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…

Spain has a stylish new queen
Unless you have been living under a rock and have totally been ignoring the world’s news, you will not have missed the news that Spain has a new king, following the abdication of King Juan Carlos. And along with the new king, Felipe VI, we also have a very stylish new queen, Letizia. And boy, does she have a pretty amazing wardrobe. Letizia is a former journalist and newsreader who married Felipe in May 2004. She is very popular in Spain, and much like the Duchess of Cambridge she has championed Spanish designers and High Street stores, from Felipe Varela and Lorenzo Caprile, to the much loved Mango and Zara.…

TM Lewin – the day dress sorted.
Question. You’re off shopping for a new dress. Not a dress for a special occasion or an event, but a dress that would be smart enough to be suitable for work in Summer, or could take you to sport’s day at the kid’s school. Where would be the first place you would look? I’m taking a wild stab in the dark here, but am guessing that the your first port of call wouldn’t be TM Lewin, best known to most of us as the place to find the perfect work-shirts for both men and women. But you would be missing out if you didn’t pay TM Lewin a visit, for…

Reviewed – Zebra Print Dress from Tu at Sainsburys
The next review in my series celebrating life beginning at 40 is from Tu, the range of clothes that are stocked in Sainsburys. I’ve been a fan of Tu for years, I believe they offer exceptionally good quality for a supermarket brand, with style very similar to Boden, but at a great budget price range. I really enjoyed looking at the current collection, which offered something a little different to the summer brights I have been wearing. Natural and neutral shades, with more than a nod towards the ‘Out of Africa’ and safari styles that always work so well in summer, make up an important part of this collection, with…
