Searching for the Perfect Spring Dress
For a few days at the end of last week, and the beginning of this, I got that Spring feeling. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. I was wearing a blazer rather than a heavy overcoat, and I had started to think about Summer, planning a holiday, musing about getting some tickets for a festival (I really fancy going to the Isle of Wight festival this year and combining it with a bit of a holiday for Hubby and Joe too), and generally imagining myself spending copious amounts of time on a sun lounger drinking Pimms! I also started thinking about my wardrobe too, and in particular,…

Friday shopping focus -Designer at Debenhams key sales picks
For my Friday shopping focus this week I thought I would start with a little look at Debenhams, who are holding a special three day sale. Everything across the store and online has some level of discount, making this the perfect weekend to treat yourself, or pick up something that you have needed for a long time (the wants versus the needs!). In particular, you can find some really fantastic offers on new lines from the ‘Designers at Debenhams’ section. This collection has long been a great place to source quality pieces and designs, with designers like Jasper Conran, Betty Jackson, Ben De Lisa and Marios Schwab all producing fabulous…

From lots of brisk walks during the school run, which seems to be getting longer and more arduous during this spell of bad weather, to considering the benefits of XLS Medical as an aid to weight loss, I’ve been trying all sorts of ways to shift some of those extra pounds. And it seems to have worked, I’ve already dropped a dress size in just a few weeks, something I’m quite proud of. So, when I was offered the chance to choose a Debenhams dress as…

Flash by Jimmy Choo – now at Debenhams
I have a new favourite perfume. ‘Flash‘ by Jimmy Choo is the 2nd fragrance from the famed shoe designer, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Scented with white flowers, and with elements of pink pepper and strawberry, this is a wonderfully intoxicating and sweet-smelling fragrance that lingers in the air long after you have spritzed it. Encased in a wonderful Art Deco styled bottle that resembles a flashbulb, and with a pretty lavender coloured perfume, ‘Flash’ has the look of something you would’ve found on Jean Harlow’s dressing table. But the scent itself has a modern edge, reminding me of the original Juicy Couture fragrance. The strawberry and pink pepper come…

Competition time with Debenhams
One of the most exciting things about the coming of Christmas is the fabulous Christmas adverts that the great British Department present us with. This year one of the most magical and beautiful is the one advertising Debenhams. A beautiful lady traveling home for Christmas, witnessing equally beautiful people dressed for the party season in a series of gorgeous outfits from the designer at Debenhams team. Add in a few of those designers as hard at work as Santa’s elves at this time of year and an exquisite ending featuring a cavalcade of lights, and you have a truly wonderful portrayal of Christmas. For those who haven’t viewed it, here…
