Liberty update the saddle bag for 2015
The Saddle bag was undoubtedly the bag of the 1970s. Nothing looked better than it when teamed with flared jeans and a cheesecloth blouse, but it also totally fitted the bill with the more slinky printed wrap dresses a la Diane Von Furstenberg. Worn cross body, or swinging from the shoulder, this grown up version of a satchel had plenty of room for all those essentials, and yet still managed to be compact and elegant. In recent times, the saddle bag has been revitalised by the likes of Zatchels and Ralph Lauren, and has gained a new army of celebrity fans. Taylor Swift seems to have a whole variety of…

The Liberty London Doc is back!
The wonderful Liberty London documentary is back, and once again it is a total treat for anyone with even a passing interest in department stores, shopping and the history of retail. That iconic, mock Tudor style building is always a place I love to visit when I’m in London, it always has amazing window displays and sells items that range from the iconic Liberty print scarves, to the weird and wonderful. My favourite star of the show (so far) has to be the truly lovely Judy Rose, the warm and funny front of house lady who gives the Liberty reception such a welcoming feel. Judy has put together her festive…

Friday shopping focus
This Friday I’m bringing a mixed bag of fashion. The sales really are on their last legs, but this is often the best time to shop since the savings to be made are at their highest levels. You can pick up things that will slot straight into your winter wardrobe, and also buy investment pieces that you will be able to keep for a special occasion (or even for next year’s Christmas parties if you really like planning ahead). You can also enjoy some of the newest drops in fashion land with the latest collections. It may be the grotty weather, with its cold and dark days, but I’m enjoying…

Reviewed – Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo
I only really wear lipstick for a glamorous night out, and then I do go for Hollywood bright colours. But on a day-to-day basis, I tend to leave the lips natural, or just add a tinted lip balm. So the idea of a nude lip stylo, that was designed to enhance the natural colour of the lips, whilst also leaving them feeling soft and conditioned, was something I was most definitely interested in. Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo offers all of those things, and is now available from that most beautiful of department stores, Liberty. First things first, the Hourglass nude Lip Stylo looks amazing. I’m a sucker for packaging…

Liberty Prints…Not just for Christmas
If you want to choose a last minute Christmas gift that has history and heritage behind it, then you need to pay a visit to Liberty, or at least to the Liberty London website if you can’t make it to the stunning, Tudor facade, store that dominates Great Malborough Street in London. Liberty print has been an iconic design classic since the Victorian era, when it first emerged as part of the Arts and Crafts movement. Since then the iconic prints have appeared on numerous items, some predictable (scarves are the perfect place to see such glorious prints), some just totally inspired (Doc Marten boots are the strangest place, but…
