New Look sorts your holiday packing
Holiday packing – not that much fun is it? Trying to sort outfits for each day, every few minutes getting those suitcase scales out in order to check you’ve not exceeded the baggage allowance (which for some airlines is now as low as 15 kilograms). Well, what if I said that with some savvy buys you could get away with taking a capsule wardrobe of just 20 pieces. That’s right, 20 pieces. I’m taking a leaf from Gok Wan’s book and choosing pieces that can multi functional and can be mixed and matched to create a range of different outfits. You can get all the pieces featured here from…

Boden’s Limited Edition – Bree Van De Kamp’s wardrobe anyone?
One of the saddest things about the end of Desperate Housewives is that we will no longer get the opportunity to lust over Mrs Van De Kamp’s wardrobe (and yes, I know she got married a few times after Rex, but she will always be Bree Van De Kamp to me.) Bree’s mixture of pristine Stepford Wives but with a surprisingly sexy edge was always a style highlight, the only TV character who came close to challenging Carrie Bradshaw in my affections. From full-skirted dresses, to neat early 1960s inspired numbers, teamed with gorgeous embellished knits, Bree was a lady who never had a hair out-of-place, a crease on her…

Style Focus – Millie Mackintosh

I’ve loved Millie’s style since the first series of Made in Chelsea, particularly the way she puts her outfits together mixing High Street favourites and designer pieces. She recently told Look magazine that she loves shops off the Kings Road like Austique or Biondi for ‘swimwear, maxis and accessories’. She has that groomed look…

Check out these amazing Hush Puppies from Schuh
Hands up if you’ve heard of Hush Puppies? I can bet that almost all of you reading this are holding your arm aloft in the air as we speak. Hush Puppies are a British institution, having been established in 1958, and still going strong almost 55 years later. But for all of you imagining some geeky science teacher in her lace ups, or, perish the thought, Barbara Woodhouse shouting sit in her sensible skirt and Hush Puppies (shudders!), you may be in for the most pleasant of suprises. Because Hush Puppies have seen a style revolution in recent years, and have emerged with some seriously stylish contemporary looks. Funky sandals,…

Friday shopping focus – Boohoo
It’s Friday, it’s the end of the month, and for many of you lovely readers, that means payday. But this week I thought that I would do something that I should do more often, focus on some menswear. This was prompted from a message from an old school friend who asked if I was going to be doing anything for men on the blog, and I had to agree it was high time I focused on all you gorgeous men out there. Boohoo.com have recently started stocking menswear, and currently have a great deal where you can get 20% off when you enter the code MEN20 at the checkout. Here…
