Dress season from Phase Eight – Ladies Day dressing solved
I am very excited to say I’m going to the Aegon Classic ladies day at the Edgbaston Priory Club as a guest of the club. Ladies Day is always a glamorous occasion when women dig out their summer finery and seriously dress to impress. And with Royal Ascot and Wimbledon also coming up in the next few weeks, it is clear that beautiful dresses are going to be a very important part of our summer wardrobe. Phase Eight should, therefore, be a major calling point on any shopping trip. Their range of dresses this season are quite simply stunning, with styles ranging from 1950s full-skirted, to slinky column styles. There…

Friday Shopping Special – Wallis
The Friday shopping special this week is all about Wallis. One of my fave High Street brands who create a lot of the clothes I wear in my own life, Wallis always embraces a range of style, colour and design classics in its ranges. This season there is a great emphasis on bright and tropical splashes of summer, so needed when the weather doesn’t seem to have received the memo, but there are also great pieces of classic tailoring, jackets that would serve you from season to season, and an amazing array of accessories that can lift and update your wardrobe in a second. Today Wallis is offering up to…

New Kardashian Kollection launches at Dorothy Perkins
The second collection from the Kardashian sisters for Dorothy Perkins has launched today, and I think it is even better than the first. Using a palette of black, white, creams and greys, mixed with the softest shade of baby pink, the latest collection is a combination of feminine tailoring and body hugging Kardashian dresses, showing off the individual personalities of Khloe, Kourtney and Kim. There is a lot to admire about this collection. I love the ombre style dip dye blazer in pink merging into purple, this would look amazing with jeans or over tailored black trousers. The white bodycon dress is beautiful, making the little white dress a great…

Emma Forbes Loves for BHS
Following on from last year’s success collaboration with Karen Brady, which tailored a collection of perfect work dresses, BHS are again teaming up with a well-known TV personality in order to showcase a range of beautiful dresses. This time the lady in question is Emma Forbes, and the dresses are now as far removed from daytime wear as they could possibly be. The focus is on occasion wear – summer weddings, a day at the races, ladies day’s from Ascot to Wimbledon, graduation ceremonies, garden parties and any other summer occasion that I may have forgotten. Emma has teamed up with BHS to cherry pick from their wide range of…

Reviewed – Roland Klein Spot dress from Marisota
Marisota is one of those companies that I have heard about, but I’d never actually tried any of their products. But recently I was asked if I would like to review an item from their site, so I spent a lovely night browsing through a really impressive website in order to choose an item. Marisota has a great range that is stocked in sizes 12-32, offering high fashion and style classics to suit all tastes, as well as a great swimwear and holiday collection from Melissa Odabash. Somewhat predictably, I chose a dress. It came from the Roland Klein range that is a Marisota exclusive. Roland was formally an assistant…
