A Swimshop Swimwear review
Often when we talk about swimwear, we really mean the sort of stuff we wear for topping up our tans on the beach – i.e. something skimpy, pretty, and not really suitable for swimming in at all. If you are looking for swimwear this year that is actually fit for the purpose it was named for – i.e swimming, then Swimshop is the place you should be turning to. Here there is a great range of swimwear that looks good, but is substantial enough for doing lengths at your local pool. I love swimming, last Summer I was taking Joe at least twice a week to our local baths and…

Summer is sorted with High Street Outlet
I am continuing my series of reviews of the great pieces you can pick up online at High Street Outlet by featuring a dress that is a perfect summer holiday dress. The Santiago maxi dress was originally a White Stuff piece, and because of the use of cotton, and the tropical halter neck, it is definitely a piece that I will be folding neatly into my holiday suitcase in a few weeks time. The picture above is just one of the reasons I chose this dress – just how amazing does it look worn casually with flip flops and hippy style beads? I knew this was a dress that could…

A Thomas Sabo Summer Wishlist
One of the first fashion events I ever went to was for iconic jewellery brand Thomas Sabo. It was held in the glorious surroundings of the Langham Hotel in London and was a suitably glamorous affair, with Summer cocktails and pastries that perfectly echoed the elegance and beauty of the Thomas Sabo pieces on display.

The jewellery collection is one filled with show…

A theatre Outfit from High Street Outlet
On Wednesday I was lucky enough to attend the press preview of The Bodyguard at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. I am one of those people who still believe that the going to the theatre is an occasion that calls for a little bit of dressing up, so I decided to wear my final review piece from High Street Outlet. The High Street Outlet offers last season pieces and overstock at greatly reduced prices. The piece I chose was a beautiful black and grey lace peplum dress that was originally from Kaliko, which is, of course, one of my favourite labels for occasion dressing. This is an absolutely gorgeous dress, the…
