Perfect Personalisation from My 1st Years
I can’t think of a more perfect gift to present to proud parents of a new baby than something that has been personalised. The idea that someone has added your new baby’s name to a gift is such a personal touch that can only make the gift something really special, and unique. My 1sy Years totally understands this and offers beautiful, unique and personalised presents that are perfect for baby showers, commemorating births and celebrating christenings.

Kate Middleton tackles Maternity Dressing with Summer Coats

New Look Press Day
New Look are one of the most popular and consistent of all high street retailers, producing collection after collection of great clothes, and accessories ranges that now, in my opinion, rival anything that the High Street (and some designer collections) have to offer. The recent New Look press day was an eclectic mixture of glorious jewellery, accessories that belied their High Street roots, and a clothing collection that was more dressed down than dressed up, and showed influences that ranged from Debbie Harry and punk, to Vivienne Westwood and pearlie kings and queens. There was much to admire and enjoy. Jewellery The statement necklace has is something that New Look…
