Gudrun Sjoden and the perfect Christmas Day Dress
Certain colours have certain connotations. Yellow seems to typify Spring – Daffodils, sunshine and all things bright and new. Autumn is all brown and bronzes, those crunchy leaves and golden sunsets. Halloween can only mean black and gothic, and Christmas is all about red – holly, advent candles and a certain man in a red suit. When I’m looking for something to wear on Christmas day, it is rare that I step away from red in some shape or form. This year, Gudrun Sjoden have created the perfect Christmas Day dress. It’s red, it’s velour, it’s stretchy for extra turkey and trimmings, and it has long sleeves. It is the…

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…

Spotlight on JD Williams
One of the main problems with being a blogger based outside London is that you sometimes get invited to fabulous events that you just can@t attend. Such was the case last year when I received an invite to a special dinner with Lorraine Kelly from JD Williams. Lorraine was launching a fabulous collection with the online catalogue brand, but because of how late I would be arriving back to the Midlands, it was an invite I had to decline. Lorraine’s collection is just part of the great offering from JD Williams, a company that has a range that goes from sizes 12 – 32. JD Williams has tackled all those…

Introducing High Street Outlet
This week, a lovely lady called Julie got in touch with my via the medium of Twitter (how did we ever live without it?) to see if I was interested in hearing a little more about her company and possibly reviewing some of the products they sell. The company is High Street Outlet, and a quick look around the website made me very interested in both the concept and the stock it sells. You know when you have one of those ‘How much?’ moments, but in a good way? Well High Street Outlet gives you those moments time and time again. The reason for this is simple. How would you…
