Reviewed – Mia Roses Foil skirt from Boohoo
First of all, I need to apologise for the quality of the photographs I’m using today. They truly do not show the fabulous gold foil of this skirt at it’s best. Unfortunately, in daylight the flash refused to work, so the pictures are a little dark. But trust me, this skirt shimmers with the gold foil effect and is really lovely. This is the third of my reviews of the new Boohoo plus size range. Boohoo, as I mentioned in previous reviews, now has a great range that runs from size 18 to 24. The range is full of really fine pieces, dresses, tops, some great knitwear and killer skirts.…

Cutting the Cost of Designer Handbags
Designer handbags are an important accessory for the fashionable woman. They are a symbol of status and social mobility. Several high end handbags tip the pricing scales at just over £20,000. Those, of course, are extreme examples, but there are a great number of designer handbags that can set a person back anywhere from £2,000 to £4,000. Even the lower end stock of reputable handbag designers price out at the £300 to £500 range. Needless to say, many designer handbags are so expensive that they remain but a dream for a large portion of the population. If you have had your heart set on the more expensive handbags, you might…

Ted Baker new season – Floral prints and chic separates
I have totally fallen in love with the new collection from Ted Baker. It is, quite frankly, amazing. Taking the usual Ted Baker loved of exquisite blooming floral prints, and adding in the more minimalist, block colour separates in stark white, smart navy and neons and pastels, this collection totally screams summer. But is also contains many pieces that you will add to your wardrobe right now and be able to wear straight away. Detail is the key theme in this collection. There are embellished jumpers, with fabulous jewelled necklines – perfect with a pencil skirt or peg trousers for an evening out, or worn with skinny jeans and ballerina…

Making the most of your shopping
As many of my regular readers already know, there’s nothing I like more than getting a bargain. And I very quickly discovered that when it comes to online shopping, one clear way of making sure you never miss out on the latest sales and discounts is by signing up to a voucher code site. Sites like Voucherful.co.uk not only alert you to specific discounts (like 20% off etc) but also give you all the information about specific sales (i.e. furniture sales, discounts on menswear, childrenswear events…) and also alerts about free shipping and returns, all great information to have when shopping on the net. What is also good about sites…
