Dressing up your jeans with High Street Outlet
There are times when I thank heavens for jeans. As a general rule I live in skirts and dresses, but there are just some mornings when I reach for the nearest pair of jeans, a simple t-shirt, and head off on the school run. There are also times when the weather isn’t great, and a night out involves slightly more walking than just car-to-bar, and that is when the old staple of jeans, heels and a pretty top comes into its own. This weekend I was in Blackpool, and a night out consisted of a long walk along the promenade, making the most of the good weather, then a few…

What I wear – April Looks
Today I am taking a look back at some of the outfits I wore during the month of April. April was a busy month for me, as well as all the usual blogging events and family time, we also took an extended Easter break where I actually abandoned the blog for 10 whole days. April was also warm and sunny – the tights were abandoned for the first time this year and we even got to spend some time at the beach – a total break from the usual Easter wind and rain. This outfit post is mainly holiday outfits, with a few very special event looks thrown in for…

Friday Fashion- Going Green with High Street Outlet
Recently, all my posts concerning adding colour to your wardrobe have been concerned with my favourite shade – yellow. But I genuinely love most colours, and find neutrals to be something I tend to avoid. Today I am continuing my series of great finds from High Street Outlet with a Per Una dress in the most vibrant shade of green. The Ex Per Una green floral wrap style dress is a lovely soft, stretch dress which is described as ‘a throw on and look lovely dress.’ I can only agree. The nature of the dress (no ironing – total result!) means that is really is the sort of dress you…

The perfect yellow dress from Kaliko
If there was any further evidence needed that sunshine yellow is the colour to be seen in this season, then the site of the Duchess of Cambridge emerging from hospital holding the gorgeous Princess Charlotte was all that just that. She looked amazing in a yellow floral print dress from Jenny Packham, and when, two nights later, I took a stunning yellow lace dress from Kaliko for a test drive, I was told I was wearing the ‘Middleton yellow.’ The double layer dress is a bit of a departure for Kaliko this season. Many of their dresses have a 1950s feel with full skirts and prom styles – they wouldn’t…

Kimono Style Jackets from Gudrun Sjoden
In the way that the maxi skirt made a comeback and then never disappeared, the Kimono has had a real moment over the last few years. A traditional Japanese style jacket, the kimono was something that at one time you could only find on a trip overseas, or in a vintage shop. These days it is a key part of the wardrobe, giving an alternative to a jacket or cardigan, and proving to be a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn with jeans, over a little black dress, or even as a beach cover-up. Vive le Kimono! Gudrun Sjoden added kimono jackets to their Spring collection this year,…
