ASOS Autumn Preview – My wishlist
Next up in my preview of the new Autumn season is ASOS. In terms of style, I always think ASOS is the most eclectic of the online fashion stores, the place where you can find literally anything, whether you are looking for current trends, classic pieces, or Avant Garde new designers. Stocking its own range, and then brands and designers such as Monki, Warehouse, Sisley, Aldo, Cheap Monday and American Apparel, ASOS makes the new season exciting by the sheer number of products it has available. There are currently some good ASOS voucher codes available at Fashionbeans which offer free delivery and returns, making now a good time for that…

Boden – The new Shoes
I saw a very funny picture yesterday that was emblazoned with the statement ‘It is ok to love your shoes more than you love most people’. I would say that when the shoes in question are Boden’s new season stock, this becomes an absolute statement of fact. Take a look at the gorgeous array of footwear below and tell me in all honesty – have you ever seen anything more gorgeous? In recent years Boden have become synonymous with shoes that you have to have in your collection. Each season they have an ‘it shoe’ that the media and bloggers alike just seem to go crazy about. I’ve already seen…

A weekend Wardrobe on a budget
August 6th was a milestone for myself and hubby Pete, as we celebrated 10 years of marriage. To celebrate, we spent a really romantic weekend in the utterly gorgeous Bowness on Windermere, enjoying a weekend of glorious sunshine and amazing scenery and food. For once, I decided to pack light, and with a bit of a them. I only packed dresses, opted for bright shoes and kept accessories to a minimum. I decided to take a couple of sales bargains, a couple of vintage finds and a current favourite dress that is made for summer nights. This is a very quick outfit post to show what I chose to wear…

New Season florals from George at Asda
When it comes to supermarket style, George at Asda always seems to have me filling my trolley with something other than milk. (Topical joke there folks.) Affordable, fresh and constantly updated, George at Asda never ceases to amaze people when they comment positively on your outfit and you say ‘George’, and then quote them a ridiculous price. Add into the mix the fab kids clothes and you have plenty of reasons to be doing that pocket slap. The George A/W press day showed off some great new pieces that are now starting to hit stores. 70s trends and boho pieces with lots of paisley prints are the order of the…
