Snow Queen inspiration at Topshop
Hans Christian Anderson was a true literary genius wasn’t he. For when he created the Snow Queen, he not only created one of the most memorable characters in children’s literature, he also produced a legendary fashion icon. When Winter comes, and if there is even a little chance of snow, the stark white, slivers of silver and lashings of fur become total wardrobe favourites. Because who doesn’t want to look like a beautiful Snow Queen in a Winter Wonderland? This season Topshop have created a range of pieces that will allow you to take inspiration from that chilly but beautiful fashionista, with dresses that have sequins and sparkle, cuddly fur…

Christmas Glamour from Phase Eight & Studio 8
When it comes to glamorous occasion dressing, Phase Eight can always be relied upon. And now, Sister brand Studio 8 is also continuing the good work, with beautiful pieces that go up to size 24. With Christmas less than 40 days away, this post is dedicated to pieces that can be worn over the Christmas period, from Christmas day celebrations, to partying the night away on New Year’s Eve. But this post does come with a difference. Regular readers of this blog will know that I am obsessed with dresses, and that when it comes to evening wear, I always step towards the dress rail.

Dorothy Perkins Winter Warmers
1st November. And although the sun is now shining high in the sky, this morning there was a definite cold chill in the air, along with mist and fog that said just one thing – Winter is coming. As a person who hates all things cold, and longs for sunshine and heat, the only things that make me even slightly smile at the coming of Winter is Christmas, and the chance to add some sparkle and winter woollies to the wardrobe. Frankly everything else, the cold, snow, sleet, dark nights, dark mornings, sludge etc, etc, can just do one! (Anything mulled can stay though…) This month the fashion focus is…

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…

Loving my Boohoo Louise Faux Fur Coat
I remember the days when I went out in the evening in a slinky dress and absolutely no coat. Whatever the weather, I would brave the cold thinking that a coat would spoil the general look of my outfit, and then I would freeze waiting for taxi’s in sub-zero temperatures. But there are ways to cover up in the evening, and still look glamorous and evening appropriate, and one of those ways is with a faux fur coat. I was sent the gorgeous Louise Faux Fur stripe coat from Boohoo, and have been struggling to take it off – it is gorgeous, cuddly and oh so warm. I think fur…
