Millie Mackintosh Jewellery collection for Dorothy Perkins
She is probably my favourite style icon to emerge from ‘Made in Chelsea’, and now she is further venturing into the world of fashion with a jewellery collection for High Street favourite Dorothy Perkins. Millie Mackintosh continues her move away from the TV world with a gorgeous range of jewellery which she says draws inspiration from her family heirlooms (her family are the Mackinstosh family who invented Quality Street), and from vintage pieces that she has picked up on her travels. The range was launched at Dorothy Perkins this week and looks set to be an instant success. Millie is an acknowledged lover of jewellery, she made many of the…

Boohoo Plus size range just gets better
It is no secret that I’m a real fan of the plus size range that Boohoo introduced late last year. I have quite a few pieces in my wardrobe and they tick a whole lot of boxes. They are well sized – if anything they can be quite generous, they are superbly priced, and the style and quality have both proven to be pretty good. Now Boohoo are further extending the collection, with pretty much anything you need for Autumn/Winter included in the latest collection. The dress I am reviewing on the blog today is now in the sale, and I would say it is an absolute bargain if you…

The Bullring Autumn Fashion Fix
Last weekend we saw the annual Bullring Autumn Fashion Fix bringing a spot of TOWIE glamour to the iconic shopping centre. Two of the main stars from the ITV2 series, ‘The Only Way is Essex’, Sam and Billie Faiers, were in the 2nd City to present a fashion show high on style, but with many pieces plucked from the High Street. This year’s show promised to be a guide to the season’s must have trends, and it certainly delivered on that front. Comprising of 6 key scenes;- ‘The Cosmo Edit’, ‘Faux Fur’, ‘Tapestry Folk’, ‘Shades of Red’, ‘New Pastels’ and, finally, ‘Metallics’, this was a show with one eye firmly…

Reviewed – Navy Lace Shift Dress from Kaliko
Last Thursday saw one of the most swish, stylish events in the Midlands fashion calender. The Harvey Nichols fashion show is always full of fashion, fizz and supremely stylish looks – an event where everyone dresses to impress. I was a little stumped for what to wear for this particular show as it was taking place in a specially constructed space in the Mailbox car park, so I was worried it might be a little cold, and I also wanted something bright to stand out amongst the grey and concrete. Luckily, Kaliko had the perfect dress. Kaliko is part of the Jacques Vert group, (along with Planet, Precis Petite and…

George at Asda – The Autumn Checklist
Asda have just launched their latest drop, ‘The Autumn Checklist’, and it is full of wearable, reasonably priced pieces that can get you can start wearing now, and then enjoy all through the colder months of the year. I know I often say that a collection has something for everyone, but I really do think this one covers all bases. It has a lovely range of knitwear that is perfect for every day style – the school run, doing a bit of shopping, watching the kids play football at the weekend. There are some gorgeous chunky jumpers and ponchos which allow you the smart, casual look, and to be warm…
