Ultimate Christmas gifts for her
In my latest gift guide I am focusing on some gifts for the lady in your life. This could be your mother or your daughter, your sister or your aunt, your niece or your nan. It could even be your best friend or a teacher. Everyone has a special lady who you want to treat to an extra special present, so this is a list that is well worth bookmarking for ideas and inspiration. I have focused on four different stores and websites. I’m starting with Selfridges, who this year are wishing us all a starry Christmas with their constellation/celestial ranges. My absolute number one pick from Selfridges in terms…

Shopping At Talbots Is A Pleasure
Sometimes shopping can be a nightmare, whether it’s the traffic, the crowds or sales associates who are annoyed when you ask for help. With saving money being a top priority for many retailers, sometimes the quality of the items they sell suffers greatly. It’s pretty easy to notice the button that falls off the day you wore that blouse or the seam in your pants is starting to tear after only wearing it twice. This is the reason why a company like Talbots has been able to last for more than 68 years and still going strong. Their dedication and total commitment to its customers and quality of the products…

Party Dresses – Whatever your style!
Put 10 different women in a room and ask them to describe their ideal Christmas party dress. The one thing that is absolutely certain is that they will describe then different dresses.

With that in mind I have collated a collection of 25 dresses that should cover all bases. There are maxi dresses, midi frocks and flirty minis. There are dresses with sleeves and those that are completely strapless. We…

Christmas Glamour from Phase Eight & Studio 8
When it comes to glamorous occasion dressing, Phase Eight can always be relied upon. And now, Sister brand Studio 8 is also continuing the good work, with beautiful pieces that go up to size 24. With Christmas less than 40 days away, this post is dedicated to pieces that can be worn over the Christmas period, from Christmas day celebrations, to partying the night away on New Year’s Eve. But this post does come with a difference. Regular readers of this blog will know that I am obsessed with dresses, and that when it comes to evening wear, I always step towards the dress rail. This post, however, does not…

Lily Charmed review – Merry Christmas My Deer
Earlier this month I posted about my favourite picks from the lovely Lily Charmed jewellery collection (you can find that post here), and today I am focusing on just one necklace, the gorgeous, sterling silver reindeer charm. This is a gift that would be perfect for just about anyone, from a young girl choosing her first piece of jewellery, to your gran who still loves something that has a touch of quirkiness attached to it. The reindeer is a lovely, much loved symbol of Christmas, and is a great idea if you want to add a festive touch to your look, but are not so keen on wearing a Christmas…
