F&F Halter Neck dress – Perfect for Day and Night
Holiday packing calls in a lot of elements, especially if you are going away for longer than a week. You need enough clothing to take you to the beach, the pool, sightseeing and then out for the evening where you may be dining, or dancing the night away. But baggage allowances seem to be falling every year, with some tour operators now only allowing 15kilos. So, finding versatile pieces that can be worn for both daytime and evening is a good move to keep the weight of your case down. The F&F halter neck dress is a piece that does just that. Although the style is halter neck, this is…

An F&F Autumn fashion preview
It might seem to be a bit perverse that just as summer is finally upon us, we start to look at the next season, Autumn and Winter. But fashion is like that, Spring is the season of the Autumn/Winter press days and today I have some of the shots from the F&F Clothing collections that will appear in stores from August. Like Spring/Summer, the big news story is the 1970s. No longer the decade that style forgot, we are now seeing all the best elements – tailored flares and culottes, silk long sleeved blouses with pussy bow ties and printed tea dresses with knee high boots. We are also seeing…

Boohoo – My style icon
When I was asked if I would like to take part in the Boohoo.com ‘My Style Icon’ challenge, I was instantly intrigued and interested.

I had to think about this long and hard. I love the style of many varied women. The retro style of Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Marianne Faithfull…

Packing for an Easter break
We finally break up for Easter tomorrow, and the following day, we are heading for a welcome Easter break in beautiful Wales. It is a trip that will be dominated with the great outdoors, be it the hills and mountains of Snowdonia, or the beaches of Barmouth and Aberdovey. I am totally looking forward to it, but with the weather currently so changeable (we had hail yesterday for goodness sake) what to pack is a little tricky. The weather forecasts are suggesting that light rain showers will be occurring throughout the weekend, and so I’m guessing that I will be living in jeans. Luckily I have some great new jeans…

Introducing High Street Outlet
This week, a lovely lady called Julie got in touch with my via the medium of Twitter (how did we ever live without it?) to see if I was interested in hearing a little more about her company and possibly reviewing some of the products they sell. The company is High Street Outlet, and a quick look around the website made me very interested in both the concept and the stock it sells. You know when you have one of those ‘How much?’ moments, but in a good way? Well High Street Outlet gives you those moments time and time again. The reason for this is simple. How would you…
