Wallis – It’s all about the Jackets
Autumn is the time when we relinquish our bare arms and the jackets come out in force. The weather isn’t actually freezing yet, but we need something that can banish that definite chill that lingers in the air. We basically need a jacket. Wallis has really come up trumps in the jacket department this season, with a range that takes in blazers, tuxedos and biker styles. But my favourite style this season is the waterfall jacket that has taken a step away from the block colour versions of past seasons, and has embraced pattern and print. I was asked to choose my favourite style, and had no hesitation in picking…

Selfridges Homewares Sale – find your Domestic Goddess
Nobody would ever accuse me of being a goddess of domesticity, I can hardly find my way around a can opener, could burn water, and only watch cookery programmes so I can shout things at the telly like ‘Who has all that in their cupboards?’ or ‘What is All Spice?’ or even ‘Ghost Chilli – are they making this up?’ But even with all this in mind, I do love a gorgeous kitchen that is just gleaming with gorgeous appliances. Which is why I totally love the current Selfridges homewares sale. This is full of the sorts of fantastic appliances that could be classed as design classics, with famous names…

Laura Ashley – Vintage gorgeousness with 30% off
Fabulous frocks and exquisite quality are all hallmarks of Laura Ashley, which is why the offer of 30% off is just too good to miss. I’ve been trawling the offers this morning, and have to say how much I love the vintage inspired pieces that Laura Ashley always has as part of its collection. Last season I was besotted by the dress with the beach huts that looked like vintage 50s attire from the wardrobe of Audrey Hepburn, this season I just adore the stamp print dress with the black and red colour way. But there are so many other vintage inspired pieces, from 60s colour blocking, to Alexa Chung…

Linea – Two New Season Looks
Linea is one of House of Fraser’s most successful lines. Full of classic pieces that successfully fuse fashion and elegance, the collection is one which adds gravitas to your wardrobe, these are pieces that you can wear forever. Neat shifts, tailored jackets and beautifully bright silk shirts and blouses are the order of the day – think the elegance of Kate Middleton, Helen Mirren and Kristen Scott Thomas, rather than the rock n roll edge of Kate Moss. I have been challenged to put together an outfit for Linea, but have decided to show you two looks, one for the workplace and one for a night out. This was difficult…

Back to school(and College, Uni whatever…) with Fashion-Mommy
It’s that time again when you wonder where the summer has gone. It seems like only two minutes ago we were hearing those ‘Schools Out’ adverts with the strains of Alice Cooper ringing in our ears, and now we will soon be waving our little ones (and not so small ones) off as they return to school and college. (and in the case of my little one – start nursery proper – sob!) So I’ve gathered some of the prettiest, cutest most practical back to school products for your perusal. There are must haves, and some lust haves, including gorgeous stationary items from Liberty London. New Look has some amazing…
