Evans – My picks from an AMAZING sale
Loving the online sales? The wait until you visit the Evans sale. This one is absolutely amazing with HUGE reductions on so many items, including the glorious Clements Ribeiro collection. This sale will basically sort out your summer wardrobe, and will then also provide you with items that will see you right into the A/W with ease. I couldn’t resist dipping into it, getting the Clements Ribeiro ‘Joan’ dress, which can only have been named for the Christina Hendricks character in Mad Men, and I am sorely tempted by so many other items..but I am trying to be good. So here are my tops picks – but get there quick,…

Style Trend – Summer Sequins
Sequins used to be a trend kept to Christmas parties and Las Vegas showgirls, but these days your wardrobe isn’t complete without a bit of glittering bling in it. But for those who think that sequins should be kept to the party season, and should only be worn in black, think again. These days, sequins in ice cream shades are the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. Celebrities from Olivia Palermo to the new Carrie Bradshaw, AnnaSophia Robb, have shown that sequins can actually be a very versatile addition to your capsule wardrobe, and High Street stores like French Connection, and online giants like Boohoo.com are all keying into the…

Style Crush – Octavia Spencer
There’s a new style star in town. Octavia Spencer was one of the winners at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, and now looks like a shoe-in for the Best Supporting Actress Oscar. She was also voted one of the best dressed on the night in an exquisitely pretty pink/lavender gown by Tadashi Shoji. But this is not the first time that Octavia has shone at a Red Carpet Event, in fact it’s becoming quite a habit for the lovely star. Octavia, of course, isn’t a perfect size 10, but she is super stylish. And part of the reason for this is that she realises that dressing stylish isn’t about having a…

Curvissa – beautiful dressing for those curves
Curvissa is an Aladdin’s cave of a website full of the most exquisite of dresses for those of us blessed with curves. I recently discovered this site whilst looking for a party dress and was seriously impressed by the choice and variation in styles. These are dresses that totally accentuate fuller figures rather than trying to shroud them. And instead of the slimming ‘black’, we are blessed with dresses that show style, colour and elegance. There are Grecian style gowns, figure hugging sexy numbers and flirty prom styles..basically something for every taste. And these dresses come in sizes from 14-32. Here are some of my favourites from an extensive range.…
