Fashion: The Year of Yellow
It may be a type of green that has been named the Pantone colour for 2017 (greenery – which is a shade I have frankly never heard of) but it seems to be yellow, all shades of yellow, that is having a moment. For proof you need to look no further than the recent Golden Globe awards, where Natalie Portman, Viola Davis, Reese Witherspoon and Maisie Williams were amongst the many ladies wearing a shade of yellow. Best Actress winner Emma Stone has also hit the campaign trail in yellow, as has one of my style crushes Naomie Harris. Kate Moss is famously a fan of the colour, one of…

Molly Goddard X Topshop
The much anticipated shoe collaboration between Topshop and rising fashion star Molly Goddard is finally available in store and online. First seen on the runway at Molly’s shows last September, the collaboration is a capsule collection of eight pairs of shoes and boots which combine Topshop cool with Molly’s quirky style. Molly Goddard is one of the most exciting rising stars in fashion. Much loved by Uber Blogger Susie Bubble, Goddard’s style is a little like an explosion in a tutu factory meshed with all the best elements of the dressing up box. She loves tulle, frothy ice cream colours and net, but these ultra feminine touches can be teamed…

Long sleeved shift dresses at Wallis
Long sleeved shift dress styles are a great addition to your Winter Wardrobe. The long sleeved style makes them much warmer than a traditional shift, and they look great with opaque tights and chunky ankle boots or Mary Janes.

Add tights, boots and a blazer, and this will work well as workwear. With a chunky knit cardigan and a woolly scarf, this can make a cool winter option. A long sleeved shift dress certainly earns its keep in your wardrobe, and…

Preparing for the Chill with Esprit
January. I have to be honest, it’s my least favourite month of the year. The one that replaces the Christmas glow, glitter and glamour with dark, cold weather and a decidedly chilly air. This month is proving to be the norm rather than the exception. By the end of the week we could be looking at sleet and snow across most of the UK, and those sparkly days of December seem an awful long way away. It’s time to dig out those Winter Woollies. The thing about dressing when the weather turns bad is that style often goes out of the window. It’s all about those chunky layers, puffa style…

December Outfit post part 2 – Christmas!
Welcome to part 2 of my outfit round up for the month of December. This is the part of the run up concentrating on the outfits I wore over the Christmas period, so, as you might expect, it contains a lot of glitter and sparkle. There are also lots of new things that I was gifted for Christmas by my lovely hubby and family. And, as we are now firmly entrenched in the January sales, lots of the items are now heavily reduced, giving you the ideal opportunity to grab a great sales bargain. I am always firmly of the opinion that the Christmas tree shouldn’t be the only thing…
