Boden – 40% off Partywear – My Top Ten Pieces
And the sales and discounts go on and on, tempting us to part with more of that well earned cash in order to get all festive ready, sparkling and glamorous. Next up on my trawl of current offers available in store and online is Boden. In recent years I’ve loved that Boden has took a very retro route with it’s collections, with many pieces have full 1950s style skirts, or being 1960s shift shapes. In this post we can also add some full length options, as well as glittery shoes. The shoes include those beaded pumps which seem to have appeared on every Instagram feed, outfit post and wishlist since…

The seasonal sales continue with Wallis
So Cyber Monday came and went, and Black Friday is little more than a rather bruising distant memory, but that doesn’t mean the sales and discounts are gone. Now is actually a brilliant time to find yourself a bargain buy, but without any of the crushes, the falling televisions and the hype. As we move closer to the big day I am going to try to share some more Christmas gift ideas for the whole family, along with fashion pieces that can carry you from walking around a Christmas market, to feasting on the turkey, and enjoying the ultimate dress up night – New Year’s Eve. I’m starting with some…

Reviewed – Lace and Jersey Dress from Kaliko
On Friday night I was lucky enough to attend the press night for the Birmingham Royal Ballet’s opening of The Nutcracker. It was really enjoyable, a truly wonderful night, and it was made even better by having the chance to wear another beautiful dress from Kaliko. I find that Kaliko dresses have a timeless elegant quality – you always feel good wearing them. This dress was no exception to the rule – I think it is just lovely. The dress in question is ‘Lace and Jersey dress’, which is currently in the sale as Black Friday weekend continues. The dress is in a very soft jersey fabric, with plenty of…

Playtex Round the Clock with 24H soft
I was recently contacted to see if I would be interested in taking part in a challenge being organised by Playtex. Entitled ‘Round the Clock with 24H soft’, the challenge was to put the new 24H soft hosiery through its paces, by wearing the tights from morning until night. I was then asked to blog about my experiences of the tights – it was a challenge I was happy to take part in. As a person who is always happiest in dresses and skirts, I tend to wear tights quite a bit. But being tall and long-legged, but with a fuller figure, I often struggle to find tights that are…

Beauty Review – Kiehl’s Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturising Serum Concentrate
In August I attended a special Bloggers event held by the Bullring, and I was introduced to a product that was not actually hitting stores until later that month. The product was from Kiehl’s – a brand I totally love, and it promised to do all sorts of wonderful things to the appearance of the skin. I was totally desperate to try this product out, and, I have to say, after doing so, I’ve not been disappointed. The product was the Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturising Serum Concentrate. This is a serum that promises to improve the overall appearance of skin’s plumpness, while smoothing the look of fine lines and skin texture. As…
