A Grand Central John Lewis Focus
You would probably need to have been living on the moon or planet Mars not to know that last week was a very special one for Birmingham. Grand Central Birmingham had its official opening and is already proving to be a huge success, not least because of its amazing flaghip John Lewis store. I went along on Thursday to the opening and was just so impressed with how lovely it really is, and from the thousands of people who descended on the city last weekend, and the huge buzz you could feel everywhere, I guess I am not the only one. The John Lewis store is bright and vibrant, with…

Super new Next store opens at The Fort shopping Centre
An invitation to have a sneak preview of one of my favourite stores on the morning it opened was an opportunity that was far too good to miss, so on Thursday 13th June I took a trip to The Fort shopping complex with the lovely Emily Jayne to visit the giant new Next store. The first thing to say is that the new store is truly huge. Covering 25,588sq.ft, it is double the size of the previous Next store on the same complex, and has created a 100 new jobs for the area, which is fantastic news. The store has also created new concessions within the store, the most exciting…

Next week will see the most romantic day of the year arrive. Valentine’s Day is all about hearts and flowers, and showing someone how much you love them. But, if we’re honest, men don’t always get it right. My mom once received a rather ugly fleecy dressing gown, a good friend once got a bottle of Oil of Ulay and a foot scrubber. Men do often need a guiding hand to point them in the right direction, and turning pages over on the designer bags in magazines doesn’t always achieve the desired effect. But fear not. Fashion-Mommy has got a fab selection of ideas that are available from two of…

Ugg Australia launches a new store in Birmingham
A few weeks ago I was invited to take a look around a rather special new store. Ugg Australia was just about to launch a new, stand alone store in Birmingham, and I was offered the opportunity to take a little look around before the official opening. The idea of being let loose in a shop chocked full with shoes and boots was just to good to turn down, so, battling sinusitis, I made a trip to the new store…and it was well worth the visit. I think we all have a pre-conceived notion of what we will find in an Ugg Store. Ugg boots are a modern phenomenon, the…

Dress yourself Slimmer with Pavilions
I just don’t do diets. Whether it’s down to lack of willpower or love of chocolates, I don’t even make those resolutions anymore. I know I won’t get past January 2nd before I reach for a Snicker. To make matters worse,I don’t really like the gym either, in fact, the idea of the gym brings me out in hives. But these days, it’s good to know that there are ways to make yourself appear slimmer and more toned without resorting to a treadmill, lettuce leaf diet or liposuction. You can actually ‘Dress yourself slim’. Pavilions Birmingham has embarked on a special campaign called ‘Positively Stylish – beat the blues with…
