Spooky style from Topshop
It’s a fact – Halloween dressing up is no longer just for the kids. These days, Halloween is a hot date on the social calender, with parties being gothically, glamorous occasions and the perfect excuse for donning the deepest of red lips, the blackest of Kohl and the slinkiest of dresses. I have never, as an adult, dressed up for Halloween. But all this is going to change this year. I’m going to a Halloween party for the first time in years, and have picked out a Morticia Adams style wig, a purple witches hat, and a gorgeous long black dress and boots for my witchy costume. For those who…

Love Sales – Never Pay Full Price Again.
Whether you buy clothes as a necessity, or whether you are a fully paid up member of the shopaholics club, you probably love the idea of a bargain. So many of us refuse to pay full price for an item, instead we wait to see if it goes into a sale at some point, hoping to save those precious pennies. But then, when the coveted item does get reduced, we miss out because we find out about the sale too late, and by then, the size we wanted has sold out. Sound familiar? Love Sales is a website that aims to stop this happening, and get you the items you…

Fashion Focus – Jumpsuits from Dorothy Perkins
In the same way that the maxi dress was rescued from it’s Laura Ashley style 70s obscurity, and is now a definite wardrobe staple, the jumpsuit now seems here to stay. I can still remember the 1980s versions, boiler suits, parachute suits that seemed to be more suited to a flying lesson or working in a factory than actually being a fashion item. Early 1980s Scottish Songstress Kelly Marie seemed to have one perfectly glued to her body, and that was more than enough reason not to be wearing them. But how times change. The jumpsuit is now a super practical and much loved part of the wardrobe, and is…
