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…

Wallis review – A little blue dress
When Wallis sent me the Ink Lace Ruche Side dress a couple of weeks ago, I never in a million years thought that this particular dress would become my ‘go-to’ frock, perfect for all manner of occasions, easy to wear, and versatile enough to team with a range of other colours, including metallics. This dress has already been worn for two special occasions. Forget the ‘Little black dress’ and meet instead the ‘little blue dress.’ This is a classic 60s shaped shift dress. The neckline is almost slash style – quite high, but with pleated detail, whilst there is also ruching on the side that adds another element to the…

The seasonal sales continue with Wallis
So Cyber Monday came and went, and Black Friday is little more than a rather bruising distant memory, but that doesn’t mean the sales and discounts are gone. Now is actually a brilliant time to find yourself a bargain buy, but without any of the crushes, the falling televisions and the hype. As we move closer to the big day I am going to try to share some more Christmas gift ideas for the whole family, along with fashion pieces that can carry you from walking around a Christmas market, to feasting on the turkey, and enjoying the ultimate dress up night – New Year’s Eve. I’m starting with some…

Wallis launch their latest W collection
The launch of the Wallis W collection is fast becoming something that I really look forward to. A grown up collection that is full of smart pieces that can be mixed and matched with each other, and with the rest of your wardrobe, the W collection mixes great British style with elements of cool French tailoring. The new range also has enough sparkle and bling to show we are heading towards the festive season. The new range is an eclectic collection that combines tailoring, outerwear and elegant dresses. There are 30s style, wide leg trousers, 50s style Bardot dresses, the sort most recently seen on Kylie Minogue on The Voice,…

Reviewed – F&F tropical Print Knot front Dress
Every wardrobe needs a versatile dress that is suitable for both day and night wear. You know the sort of dress I mean, one that could be worn for a day at the office, or doing the school run, but could then be transformed with heels and a clutch bag. The tropical print knot front dress from F&F is precisely this kind of dress, and the fact that it is also super pretty is an added bonus. This is a really nice dress, easy to wear and with a gorgeous eye-catching print. Made in my favourite jersey fabric, this tropical print dress features a flattering knot front detail which gathers…
