Pack Light with Multi-tasking Designer Pieces
If you’re looking forward to a suitcase summer, what to wear on holiday is one of the most important considerations. Packing light can be difficult, especially for extended holidays or if you are headed somewhere with unpredictable weather – picking pieces which tick all the boxes is a must if you want to stay within your budget airline’s luggage restrictions. Pick items which are all colour-coordinated, easy to wash, and can work in both formal and casual situations. Dresses are great for these situations – wear them with tights and a leather jacket when the fog rolls in, with sandals and sunnies at the beach, or with heels and a…

However, this year’s new season swimwear is fun, playful and (best of all) flattering – many brands are now offering figure-control swimwear that ranges from swimming costumes with tummy-control panels to shaping bikinis with high-waisted retro bottoms.

And Fashion-Mommy was lucky enough to get a sneak preview of what you can expect when I was invited to a pre-opener taste testing session at one of the new restaurants, Browns Brasserie.

Win! Ylang Ylang Incensa with Bodhi and Fashion-Mommy!
As regular readers to Fashion-Mommy know, I am a huge fan of Bodhi toiletries. I first became aware of this brand when I received some travel bottles in a Harvey Nichols goodie bag, and I became addicted to the fabulous scents that left your skin feeling silky smooth and pampered. My favourite product has to be the Ylang Ylang Incensa bath therapy. I said that this reminded me of my trips to Thailand, with all its exotic scents of flowers and blooms, so it did not come as a surprise to find out that Elijah Choo, the founder of Bodhi, had been inspired by his travels to exotic far-flung places.…
