Reviewed – Lace and Jersey Dress from Kaliko
On Friday night I was lucky enough to attend the press night for the Birmingham Royal Ballet’s opening of The Nutcracker. It was really enjoyable, a truly wonderful night, and it was made even better by having the chance to wear another beautiful dress from Kaliko. I find that Kaliko dresses have a timeless elegant quality – you always feel good wearing them. This dress was no exception to the rule – I think it is just lovely. The dress in question is ‘Lace and Jersey dress’, which is currently in the sale as Black Friday weekend continues. The dress is in a very soft jersey fabric, with plenty of…

The discounts, offers, free delivery and other great incentives offered mean that this is a great time to grab a bargain, either in the form of Christmas gifts for family and friends, or a special treat for yourself as we reach the end of the month (which means payday for so many.)

I am a huge fan of Wallis dresses, which I think have the right level of style and sophistication for women who are most definitely not teenagers. The teal shutter dress is a perfect example…

But jumpers are not just something to wear when it gets cold, they can also be a really glamorous evening option too. Just ask the people at Wallis. Wallis have taken knitwear in an elegant, evening direction. Using embellishments, glitter thread and fluffy wool, Wallis have…

Have a Boden Christmas
If you are looking for something a little special to wear to a party this Christmas, or you’re looking for a present for the lady in your life (mom, sister, wife, daughter – basically any female relative), then you need to make sure you visit the Boden website this week. For this is the week with the famous 25% off discount that allows you to make some rather good savings on some gorgeous pieces including both clothes and accessories. Boden promises that it offers ‘the gifts she’ll love’, and I have to agree. They have Christmas jumpers with a twist, offering a sparkly bauble or two, or a completely sequined…
