Wallis review – A little blue dress
When Wallis sent me the Ink Lace Ruche Side dress a couple of weeks ago, I never in a million years thought that this particular dress would become my ‘go-to’ frock, perfect for all manner of occasions, easy to wear, and versatile enough to team with a range of other colours, including metallics. This dress has already been worn for two special occasions. Forget the ‘Little black dress’ and meet instead the ‘little blue dress.’ This is a classic 60s shaped shift dress. The neckline is almost slash style – quite high, but with pleated detail, whilst there is also ruching on the side that adds another element to the…

February Outfit round-up
As we are now firmly ensconced in March, I thought it was about time I did a run through of some of the outfits I wore in February ( before we hit April, so to speak!). February was a lovely, busy month for me, and some of my outfits have already been featured in the form of reviews, so I have tried not to feature them again, but there were other trips to the theatre, and different events where I dug into the wardrobe to put something suitable together. I have not really purchased much in the way of clothing since the new year, so I have definitely been…

Reviewed – F&F Duster Jacket
One of the most versatile pieces you can add to your wardrobe now Spring is here (ahem – yes it is snowing outside the window as I write this – but it’s March, and that means Spring to me.) is a duster jacket. Lightweight, but so elegant and stylish, a duster jacket is a great with jeans and flat shoes for a casual look, but can also be worn, 1960s style, over a shift dress for a more dressy, or evening look. One of the best value duster jackets around at the moment is the F&F version that comes in a very pretty and springlike dusky pink shade. With mid…

Reviewed – Planet Emerald Lace Dress
I have to admit, that at this moment, I am in the middle of a green phase. It has become my colour of choice when I want to stand out in the crowd, especially when it is the deepest emerald shade. Green is one of those colours my grandad was always deeply suspicious of. He considered it to be an unlucky colour, and one of his favourite sayings was ‘blue and green, never be seen’, which is now funny as this is one of my favourite colour combinations. Conversely, green is my mom’s favourite colour, and with my little boy being a green eyed beauty, this is definitely a colour…

Pink Clove Black Floral Printed Wrap Dress
A wrap dress is a wardrobe staple that no respectable closet should ever be without. Suitable for wearing for work and for more dressy occasions, the wrap dress has been practical, versatile and stylish ever since the remarkable Diane Von Furstenberg first designed her eponymous printed version in the early 1970s. Plus size range Pink Clove has made the wrap dress one of the mainstays of its collections, adding at least one new design each season. I was recently sent the gorgeous black floral printed wrap dress to review, and have to say it is one of the most comfortable and easiest dresses that I have ever worn. Featuring an…
