Friday Fashion – Lovedrobe Stripe Print Bardot Top
There are certain fashion trends that make a comeback after a period in the fashion wilderness, and then decide to stick around. Maxi dresses are one such trend, kimono jackets are another, and now it seems we must add Bardot tops to the list. They made a reappearance last summer, and show no signs of leaving us, with High Street Stores and online shops full of a range of designs that all have one thing in common, they show our shoulders off to fabulous effect. And this is the major plus point of the Bardot top, because many of us will say we hate our arms, our tummies and our…

Holiday Picks From Dorothy Perkins
It was one of the main anomalies in the fashion world, just as you actually enter a season (i.e. Summer), then the sales start for that particular season (i.e. the Summer sales). We are just two weeks into June, and many of us are yet to take our Summer hols, with those who love cancellation bargains yet to even book their hols. And yet, this week has seen a whole host of stores start their summer sales. Which is great news for those of us who need to grab a new swimsuit, or a beach bag, or a knockout sundress, and love a bargain. If you are looking to do…

Summer In The City Sizzlers From Boden
In my last post I talked about staycations, and all the fun you can have if you are not going abroad this year. But the fact that you are not going away for a holiday does not mean that you can’t put together some very special looks for your Summer in the City. Weekend shopping trips with the girls, al fresco cocktails at your favourite bar, a picnic and some lounging time in the local park, all of this can be a chance to dress up in some of your new favourite pieces, in much the same way as Carrie Bradshaw always dressed up for New York. Great British brand…

Reviewed – Magic Bodyfashion Amazing Bra
As a fairly big busted lady, I can hold my hand on my heart and say I never go without a bra. I have an array of multiways bra’s that allow me to go strapless, wear halter necks and basically cope with anything that fashion happens to throw at me. But just occasionally I meet a dress for whom no bra would work, due to a completely backless nature. Yes, I could opt for a strapless bra, but this would be clearly visable from the back. I could try an halter neck style, but again, the back fastening would be obvious, and would spoil the dress. This is a dilemma…

May Outfit Posts
May was busy. In fact, May was an extremely busy month. It was filled with press shows, events and family time, and it also featured some sunshine, and weather that was decidedly sunny – hurray! That said, it almost ruined the Bank holiday by pouring with a rain storm that can only be described as biblical, which was a shame, as the Friday before the Whitsun bank holiday was hot, hot, hot. I was in Wales for the Bank holiday and have to say we had two nice days, and in Britain, two out of three isn’t bad. In terms of my wardrobe, May was filled with lots of my…
