Channel Meghan Markle This Christmas Party Season
I have a new style crush. On Tuesday Prince Harry delighted the nation when it was announced that he had finally popped the question to the divine American actress Meghan Markle. Meghan, the star of the hit series ‘Suits’ is a princess for the 21st century, mixed race, a feminist, sassy and independent, and the fact that they seem so well suited and totally in love is a really lovely story in our increasingly miserable times. Meghan’s wardrobe is certainly going to be under scrutiny, and her winter white coat which she wore for the engagement announcement crashed the Line the Label website and showed that the ‘Kate Effect’ may…

Partywear From Wallis
The dark nights can almost be used as an extra excuse to sparkle and shine (have to get the Nativity pun in there as I watched it last night!). Winter is almost here and it is dark and cold by 5/30pm, but after dark is the perfect time to break out the high octane glamour. It’s time to party! Wallis is always a good destination if you are looking for a party outfit, and this season they have some great dresses that could earn their keep in your wardrobe all through party season and beyond. Coco Chanel would be pleased that her chic ‘Little black dress’ is well represented, remaining…

It was high octane glamour all the way, and I must admit I often take my style cues from this period. This is certainly the case with my current favourite dress which comes from Lovedrobe. Lovedrobe is a company that knows how to dress curves. Creating designs in sizes that…

Party Dresses – Whatever your style!
Put 10 different women in a room and ask them to describe their ideal Christmas party dress. The one thing that is absolutely certain is that they will describe then different dresses. There may be some similarities, maybe quite a few of them will opt for a little black dress of some variety, or a dress with sleeves will be a popular choice, but, ultimately, the dresses will be different and unique. With that in mind I have collated a collection of 25 dresses that should cover all bases. There are maxi dresses, midi frocks and flirty minis. There are dresses with sleeves and those that are completely strapless. We…
