The Perfect Grey Jumper From Cho Fashion And Lifestyle
Once upon a time, my choice of basic and classic clothing was always black. But in recent times, I have developed a love for grey, as a basic, as a neutral and as a stylish classic. Grey jumpers, worn with jeans or a black leather pencil skirt, have become almost a uniform of choice for me, something that I don’t have to think about, and yet know it will look good. CHO Fashion & Lifestyle is an award-winning, independent designer clothing retailer with a passion for beautiful brands and professional service.

Preparing for the Chill with Esprit
January. I have to be honest, it’s my least favourite month of the year. The one that replaces the Christmas glow, glitter and glamour with dark, cold weather and a decidedly chilly air. This month is proving to be the norm rather than the exception. By the end of the week we could be looking at sleet and snow across most of the UK, and those sparkly days of December seem an awful long way away. It’s time to dig out those Winter Woollies.

Fair Isle knits are a traditional craft that has been around for hundreds of years, with the knits being used as currency when trading with passing ships. In recent years, the traditional designs have taken on a fashionable edge, notoriously when…

Reviewed – Army and Navy Reed Shawl Neck Jumper
The Army and Navy brand from Howick, which is currently stocked at House of Fraser, is one with a strong and proud British heritage. First founded in 1871 by Army and Navy Officers, the brand has, over the years, expanded and gone from strength to strength, becoming an international success story and offering clothes that are strong on both style and quality, with that mark of heritage which still seems to resonate in the 21st Century. House of Fraser recently offered my hubby Pete the chance to review a piece from their current menswear ranges that include Label Lab, Criminal and Howick. Pete opted for a jumper from the Army…

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…
