Christmas Jumpers from BHS
Aah Christmas jumpers. Once something only worn by embaressing uncles, or children who had been forced to wear one of nan’s awful knitting creations, the Christmas jumper has now passed into that so bad it is brilliant catagory, and they even have their own day dedicated to them. (I believe it is December 18th this year, but don’t quote me.) It seems that if you are getting into the Christmas spirit, you need to get yourself a Christmas jumper. Luckily, not all designs are garish and unwearable. Every year BHS seems to come up trumps with designs that are both cute and cuddly. Robins, penguins, polar bears and pretty Christmas…

My first fashion wishlist for 2015
Before I start to talk about my first fashion wishlist for 2015 (I’m thinking of doing regular updates as the new season lines start to arrive in store) I think I need to explain that this is a wishlist – rather than a what I really need list. Confused? Well let me explain. A recent trawl through my wardrobe has shown there are some real gaps in the clothes I own. I have nowhere near enough jeans and trousers, as proved as I have tried to grab for these for the rather cold school run, and have then discovered they are all in the wash. I really need a good…

New season focus – BHS
In recent seasons BHS has seen a style revival that puts it right at the top of the list for stylish, yet affordable clothing. In addition to housing Wallis and Dorothy Perkins concessions, their own branded clothing has become something that is definitely worth looking at. Last year I wore BHS dresses to two major Midland fashion events, the Harvey Nichols fashion show, and Style Birmingham Live after party, and both dresses got lots of compliments, and a few shocked looks when I said ‘It’s from BHS.’ This season, a few pieces have already been appearing in the press and eliciting really positive comments for the style, cut and colours…

BHS new season dresses – from casual to glamour
In recent years, BHS has really upped its game when it comes to clothing. No longer the place you visit for homewares and bedding, BHS now has a great range of fashion looks, as well as concessions in store that stock other Arcadia brands, Wallis and Dorothy Perkins. With the new Spring/Summer ranges now just appearing in stores, now is a good time to examine what BHS has to offer. I’m pleased to say that the collection is really lovely, offering a dress for all occasions. There are some very pretty, retro inspired sun dresses, the candy striped shirt dress in bubblegum pink is a lovely piece that will be…

BHS A/W 13 – Fifty shades of Grey
Continuing with my trawl around the new Autumn/Winter ranges arriving in shops every day, I’m now turning my attention to BHS. Once the domain of little old ladies looking for twinsets and sensible skirts, in recent years BHS has seen Dorothy Perkins and Wallis concessions hit stores, as well as developing its own range in Sophie Grey. It is now most definitely a place to add to your Saturday shopping list, and if you are online, you can make great savings with a BHS promo code. The striking thing about the current BHS collection is the use of grey as a great base colour for the range. Grey is always…
