An evening talking hair with Nicky Clarke
A few weeks ago, before all the excitement and the frenetic madness that was Style Birmingham Live, I attended another event that could only be classed as amazing. Hair maestro and all-round legend Nicky Clarke hosted an evening to celebrate the opening of his new salon in Birmingham’s Mailbox, and I was very lucky to receive an invite to the event. The new salon is a classy, glamorous affair, with lots of space to ensure you avoid the sometimes cramped, claustrophobic confines that can be a problem in small, hot salons. I particularly loved the wall which is filled with glossy magazine covers that Nicky styled the hair for, a…

Style Birmingham Live – A huge Success
Last weekend saw what was, quite possibly, the greatest Style Birmingham Live ever. This really was an event that had it all. The weekend started with a bang with a champagne reception and hair treats from the Francesco Group. This was followed by an amazing spectacle of fashion from the cream of Birmingham retailers, from House of Fraser and the Bullring, Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, with good old M&S thrown in for good measure. The show was presented by Emma Willis and Rylan Clark, which was a totally genius pairing, they bantered so well and made the show warm and funny as well as a visual treat. With the added…

Reviewed Scarlett & Jo Green Crochet Collar Shift Dress
I am a huge fan of Scarlett & Jo. Since the brand launched in Evans stores I think they have produced a consistently gorgeous range of dresses and tunics that offer glamour and elegance. Some of the dresses in the collection have been slightly overlooked in light of the amazing Powerfit dresses (you can view the whole Powerfit range here), but Scarlett &Jo is about so much more than the Powerfit frock. The green crochet collar shift dress is a case in point. A stunning, dark green, 1960s style dress, with loose silhouette and a cute crochet Peter Pan style collar, this dress is simply gorgeous. Coming in green, red,…

Aegon Classic ladies Day – Fashion, Fizz and Umbrellas
There was rain of frankly Biblical proportions, which unfortunately did stop play, but it certainly didn’t halt the style of the Aegon Classic ladies Day in Birmingham last week, the day had it in spades. From House of Fraser pop-up stores showcasing Biba and Mary Portas designs, to local heroine Lisa Shepherd on hand offering style advice and hair rescue for those who locks had been lashed by the rain, the stylish ladies of Birmingham were offered pampering that sat nicely alongside the almost compulsory jugs of Pimms. Leading the style parade was the gorgeous Michelle Heaton, the face of the Aegon Classic Ladies Day for 2013. She wore a…

M&Co flash Sale with style inspiration from Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Millie Mackintosh and Lucy Kite
There is nothing I like better than a flash sale, the sort of surprise events where you really can make some amazing savings, but have to be quick as they only last for a very short time. A really amazing flash sale at the moment is the M&Co event, which is full of really lovely items that range from petites to plus-size, and everything else in between. You can get lots of inspiration for what to buy from the flash sale by taking a look at some of the stylish celebs I’ve featured below. Lucy Kite style TV presenter Lucy Kite looked fantastic in this 1960s style shift dress from…
