Duchess Kate’s recent style triumphs
It has been a busy few weeks for Duchess Kate, and, as ever, stylewise she has not put a fashion foot wrong. As we expect from the Duchess, lots of outfits worn previously have made an appearance, but there have been some beautiful new outfits too, not least the magnificent dress that Kate wore last night at a pre-tour dinner before the Duke and Duchess embark on a trip to India and Bhutan. Kate’s beautiful dress was by Indian designer Saloni London, diplomatically paying tribute to their future hosts with this choice. I love this dress, which has the feel of a 1970s style maxi, with it’s sheer, flock style…

Review – Mandy’s heaven Silver Grey Silk Floaty Top
Mandy’s Heaven is a new fashion outlet that is aiming to offer women something a little different from the current High Street Offering. With an emphasis on women outside the teenage demographic that fashion is often aimed at, and with a size range that really does incorporate a one size fits all mentally, Mandy’s heaven aims to be inclusive of women that other fashion brands are often guilty of forgetting. I was recently asked if I would like to try out something from the current range of Mandy’s Heaven and I decided to choose the beautiful silver grey silk floaty top. It comes in one size, with a stretchy underlayer…

Getting your feet ready for summer.
I’ve spent most of the Easter holidays in Wales, where, at some points, it has been quite easy to enjoy four seasons in one day. Yes, we’ve had the heaviest of rain storms, snow when driving on mountain roads (quite scary to be honest), and the blusteriest of winds. But we’ve also had some glorious sunshine that proves that Spring is here, and that Summer is just around the corner, so today I am focusing my post and the often neglected area, the feet. Summer is a time when our feet really need to look their best, we literally live in sandals if the weather allows, and so parts of…

Cushion styles for Spring
Today I’m continuing my quest to suggest updates for your home for spring which won’t breakthe bank, and this time I am turning my attention to cushions. I am a great fan of cushions, both in terms of comfort and how they can change the look of a room, or, more specifically a piece of furniture. Cushions are a relatively affordable way to update a tired sofa, dress a plain bedset or change a colour scheme. For Spring, House of Fraser have a great range of cushions that range from scatter cushions for the living room, both in plain and patterned colour ways so that you can add colour, texture…

Add Sunshine to your accessories with Michael Kors
A new accessories collection from Michael Kors has launched exclusively at House of Fraser, and it is no exageration to say that this is a collection that will add summer and sunshine to your wardrobe. The Michael Kors Sunflower collection is absolutely gorgeous, made up of two handbags, 2 cross-body bags, a pouchette that could be used for travel documents, as a purse, or even as a small clutch bag, and a large, flapover, purse. The beauty of the collection is all in the colour, a bright and beautiful sunflower yellow. As someone who would quite happily wear yellow every single day, I am obsessed with this collection. It would…
