Spartoo – they do bags too!
As many regular Fashion-Mommy readers know, I am a huge fan of Spartoo – the online site which is a treasure trove for those who adore shoes. So imagine my excitement when I discovered that Spartoo now stocked bags too. If there’s one thing that I love as much as I love shoes – its bags, and Spartoo has a range of bags that has me salivating. Ranging from favourite designer names like Vivienne Westwood, Paul and Joe Sister and Guess, to hot high street labels like Benetton, Sisley and Desigual, every sort of bag is represented. I love that you can find everything from the funkiest rucksack for young…

Next launches a stunning new fragrance range
A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a very exciting product launch by Next. To be held at the plush Hempel Hotel in London, and concerned with all things fragrance, beauty and pampering, I was really looking forward to the event when disaster struck.

It was a foregone conclusion what my answer would be when I received an email asking whether I would like to experience a Giorgio Armani make-up masterclass with their international face designer Cesar Santos.

So last Thursday I travelled into Birmingham for a lesson in creating the perfect face. And I was placed firmly into the hands of a master. Cesar Santos has created looks for some of the World’s most famous faces, including Penelope Cruz and Kim Cattrell. More recently, he…

Christmas shopping wrapped up – Ted Baker.
With the days to Christmas just flying by, I’m here with a few more shopping gems that any fashionista would be so pleased to find in their Christmas stocking. This time the focus is on Ted Baker, who have outdone themselves with a great accessory range that includes laptop bags, purses and cute clutch bags. These are items that will make great gifts for sisters, friends and yummy mummy’s, although I have my eye on the laptop bag. And for fans of the Wizard of Oz, there are the most beautiful pair of shoes that Dorothy would probably have killed 10 wicked witches to get too. So add these little…
