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. And this is what makes them perfect for English Summer, as well as throwing in that holiday…

Celebrity Get the Look featuring Emma Watson, Jessica Alba and Alison Williams
Today’s Get the Look is more about ideas to get a similar look, rather than finding the identical items wore by the stars. That said, we still have a few actual ‘get the looks’ from The One Show’s Alex Jones, a lady who always seems to spark early evening discussions about ‘where did she get that?’ on Twitter. Shall we make a start? Let’s begin the sartorial tour through a few sought after looks. Alex Jones wears Ted Baker and Wallis I have to say I’m a huge fan of Alex’s smart, but laid back style.

Pyschobitches, Kylie and Jessa – Reasons to Switch to Sky this Summer
I’ve recently switched my internet provider to Sky Broadband. It seemed to make perfect sense to have my satellite TV, telephone calls and internet from one combined source, and Sky was the best option for my family, especially with the Sky+ element, and my husband’s love of HD channels. Although I had always used Freeview in the past, the Broadband bundles currently offered by Sky , which include unlimited Broadband (perfect for a blogger of course), the Sky TV entertainment package that includes Sky Atlantic, and a free Sky HD box, mean that I have a package that both addresses my working needs in the form of reliable and fast…

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.

Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree for me..or at least a faux one!
Chanteuses from Eartha Kitt to Madonna, by way of Kylie Minogue have purred their way through that song for many years, but these days the smart fashionista knows that you don’t need a sable, mink, fox or Ocelot to look amazing and feel oh-so-cosy, you can simply fake it. Faux furs are an amazing way to cover up the slinkiest of evening gowns, or just add a touch of glamour to your jeans. Fashionable stars like Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Olivia Palermo are amongst the vast array of celebs who believe that faking it is far more fun. And why not. Fake fur is cosy and snug, can look…
