The NTA’s – The best looks
The National television awards are always a feast of fashion, some good and some very, very bad. This year there were actually some really gorgeous looks on the red carpet that oozed style, sophistication and enough full on glamour that would mean they wouldn’t look out of place on a Hollywood red carpet. Here are the looks that I loved. Tess Daly in Issa Get the look Also available in a petite version. Click here to view.

How to make My voucher codes work for you
A little while ago I wrote about My Voucher Codes, and how I thought they were indispensable for anyone who enjoys shopping and bargain hunting, but are looking to save as much money as possible. This month, in the run up to my own family holiday, I have been using My Voucher Codes to check out the discount at some of my own favourite websites, and thought I would share my experience of a couple of them. Regular Fashion-Mommy readers know that I am a huge fan of Boden, particularly their amazing range of fabulous summer dresses, so Boden discount code is a much used internet search for me. I…

The Brits – best dressed
The Brit awards were just a little bit boring and predictable weren’t they. How I longed for the rock n roll of Jarvis Cocker, Ron Wood and Brandon Block, or even Geri Halliwell in that Union Jack tea towel. The right people won the awards, James Corden did a pretty decent job, but it was all a little bit safe. Still, there were some great fashion looks to admire. Here are my faves. Get the Look The ageless goddess that is Kylie Minogue chose a beautiful Grecian style dress by Yves St Laurent. With its nod to Halston it had just enough disco for the Brits. Kylie showed that her…

5 Random fashion irritations
Having a quiet day today, baba is having a sleep, giving me the chance to flick through Heat, Grazia and Look, and to have a sound off about a few random fashion irritations that annoy me on a regular basis. People who wear winter boots, particularly Uggs, in Summer. Give your trotters a bit of an airing while you can. I look at girls wearing heavy boots, with bare legs and short skirts and all I can think is feet fungal infections. It’s so not a good look. Fearne Cotton!!! This women is supposeably a style icon. I could sum up her look in one sentence – a badly dressed…

Myths about curves!!
Two stories in the news have caught my eye recently, each suggesting that ‘curves’ are back in style. One story concerned an MP who said that women should aspire to the more healthy, feminine shape of Mad Men‘s Christina Hendricks, rather than skinnier models. The second article concerned the sudden leap in sales of ‘big knickers’, not the Bridget Jones variety, but the 50’s style Waistnippers magic pants that can help achieve a hourglass figure. But before we all heave a great big sigh of relief that curvy is now desirable, perhaps we ought to look more closely at the myths and realities of curves. MYTH ONE – WASN’T MARILYN…
