Maxi dress style – Perfect for Summer
The calendar says that it is Summer, but standing outside today watching Joe play football in biting wind, I’m not so sure. But one thing I am sure of is that it is maxi dress season. Confused, well let me explain. Maxi dresses have become a real summer staple, one that suit woman of all shapes and sizes, and work for pretty much every occasion. You can buy them in regular, petite and plus size fits, in styles that come from strapless to long sleeved, in heavier jersey to the lightest of cotton.

Fashion Focus – Ankle Boots
In my humble opinion, a good pair of ankle boots, especially one with some sort of heel, is the most versatile footwear in your wardrobe, and one you should not be without when putting together any sort of capsule wardrobe.

I don’t mind admitting that, when Winter really sets in, I live in ankle boots. Currently my hero…

Bingocams – Putting the fun back into bingo
I was in Blackpool at the weekend, and had the most amazing time. It was sunny and warm, really busy and alive, the illuminations were on and it was just lovely. Of course, we spent quite a bit of time in the amusement arcades and, as always, the games I instinctively headed to were the bingo machines. I love the adrenaline buzz you get when your numbers come out, and the feeling when you win (I won £1 – I was so excited, sad but true.) It did get me thinking. I’m not a gambler as such, I like the odd game, either at the seaside, or occasionally online, but…

Bespoke, beautiful sandals from K. Jacques
Imagine you could create a sandal that was completely bespoke, created by your own design, and then that sandal would be made, for you, in one of the World’s most glamorous towns, the sun-drenched Saint Tropez.
