Boohoo embrace the 70s with Kimonos and flares
When we look back at the summer of 2015 in fashion terms, we will remember it as the year the 70s had a revival. It has been virtually impossible to escape 70s style this season, almost all High street, online and designer brands have done their version of the fashion of the 1970s. A decade that used to be considered one that style had forgotten, it is now seen as a era when new and vibrant designs by the likes of Zandra Rhodes, Bill Gibb, Halston and Betsey Johnson all contributed to a really exciting time in fashion.

Cadenzza – The designer Jewellery store arrives in Birmingham
Designer jewellery boutique Cadenzza arrived in Birmingham recently, and last month saw the store launched officially with a very special party.

Dressing up your jeans with High Street Outlet
There are times when I thank heavens for jeans. As a general rule I live in skirts and dresses, but there are just some mornings when I reach for the nearest pair of jeans, a simple t-shirt, and head off on the school run. There are also times when the weather isn’t great, and a night out involves slightly more walking than just car-to-bar, and that is when the old staple of jeans, heels and a pretty top comes into its own. This weekend I was in Blackpool, and a night out consisted of a long walk along the promenade, making the most of the good weather, then a few…

Reviewed – Oxygen Charlotte sandals from Mastershoe-Myshu
In recent years, the trend when it comes to sandals has been that anything goes. Before that, there seemed to be a key trend every season. But now there are numerous sorts of sandals that suit those who want to wear them for style purposes, and those who want to wear them for comfort. And then there are those who want both style, and comfort, and this is where Oxygen sandals step up to the plate. (See what I did there…) Oxygen sandals have created the Charlotte design that takes the best elements of Birkenstocks and combine them with fashionable features like pretty rustic flowers and a string toe post. …
