Muubaa – Statement Coats and Leather dresses
I first became aware of Muubaa due to ‘Made in Chelsea’. The ever stylish Rosie Fortescue was wearing the most amazing leather coat in one of the winter episodes, and a little Twitter research led me to find out that the highly covetable jacket was from Muubaa. I’ve been a fan ever since, and so was anticipating the Autumn/Winter collection with much excitement. I have not been disappointed. The latest collection is stunning. Using its trademark leather, but also adding elements of shearling and sheepskin, Muubaa has created a range of coats that offer warmth and style. With enlarged collars, diagonal zip fastenings and with cuts that take in trenchcoat…

Style Birmingham Live – A huge Success
Last weekend saw what was, quite possibly, the greatest Style Birmingham Live ever. This really was an event that had it all. The weekend started with a bang with a champagne reception and hair treats from the Francesco Group. This was followed by an amazing spectacle of fashion from the cream of Birmingham retailers, from House of Fraser and the Bullring, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, with good old M&S thrown in for good measure. The show was presented by Emma Willis and Rylan Clark, which was a totally genius pairing, they bantered so well and made the show warm and funny as well as a visual treat. With the added…

I’m loving Rapisardi boots
As the weather gets colder, and temperatures continue to drop, many of us actually look forward to the return to wearing boots. But, if we are being brutally honest, finding the right boots can be a difficult process. We want a pair that is durable and hard-wearing, but also need them to look good. We need them to be comfortable, but zip fastenings can pinch the legs, especially if we have muscular, or larger calves. Thankfully, popular shoe retailer Mozimo.co.uk may have found the answer to all our boot dilemmas. MoZiMo have recently started stocking boots by the Italian company Rapisardi. Rapisardi is a family business that has been well…
