Seriously Stylish Sales Picks
I made my first venture to the sales yesterday, and I’m still shuddering at the thought of it. I’m sure there were a great many bargains to be found, but you had to search hard amongst the rails of unmitigated rubbish, with pulls, rips, missing sequins seeming to be the order of the day. The rule of the sales is get there early, when they first start, in order to pick up real bargains. With many of the ‘new years sales’ now starting before Christmas, by the time you get to New Year, you are often faced with items better left to the dustbin than the bargain bin. And this…

Well. if there was any doubt that Summer is now but a distant, beautiful, memory, the cold mornings and the biting wind and rain have been enough to show us that Autumn is here and that Winter is not far away.

Get the Duchess of Cambridge’s latest look at Boden
The Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted looking very slim and elegant, shopping on the Island of Anglesey. And whilst the press have been focusing on the lack of any remaining baby bump, I must admit to being far more interested in Kate’s outfit, which I think is a great transitional fashion look, perfect for shopping trips and the school run. Kate’s outfit is a masterclass in classic separates. A Ralph Lauren Breton top, teamed with a pair of black skinny jeans. Add the neutral shoes from Sebago and Kate looks smart yet casual. Many people look at Breton tops as a great spring trend, but they are equally good…

Boden: Brights vs White Hot
When it comes to summer I always find I have a schizophrenic wardrobe. On the one hand I am just longing to add colour of any description, from citrus lemons and oranges, to shocking pinks, azure blue and apple green (I even found myself taking a picture of a blue sky with green trees against it for colour inspiration. But on the other hand, when I start to think of my holiday packing I;m drawn to the cool, crisp, freshness of white, in cotton, and linen, with natural straw bags and gold or silver sandals to offset the starkness of the palette. This season, Boden is offering you the chance…

Boden – Top Ten Dresses for Every Occasion
I am totally besotted by the latest collection of dresses from Boden. Featuring a mouthwatering palette of colour, and a range of styles to suit all tastes and body shapes, Boden are again showing that when you need a dress for an occasion, they are definitely the shopping destination of choice. The 60s styling which seems to becoming Boden’s trade mark is still around, with the Wardour dress having that early 1960s silhouette favourited by Doris Day in those Rock Hudson paired comedies like Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back. The zesty yellow of the lace dress is sheer sixties ‘dollybird’ and has been styled as such, think Brigitte Bardot…
