image of footwear immediately pops into my head. Everything from Ash style wedge trainers, comfortable ankle boots for the school run, heeled boots for the weekend and something heeled and sexy for date night with hubby, I frankly find it hard to meet a pair of shoes or boots that I don’t like. But at this time of year, it is shoes with added sparkle that catch the eye. Whether we are talking glittery shoes in the style of Dorothy from ‘The Wizard of Oz’, or metallic beauties, Christmas party…

Barbour create perfect Winter Staples
It is December, and that means we are well and truly entering Winter. Snow may not be here yet, but the mornings are cold and frosty, nights see the temperature dropping drastically and there have already been a few days when the mercury has hardly risen above that zero. This is the perfect time to take a look at your Winter wardrobe to make sure you have the key pieces that will help you survive the Winter freeze. A good coat, lots of chunky knits, shoes or boots with a sensible grip and a cute and warm hat are all vital pieces when the temperatures plummet. And the same rules…

Dancing Shoes inspired by Strictly Come Dancing
Strictly Come Dancing rules the Saturday night television in my house. I love everything about it. The mix of celebrities are perfect, the dances inspired, the costumes are never less than fabulous, and, of course I’m in love with the fabulous dancing shoes. The professional dancers and female contestants wear the most feminine and elegant shoes, often mid-heeled and Mary Jane style, and seem to (mostly) glide around the dance floor in effortless style. Maybe they have found the secret of the perfect shoe for causing ‘murder on the dance floor.’ (Bit of a Sophie pun there – sorry!) With the Christmas party season already beginning for some of us,…
