Book Review – The World’s Most Influential Fashion Designers
As an avid book worm and fashion fan, my love for beautiful coffee table style books knows no bounds. From books about well known style icons, to tomes about fashion design and designers, I have managed to array a wonderful collection of books that delight with their images and inform with their text. With all this in mind, you can see why I would be so excited about doing a book review for The Works. With literally thousands of books to choose from, I headed straight to the online fashion section and selected ‘The World’s Most Influential Fashion Designers’ by Noel Palomo-Lovinska.

The Glamour and Glitz of the Debenhams Press Day
Out of all the press days I attend, the Debenhams Press event is always one of my absolute faves, and one I try hard not to miss. It is always a glamorous occasion, held in a sumptuous, beautiful venue, and the clothes on display are full of pieces that you instantly fall in love with. With some of these pieces due to start hitting the stores and online very soon, now is the perfect time to look ahead to what we will be wearing this Autumn/Winter. The influences are a really mixed bag from the Designers at Debenhams. There are 1950s full midi length skirts and dresses with beautiful brocade…

Sort out that clutter and make a little cash too with Bidworld.co.uk
January is traditionally the month when we give our homes a much needed sorting out. After the excess of Christmas, and all those new presents, and then the splurge buying in the sales, January always seems the right time to sort through everything we have, and to get rid of the unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories that have passed their sell by date. In addition to sorting our own things, we are often faced with mountains of toys belonging to our children. My son Joe has a birthday in December, as well as being spoiled rotten at Christmas, and so local Charity shops often receive bags full of perfectly good…
