I’m planning a holiday wardrobe…
Sometimes, an event that has caused you undue grief can have a happy ending. And so it has proved for me. A long-running case looking at professional negligence has been finally closed in favour of a close family member (will not bore you with all the details, but really, some companies are just not worth working for under any circumstances), and with it finally at an end, all thoughts have turned to having a family holiday, abroad, for the first time in a couple of years. And boy, is that an exciting thought! So, at the end of June I will be jetting off for two weeks in the sun,…

Reviewed – Poppy Print Dress from Scarlett and Jo
I’ve been a fan of Scarlett and Jo ever since I saw that gorgeous picture of some gorgeous plus size bloggers wearing the Side panel dress. My thoughts were immediately – ‘here is a company who understands that curvier ladies want something to enhance their figures rather than hide them.’ I then got the chance to meet the lovely ladies at the Plus Size Fashion Weekend, and was again really impressed by the brand ethos and the stylish pieces they were producing. So when I was asked if I would like to review the Poppy Print dress, it really wasn’t an difficult decision. If you can shout YES over an…

Monochrome chic from Evans
Despite the fact that I am one of the greatest advocates of colour in your wardrobe, there is something undeniably chic about monochrome. Classic black and white will always be a wardrobe staple, something that is perfect for you work outfits, glamorous for important occasions like a day at the races, a family wedding or a black tie event. Timeless and classic, black and white outfits stay in the wardrobe forever, the colour combo never goes out of style and will always be a fashion failsafe. This season, Evans have made monochrome a key part of its Spring/Summer collections, and have shown its versatility. There are cute, fun prints with…

Easter Sales – some of my top picks from Next, M&S and Mothercare
With Easter comes those mid-season sales, although it is hard to think we are actually in the new season at the moment, with the wintry blasts still ruling the weather fronts, and winter woolies the items we are all grabbing from our wardrobes. But in many ways, the weather makes it the ideal time to grab for some bargains. There are some great bargains from last season out there that are still perfect with the inclement conditions we are experiencing, whilst there are also some great new season colours and picks that you can buy now and wear later. With Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins and Wallis all having flash sales, there…
