Christmas gift ideas from Selfridges Sweater Shop
There is nothing that can make you feel warm and cosy like a much-loved sweater. Worn over jeans or leggings, this can be a great casual look. Add a pencil skirt and heels, and a sweater becomes something completely different. It is an integral part of any respectable capsule wardrobe, and of course, in recent years it has also become an undisputed star of the Christmas season. Everyone who is anyone has to have at least one Christmas jumper. Selfridges would not necessarily be your first port of call when looking for a perfect jumper, but this season, they have pulled out all the stops to offer you the most…

Morning School Run – The First Catwalk of the Day
Gone are the days when mums did the school run in their pyjama bottoms and slippers with no makeup on. Mums are now glamming up for their daily trips to the school yards to drop their kids off. It doesn’t mean rolling up in the most up to date car, but also strutting down the school playground in heels, the latest designer handbag or face of makeup. The school playgrounds have now become a hub for mums to showcase their latest fashion items to compete with other mums in the yummy mummy contest. I’m sure that the kids couldn’t care less whether mummy has Dior lipstick on instead on MAC…

Treat your feet and grab a Clarks bargain
Ever since I was a small girl, I’ve had a thing about Clarks shoes. From those early days of funny foot measuring machines and leather t-bars that had to last the whole school year (stop growing feet! please!), to the day when I rediscovered Clarks and realised how cool and trendy the Mary Janes, Desert boots and ballerina flats had been all along, Clarks is a shop that has a special, shoe-shaped place in my heart. And, as we slip further through Autumn, and nearer and nearer to Winter, Clarks are again spoiling us with a range of sales and discounts that make it positively rude not to indulge your…

Reviewed – Thermolactyl round neck sweater
It is almost as if the weather knew the calendar had turned to the November page. Or maybe it guessed that it was the weekend before Bonfire Night, and that this would require periods of time spent outside, trying to get as close to the bonfire as humanly possible without turning into a Guy Fawkes. Either way, the weather has turned decidedly cold, and our wardrobe now needs to react to this undoubted fact. Which is why I am turning to my thermals. And in the year that they are celebrating 60 years of production of their brilliant thermal range, I don’t think you could find better thermal products than…
