Gudrun Sjoden – taking inspiration from the Far East
This Spring, Scandinavian fashion legend Gudrun Sjoden is taking her inspiration from Far Eastern travels, with collections inspired by Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan and China. With new Spring/Summer campaign imagery chocked full of beautiful settings and gloriously colourful clothing, this might just be Gudrun’s best ever work. Gudrun’s collections are based on great quality cotton and organic fabric, beautiful prints taking inspiration from a wide variety of settings and sources, and wonderful use of colour that reflects the vibrant nature of the designer herself. I adore the styling for the campaigns, it is always a little bit wild and avant garde, with clashing colours and prints thrown together…

Pink Clove Black Floral Printed Wrap Dress
A wrap dress is a wardrobe staple that no respectable closet should ever be without. Suitable for wearing for work and for more dressy occasions, the wrap dress has been practical, versatile and stylish ever since the remarkable Diane Von Furstenberg first designed her eponymous printed version in the early 1970s.

I was recently sent the gorgeous black floral printed wrap dress to review, and have to say it is one of the most comfortable and easiest dresses that I have ever worn. Featuring an…

My Fort Shopping Challenge
The Fort Shopping Centre is a Birmingham Shopping Destination that offers more than 40 stores and restaurants including Debenhams, New Look, Evans and JD Sports. I was recently asked if I wanted to take part in a special blogger challenge that Fort had planned. Could I put together a capsule outfit for the new year for £50? I obviously jumped at the chance! So last Saturday I made my way to The Fort. After a lovely lunch at the Harvester Restaurant, I left Pete and Joe to look around the sports shops whilst I searched for a great outfit. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted, but did know that…

Sizzling sales picks from M&Co
It is a well-known fact that the best time to buy yourself a dress for New Year’s Eve is in the Christmas sale. It is also a well-known fact that the January Sales we all used to love no longer exist, with the best sales bargains now all snapped up even before Santa Claus has paid that annual visit. With most delivery dates for Christmas being extended as late as the 22nd/23rd of December, you can still find yourself a perfect outfit to wear over the festive period, or even grab a last-minute Christmas present for a loved one, saving a huge amount of pennies into the bargain. M&Co have…
