Having a fashion moment – Margot Robbie
There are a few style icons who I think rarely put a fashion foot wrong. Alexa Chung is one, the two Kate’s, Moss and Middleton, are two others, and I would also add Jessica Alba, Harley Veira Newton and Laura Bailey to my list. And now I think there is another lady who seems to always look stylish and fabulous, although I’m guessing being a tall, leggy and totally gorgeous blonde helps. I’m talking about Margot Robbie, the Australian actress who started in Neighbours and then progressed to a starmaking turn in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. More recently she has been wowing audiences as Jane in the latest Tarzan…

#FanDayFriday – Lovely Lichfield
This week, my #FandayFriday topic is a place that I love to visit for it’s mixture of historical buildings, great restaurants and vintage and antique shops. I’m talking about Lichfield, the birthplace of Erasmus Darwin and Dr Johnson and the home of the beautiful three spires Catherdral. Last weekend was a date weekend for Pete and I, so we decided to spend a gloriously sunny day in one of our perfect places. St Mary’s in the Market place is a great place to start your walk around Lichfield, it is where you can find the tourist information centre and you can also get some amazing views across the city from…

Black and White stripes from Gudrun Sjoden
Gudrun Sjoden is a brand that I can always turn to for a great quality, wear anywhere, dress. Using a range of Eco cotton, this Scandinavian brand assures you of a product that looks great, washes well and is kind to the environment too. My most recent Gudrun dress is the short dress in Eco cotton and elastane blend, and this is the sort of dress that can be dressed up or down, and is in a non crease fabric that makes it perfect for throwing in a holiday suitcase – a total no brainer. This is such an easy to wear dress – no buttons, zips or fastenings, you…

Celebrity Get the Look with Poppy Delevingne, Pixie Lott and Naomi Harris
My latest celebrity get the look post is a special one for me, as it features some of my latest style crushes. These are ladies who’s wardrobes I totally covet and would just love to dive into, even though I would probably struggle to fit my arms into their dresses, let alone my whole body. First up is Poppy Delevingne, a lady who always seems to get it right, totally winning the best dressed at the Met Ball this year, and now winning Glastonbury too, in a floral print tea dress. I have also been super impressed with V icky Pattison’s choices since she won ‘I’m a Celebrity’, she seems…

Fan Day Friday – Earning Your Stripes
When it comes to fashion, and especially Summer fashion, there is a style that consistently pops up in my wardrobe as the epitome of my style, and that is stripes. I love a stripe, I ignore all the perceived wisdom about who can wear stripes, and what sort of stripes you should wear depending on your body shape, and I just embrace the stripe for all it is worth. A stripe is an enigma. It is a bit of fun (think candy stripes) that can also look super classic and stylish (pinstripe anyone). It can be described as nautical in navy and white, or French inspired – what is more…
