Wonderful Wednesday Shopping from Boden
It’s almost the end of the month, and for many of you I bet that month has seemed a really long one, the lull that comes after the Christmas period. But the end of the month is now near, and that means PAYDAY. If you are looking for a treat, a wardrobe update, or even a complete style overhaul, you need to pay a visit to the Boden site. Full of colour and spice, the latest Boden range is one of the best new season collections to hit the High Street this season. Truly offering something for everyone, in every colour of the rainbow, I am seriously impressed by this…

Reviewed – John Rocha mirror printed prom dress for Debenhams
January has been a time to try to shake off all those Christmas calories, and I have been trying numerous ways to do this. 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…

Friday Focus – M&Co’s monochrome magic

Think of Julia Roberts collecting her Oscar in Vintage Valentino, or Audrey Hepburn wearing Givenchy in Sabrina and you see the images of women looking classic and elegant in that most complimentary of colour combinations.

Friday shopping focus – Monsoon new in.
Monsoon can always be relied upon to produce something a little bit folky, a little bit boho and something eminently wearable, whatever the season. With many of the Christmas sales now well and truly over, or frankly not worth looking at, it is lovely to see some pretty prints, bright colours and great separates in store now. Spring may still be a long way away, but the crisp, clean lines of the Theodora Jacket, and that zesty pop of the Edith cardigan show a way to brighten your wardrobe, if not the actual weather. Let me know what you think of these stunning styles.

Capsule Wardrobe pieces from LK Bennett
When you approach a new fashion season, it is very easy to be blinded by all the fabulous new pieces that all the stores and websites are festooned with. But there is a train of thought that says that we should actually buy fewer pieces, but be far more careful about what we are actually buying. Gok Wan always seems to get this down to a perfect 26 items. This is the fabled capsule wardrobe, the specially selected pieces that are supposed to carry you through every occasion, mixing and matching perfectly to create a multitude of outfits, that look different enough that nobody realises you don’t actually own that…
