The yellow peril – colour of the season?
When I am asked my favourite colour I say, with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever, “YELLOW”. It has been my favourite forever, and this season, it seems to be having a bit of a moment, at least according to the bible that is Vogue. When I think of yellow, I think of some of my favourite ever dresses. I wore a gorgeous cotton sundress in canary yellow whilst I was four months pregnant to walk around Barcelona in the sunshine, it seemed the perfect choice. I had a favourite pair of ASOS sky-high Mary Janes in patent mustard that I was wearing when I fell out of hubbys car – breaking…

I love the feel of getting something new, of finding a bargain, of treating myself, or a loved one, to something that has been admired, but may have been too expensive, and has maybe had to be saved for.

My favourite star of the show (so far) has to be the truly lovely Judy Rose, the warm and funny front of house lady who gives the Liberty reception such a welcoming feel. Judy has put together her festive…

Selfridges Destination Christmas
Even in the realms of Christmas in July events, there is always something super special about Selfridges Christmas in July. For fans of the festive season, it is truly destination Christmas. Held in the industrial confines of the Old Selfridges Hotel, this years event had snow, a giant Polar Bear, a Kate Spade pop up shop and some of the most mouth-watering gorgeous food treats I have ever tasted. There were also William and Kate Christmas cards, dancing pigs from Giffords Circus, a Tatty Devine ‘make your own bracelet’ stand and so much more… The one thing I always love about Selfridges Christmas events are the range of items that…

Celebrity style focus featuring Alexa Chung, Kate and Pippa Middleton and Millie Mackintosh
Summer style has been rather tricky to achieve this year, what with us not actually having any real Summer to speak of. But our favourite celebrities are showing us that, whatever the weather, style is easy to achieve. Glamorous celebrities, from the newly single and fabulous Katie Holmes, to more homegrown stars like Millie Mackintosh from Made in Chelsea, have been photographed sporting beautifully groomed looks, some of which are actually from the High Street, others that have seen the High Street foster similar designs. Here are some of the top spots from July so far. Michelle Keegan and Katie Holmes Black and white have seen a resurgence in recent…
