Choosing the right baby car seat – inspiration from Prince George
One of the most important things an expectant/new parent has to do is choose a car seat. It is also one of the scariest. New parents aren’t allowed to take baby home unless the car seat has been inspected by the hospital, and it goes without saying that the safety of the new baby is paramount in the parent’s mind. Luckily, there are now really great options when it comes to choosing a car seat, with Prince William giving some inspiration. No-one could forget that fabulous July day when Prince William and Duchess Kate emerged from St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, with their tiny baby Prince. And what many people commented…

Reviewed – Scarlett & Jo Purple Embellished Shift Dress
When you mention the name Scarlett and Jo to anyone, they automatically think of the ‘Powerfit’ dresses, those form-fitting, curve enhancing frocks that have a real feel of the Roland Mouret Galaxy dress about them. But there is more to Scarlett and Jo than just the powerfit, they have a great range of 1960s style dresses, prom queen styles and everyday tunics too. That’s why it is such a pleasure to be asked to review a different dress from the current range, the ‘purple embellished shift dress’. This is a showstopper of a dress, rich in colour and covered in beautiful, bugle bead embellishment. The shape is a retro 1960s…

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,…

Celebrity get the look featuring Kelly Brook, Tamera Foster, Tess Daly and Ripper Street
As to be expected this close to Christmas, this edition of Celebrity Get the look features lots of gorgeous ladies (and a few gentleman too) in a range of gorgeous sparkly and festive ready frocks. The end of year always brings a fleet of awards ceremonies arriving like buses and this gives celebrities from the World of TV and film the opportunity to don their glad rags and enjoy their chance to sparkle on the red carpet. In this post we have Emmerdale’s Gemma Oaten and Corrie’s Brooke Vincent doing just that in Gorgeous Couture. The Face has been one of the TV hits of the Autumn and two of…

John Lewis Secret Santa…and a touch of Temperley
You may remember a few weeks ago I told you all about the Bloggers Secret Santa that I was taking part in, courtesy of John Lewis. Well, last Friday I received my present through the post, chosen by the lovely Sioned of Tea and Fairylights, I don’t mind admitting that I was super excited to open the present- I am a fan of all things Christmas, and I possibly get even more excited than my four-year-old, which is definitely saying something. On tearing the packaging I let out a little squeal when I saw a Somerset by Alice Temperley label, and realised that this was a gift of cashmere. Sioned…
