Silver & Grey Glamour At Dorothy Perkins
In the 1990s, there was no more glamorous couple than Johnny Depp and Kate Moss. I’m mentioning this because, this season, one of Kate’s most memorable early red carpet looks, from her time with Depp, is a key style inspiration. The simple grey shift dress was elegant, chic and remains totally timeless, and this Autumn the grey shade that totally made the dress is going to be a new style crush (along with silver shades) when it comes to a little bit of evening glamour. Grey is most definitely the new black. It has always had a place in the wardrobe as part of a workwear suit. Most of us…

March Outfit post
I know, I know, we’re nearly half way through April, so it is a little late to be looking at outfits from March, but that much needed and enjoyed break over Easter has left me playing a game of catch-up. Still, as the old adage is better late than never, I think there is still time for me to share a few of the outfits I wore last month. March was a busy month for me personally, with both professional and personal occasions playing a big part. Some of my outfits have already been shared (for Mother’s Day, Pete’s birthday and a few other occasions that were part of outfit…

The Wonderful World of Shoes
I have a slight obsession with shoes! Ok, scratch that, I have an enormous obsession with shoes. I just love beautiful footwear, and it is the one thing that I find really hard to resist, even when I’m on a spending ban. Trying to pass a shoe shop, particularly when there is a sale on, is the equivalent of King Midas bypassing the Jewellery Quarter – it’s just not going to happen. I must have two hundred pairs by now, from vintage pieces from Bally and Salvatore Ferragamo (charity shop finds), to designer pairs from Westwood and Marc Jacobs. I love high street brands too, and find all my summer…
