New season wardrobe updates from Boden
It always seems strange to be talking about ‘new season’ fashion when we are firmly entrenched in the current season, and that seems odder still when the current season is winter. But now is the time when stores and websites start to get the new season drops, ones which point to brighter, warmer days. I am going to be looking at a lot of the new season ranges from the High Streets in upcoming weeks, but am going to start where I always seem to start, with the rather wonderful new collection from Boden. I guess what I love about this collection from Boden is that it is very much…

Trilogy at John Lewis Birmingham
Last month I wrote about my evening spent with John Lewis Birmingham, finding out about the Loved and Found department that is such an amazing addition to the John Lewis brand. This post is almost a second part to Loved and Found, with the focus being on the Trilogy department that is concerned with denim, and the perfect companion pieces to wear with jeans. Trilogy promises to find you the perfect pair of jeans within three tries, hence the name, and I can honestly say they found mine on the first attempt, along with some great pieces to ensure that opting for denim is no longer just a casual, dressed…

For someone like me, who loves glamour and sequins, faux fur and pretty dresses, I always try to make the most of all those opportunities to get dressed up, and although this is not a comprehensive list of everything I have worn for the festive period, these are some of my favourites. It is also a post that is definitely demarcated by illness.…

Style focus – Alice Eve
Alice Eve is one of those actresses who has quietly been creeping into our minds in 2015. She’s been around for quite a while, (I remember her in the BBC adaptation of ‘The Rotters Club’ quite a few years ago and she was pretty great in that) and has starred in films like Starter for Ten and Sex and the City 2, but 2015 has seen her emerge as one to watch, and 2016 will see her star with Hollywood luminaries such as Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins. Winning the genetic lottery has also helped her to stand out, as the daughter of Trevor Eve and Sharon Maughan she could…
