M&Co Glitter and sparkle for the party season

Posted on October 31, 2016 by fashion-mommy

I’ve seen a great meme this morning, which says ‘on the stroke of midnight – Christmas carols everywhere.’ Because of course, on the stroke of midnight, we are then into November, and with the Oxford Street lights being switched on next weekend, we really can start to look towards Christmas, and our party season wardrobes.

Today I am turning my attention towards M&Co, who always seem to pull something pretty and sparkling out of the bag when it comes to Christmas. This year, they have all the bases covered, with Art Deco style beading and flapper dresses, lace shift styles and plisse pleats on both dresses and tops, and dresses with the most beautiful kimono sleeves.

I love that the dresses are knee length, and that classic black is celebrated, but isn’t the only option – we also have beautiful dresses in teal and magenta shades. Plus, if your thing is to wear a gorgeous top with a pair of skinny jeans and heels, M&Co also has this covered with sparkly sequinned and metallic designs that will be perfect for after work drinks.

I have chosen a selection of my favourite looks from M&Co. Currently there are a lot of money off offers on their website, which you can check out here. You can also get free UK delivery on orders over £40, and can currently get 25% off full price items using the code WISH25. It is also worth checking out the website as it is full of online exclusive items that you cannot find in store.

Downton and Strictly herald the return of the fringe

Posted on October 15, 2014 by fashion-mommy

It’s that time of year again. The night’s may be drawing in and the days getting shorter and darker, but they are also filled with sparkle, shimmer and…fringes. Autumn sees the return of two of the most glamorous programmes on television, Downton Abbey and Strictly Come Dancing, and with the return of these programmes we also see the welcome re-emergence of the flapper dress, and those fabulous fringes.

Flapper dresses, the standout piece of 1920s style, is a perennial party favourite, with those long fringes perfect for those who love to standout on the dance floor. This is highlighted no better than on Strictly Come Dancing, where Alison Hammond, Caroline Flack, Pixie Lott and Frankie Bridge have already shown of their 1920s style in the first few episodes of the series.

Where the celebrities lead, the High Street is sure to follow, and this is certainly true this year. As we head closer to the festive party season, Phase Eight, M&Co, Biba at House of Fraser and Miss Selfridge have all unveiled dresses and skirts which have definite fringe appeal.

Will you be unveiling your inner 20s It Girl come Christmas party season?

Channel Christmas Downton with Miss Selfridge

Posted on December 13, 2013 by fashion-mommy

Downton Abbey is one of the jewels in the ITV Christmas offering, showing on the evening of Christmas Day, and always much-anticipated. This years episode promises to be a sparkling affair, with the official ‘coming out’ and presentation to Royalty of Lady Rose. This means a chance to drool over a splendid range of beaded and glittering 1920s fashions, gorgeous flapper frocks, jewelled headbands and glam gloves and shoes.

Miss Selfridge is this season taking us back to Winter’s past with a stunning party range that has a definite vintage feel. Of course, that has to include dresses that are just perfect if you are coming over all decadence and Downton yourself. Fabulous beaded evening dresses, Art Deco style box clutch bags and diamante jewels will help you channel the spirit of Gloria Swanson and The Great Gatsby, making sure you will be the belle of any ball.
