Boho Inspiration from Duchess Kate
The successful Royal tour of India and Bhutan is now at an end, and it has to be said that watching Duchess Kate’s wardrobe has been an absolute joy. She has moved away from her regular, classic style and embraced an Eastern inspired wardrobe which has been a veritable feast of colour and boho inspiration. Kate’s wardrobe has been a mixture of clever High Street Pieces and designer outfits, including a red Tory Burch kaftan style dress that was worn on exactly the same day by Hollywood star Drew Barrymore. The wardrobe worked so well for this tour, looking cool and relaxed in the hot temperatures, and very modern and…

Reviewed – Lavitta Illusion Dress
Every wardrobe should have a printed dress in it. Something that is easy to dress up or dress down, requires little or no adornment, and is easy to just throw on for any occasion. If that dress doesn’t need to be ironed either, than that is even better. Lavitta’s current range of Illusion dresses can tick all of the above requirements, and look pretty gorgeous too. I have been reviewing some pieces from Lavitta over the past couple of months, and this is my final review. (You can read my previous reviews here and here). The Red floral bouquet illusion panel dress is currently out of stock, but their are…

Skechers shoe picks from Mastershoe Myshu
It is no secret that I am a total shoe addict. When it comes to things to wear on your feet, I make Imelda Marcos look restrained. I may have about 200 pairs, which range from designer names (Westwood, Sergio Rossi, Salvatore Ferragamo and Bally are a few that I love), high street finds, charity shop finds, and cult buys like Swedish Hasbeens and Irregular Choice. Boots, shoes, sandals, flip flops, wellies – I have and wear them all. I just can’t resist a new pair of shoes. ‘I just love the smell of shoe leather in the morning’ (guess which film I’m slightly misquoting???) One brand that is popular…
