A treat for your mobile phone
If you asked 100 women what the most important item they carried around in their handbag every single day was, I’m guessing (at least) 99 would say their mobile phone. Smart phones are such an important part of our lives, we use them to shop, to book tickets, to take photographs, to text, Snapchat, Whatsapp and play games. Sometimes, we even use them to call people on. Our phones contain ticket information, our banking, our photographs and videos, they do the job that used to be done by cameras, diaries, trips to the bank and a whole lot more. Sites like the Mobile Network Guide have become invaluable for news…

Net and Tulle Skirts – Sex and the City Lives on
There have been many iconic, on-screen moments when it comes to fashion. On the big screen we’ve had Marilyn Monroe in Travilla white pleats. Scarlett O Hara knocking up a dress from a set of velvet drapes in Gone with the Wind, Annie Hall with her love of thrift shop men’s tailoring, and Judy Garland in Dorothy’s Ruby Red slippers. On the small screen, there was the Rachel cut that launched a million copycats, the glitz and glamour of Dynasty complete with sequins and shoulder pads, and more recently, the peaked caps, sever haircuts and sharp tailoring of the Peaky Blinders – who are soon to have a fashion range…

The print is undoubtedly popular, particularly when Summer comes around, a natural choice for weddings, race days and ladies days.

Yet this would be a shame, because floral prints can be so much more than the print your grandma would love to see you wearing. Beautiful, hot red carpet looks have taken the deepest of red flower…

Octer – The online marketplace
I love shopping. If it can be classed as a hobby, then it would certainly be mine. I’m happy to spend hours walking around shops, either looking for exactly what I want, or just doing a bit of window shopping. I also love online shopping, finding the sort of unusual stuff that you only seem to be able to find at online boutiques, or enjoying the bargains that come when you use voucher codes sites or sign up to brand emails. Yes, shopping makes me happy. But many people hate shopping, finding it a chore. Even searching online is something that takes a lot of time and effort, trying to…

Get the Celebrity look with Gigi Hadid, Olivia Palermo and terry terry
My latest celebrity style post has a real taste of summer about it, as it features the hottest new celebrity loved sunglasses from Quay Australia, and the Kendall +Kylie for Topshop beach collection, which was launched last month and is already seeing some pieces totally sold out. Summer is always a great time for celebrity style picks, with both on and off duty looks that we can steal for our own summer holidays, as well as designer styles that are easily copied using High Street pieces. This post has beautiful maxi dresses, as worn by Holly Willoughby and Lydia Bright. Both are high street pieces, from River Island and Miss…
