Reviewed – Prussian Blue Occasion Dress from Jacques Vert
If you say the name Jacques Vert to anyone, they will probably think of a great place to buy outfits for Weddings. ‘Mother-of-the-bride is often a phrase attached to the range of clothing stocked by this well established company. But while Jacques Vert certainly stocks apparel suitable for weddings, it would be unfair to dismiss it as just this, for there are some beautiful pieces that are suitable for so many other occasions. Just before Christmas I was asked if I was interested in reviewing a dress from the Jacques Vert range. I decided to take a look around the site and was pleasantly surprised to see there were lots…

Winter coats can often be seen as just a practical requirement. It is cold, it is sometimes wet, therefore I need a coat that is comfortable and practical, something padded maybe, something waterproof.

Primark opens in New Square
Hands Up who shops in Primark (a million hands fly up). Let’s be honest, we all shop in Primark, or Primarni as it is affectionately known, at some time or other. Whether we source our whole wardrobes from its amazing budget finds, or add to our accessories collections with great shoes and bags, or simply pop in from time to time because we can’t resist a bargain, Primark is a destination on most of our shopping lists. Today saw the exciting opening of a brand new Primark store, in the fabulous New Square centre in West Bromwich. I was lucky enough to have been invited to take a sneaky look…
