M&Co – A fabulous Festive Offering
I love that time of year when the shops suddenly become all sparkly and glittery, and we start to think about the real party season. Yes, Christmas is on its way, and as much as we are thinking about presents, we are also turning our minds towards our wardrobes. Because Christmas is the one time of the year it is actually encouraged to be as bright and sparkling as a Christmas tree, and the seasonal offerings from our favourite stores echo this fact. For a spot of Sunday shopping this week, I’m turning my attention to M&Co. They have started to promote their party shop and it is chocked full…

Glam celeb looks from Ashley Benson, Kate Winslet and Florence Welch
This weeks celebrity focus turns to the glamorous. Some ladies are never really off duty, always looking immaculate even if they are just walking from A to B, today I have featured some such ladies. We have Florence Welch wearing Amanda Wakeley in Cinnamon, a colour she was just born to wear, and Kate Winslet showing that her pregnancy style is just as elegant as when she isn’t pregnant, wearing Isabella Oliver, and, even though it is such a cliched saying, absolutely glowing. We have Pretty Little Liars style Ashley Benson in French Connection, proving that a shrunken biker jacket should definitely be part of your wardrobe this Autumn/Winter, whilst…

Shoes – These are a few of my favourite brands
When it comes to choosing my favourite shoes, I must admit that I admire a great many brands. Certain companies seem to excel in producing a certain sort of shoe, and so when you are choosing new shoes, it pays to go to an expert.

When looking for a flat shoe that offers comfort with chic ballerina styling I look to French Sole, beloved by Kate Middleton, and certainly more reasonably priced than Pretty Ballerina’s (which I also love incidentally, but my bank…

Selfridges Destination Christmas – The Emporium arrives in Birmingham
Last Thursday was definitely a red-letter day for lovers of all things Selfridges and all things Christmas. For the first time ever, Selfridges Birmingham opened a dedicated Christmas Emporium. Jam packed to the rafters with all things festive, including the most varieties of crackers I have ever seen under one roof, the Selfridges Destination Christmas Emporium is enough to make Ebenezer Scrooge dispense with the ‘humbug’ and reach for the Yule log – it is just so seasonably fabulous. I was invited along to check out the emporium just before it opened to the public, and this meant a real treat. Prosecco and Christmas foodie treats for breakfast was the…

Getting the most out of voucher sites this Christmas
Christmas is on its way. With just over eight weeks to go, I am starting to get very excited. But whilst the presents and the tinsel, the turkey and the trimmings, all hold that most wonderful fascination, the reality of the escalating cost of Christmas is a less pleasant thought. But there are ways of keeping the cost down. Voucher Code websites have been some of the most popular sorts of sites on the internet in recent years. They are a worldwide phenomenon, with sites across Europe. North America and Asia. In recent years India has also been getting in on the act, with Myntra Coupon Codes in particular being…
