Wallis new in – 40s tea dresses, draping and blue.
The new season drops continue to pour into stores, and my latest focus is Wallis. I always love to see what the new season brings to Wallis, knowing there will be stylish quality items in a range of colour options. Wallis is bringing us Spring slowly, with 1940s style fit and flare dresses in the great tea dress tradition, featuring floral and dotted designs. There are also tunic style dresses for those who like a more streamlined shape when it comes to frocks. Tops have draping, knot details and feature faux layering. There are some great, block colour options, as well as patterns that range from watercolour style flowers, to…

Ted Baker new season – Floral prints and chic separates
I have totally fallen in love with the new collection from Ted Baker. It is, quite frankly, amazing. Taking the usual Ted Baker loved of exquisite blooming floral prints, and adding in the more minimalist, block colour separates in stark white, smart navy and neons and pastels, this collection totally screams summer. But is also contains many pieces that you will add to your wardrobe right now and be able to wear straight away. Detail is the key theme in this collection. There are embellished jumpers, with fabulous jewelled necklines – perfect with a pencil skirt or peg trousers for an evening out, or worn with skinny jeans and ballerina…

Friday shopping focus
This Friday I’m bringing a mixed bag of fashion. The sales really are on their last legs, but this is often the best time to shop since the savings to be made are at their highest levels.

You can also enjoy some of the newest drops in fashion land with the latest collections. It may be the grotty weather, with its cold and dark days, but I’m enjoying…

Christmas Party Dresses
First comes the Coco Cola adverts, then the building of the Christmas markets, and finally the countdown to our big Christmas party…getting into the Christmas spirit can be exciting or daunting. But as long as you can be super organised this can be a very magical time of the year. Shopping lists of food, drink, presents and decorations start to accumulated, and some of us leave very little time to take time out for ourselves and start browsing for something extra special for us to wear in the run up to Christmas. Our gym memberships have been misused, our cupboards are filling up nicely with yummy foods and the wine…

Phase Eight – Top Party Frocks and Collection 8
When you want a seriously knockout party or occasion dress, Phase Eight should definitely be at the top of your shopping list. With dresses that embrace different era’s, different influences and a whole range of colours, Phase Eight will always help you to stand out in any room and feel like a princess at the same time (I can’t be the only one surprised that Kate Middleton is yet to wear Phase Eight.) It would be hard for me to begin to tell you my favourite dresses from such an exquisite range. The purple choices rate very highly, I adore the Japanese floral influence of the Kimono dress, and the…
