The 70s are back!
I love the 70s. It’s definitely my favourite style decade. I love everything that was stylish about the decade. I love everything that was bad taste about the decade. I just love the 1970s! As a child of the 1970s I adored the girls from Abba, having a much treasured Agnetha doll wearing that satin cat print tunic.

So Fashion-Mommy threw on her glad rags, grab her leopard print t-bars and red lippy, and went with Hubby to see the wonderful Paloma Faith whilst Nanna and grandad looked after a somewhat truculent Baba. Fashion-Mommy loves dressing up, and has Paloma is one of my favourite style…

Reviewed – The Charlaine Leopard Print Sandals from K Jacques
I have a pair of sandals that I have been wearing to death lately. With a wooden heel and a glorious animal print leather design, they are both glamorous, elegant, and not only can I work in them, I can dance the night away. The shoes in question are the Charlaine Leopard Print sandals from the Saint Tropez company K Jacques, who have been producing hand made, bespoke shoes and sandals since 1933. K Jacques often have an association with the most stylish of sandals, with their designs being worn by the likes of Kate Moss, Emma Watson, Diane Kruger and Cheryl Cole. Their leather and suede designs, and the…

Spring Ideas To Revamp Your Bedroom
Spring is notoriously the time when we think about giving our homes a revamp, whether that be inside, or looking at the gardens and the exterior. One of the most important rooms in the home is our bedroom – we spend an awful not of time there, and it should be a place of comfort and relaxation, whilst also having the stamp of our personal style. If you are fortunate enough to have stayed in five star luxury accommodation, you will hopefully have had an experience that would be wonderful to re-create in your own bedroom. It needn’t cost a fortune to have a little luxury in your boudoir, here…
