Add Sunshine to your accessories with Michael Kors
A new accessories collection from Michael Kors has launched exclusively at House of Fraser, and it is no exageration to say that this is a collection that will add summer and sunshine to your wardrobe. The Michael Kors Sunflower collection is absolutely gorgeous, made up of two handbags, 2 cross-body bags, a pouchette that could be used for travel documents, as a purse, or even as a small clutch bag, and a large, flapover, purse. The beauty of the collection is all in the colour, a bright and beautiful sunflower yellow. As someone who would quite happily wear yellow every single day, I am obsessed with this collection. It would…

Iconic fashion – The Polo Shirt
What do you consider to be the most iconic item of fashion in a man’s wardrobe? You may go for a classic pair of Levi’s, a tuxedo, maybe a Harrington jacket if you have an Mod in your life, but for me, the most iconic piece in a man’s wardrobe has to be the ageless, timeless polo shirt.

He designed the polo shirt with sport in mind, short sleeved, breathable pique cotton, and slightly longer at the back so that it could be tucked in, stopping the shirt from…

The SAGs are generally considered to be one of the lesser awards when it comes to the fashion, with simpler styles, casual looks and jumpsuits all making an appearance on the Red Carpet. This doesn’t mean that there aren’t some seriously gorgeous looks on display (you can check out last year’s best dressed here.) But it does mean that this is one award ceremony where you could get away with a dress bought ‘off the peg’. House of Fraser have become a part of the British Red Carpet in recent…

The final Downton Fashion feast
The curtain finally falls on Downton Abbey on Christmas Day, with millions of fans already mourning its departure. Many will miss Michelle Dockery as Lady Mary, Laura Carmichael as Lady Edith, and the inimitable Maggie Smith and her acerbic one liners. But if I am brutally honest, what I will miss most is the frocks and fashion. Downton started just before World War One, but the most recent series have been set in the roaring twenties, when hemlines were raised, waists were dropped along with not so few inhibitions. The 1920s is a fashion era that was truly revolutionary, especially for women, and it remains both fascinating and iconic for…

Ultimate Christmas gifts for her
In my latest gift guide I am focusing on some gifts for the lady in your life. This could be your mother or your daughter, your sister or your aunt, your niece or your nan. It could even be your best friend or a teacher. Everyone has a special lady who you want to treat to an extra special present, so this is a list that is well worth bookmarking for ideas and inspiration. I have focused on four different stores and websites. I’m starting with Selfridges, who this year are wishing us all a starry Christmas with their constellation/celestial ranges. My absolute number one pick from Selfridges in terms…
