Mother’s Day Gifts
This Sunday, March 10th, sees us celebrating moms, mums, mommies, mummies and ma’s everywhere.

Many of us need to have smart pieces in our wardrobe, whether, like me, you split work between home and numerous business venues, or whether holding down full or part-time jobs in any environment where first impressions count.

This just makes her the perfect icon for this season, with my-wardrobe just…

Reviewed – A special Dress from AX Paris
A special evening requires a special dress, and the premiere of a brand new ballet is most definitely a special event. I was a guest at the premiere of Aladdin by the Birmingham Royal Ballet on Friday evening, and was very lucky to be wearing a beautiful dress provided by AX Paris, from their fabulous ‘curve’ range. As a mother of a young child, opportunities for really dressing up are few and far between, so if I was going to the ballet, I was going to be wearing an evening dress! And here it is, the Jewel chiffon Jewel maxi dress in raspberry by Sienna Couture. Now, I have to…

Friday shopping focus -Designer at Debenhams key sales picks
For my Friday shopping focus this week I thought I would start with a little look at Debenhams, who are holding a special three day sale.

In particular, you can find some really fantastic offers on new lines from the ‘Designers at Debenhams’ section. This collection has long been a great place to source quality pieces and designs, with designers like Jasper Conran, Betty Jackson, Ben De Lisa and Marios Schwab all producing fabulous…
