Friday Fashion – My Joules Summer Wishlist
I’m a huge fan of British brand Joules, which is celebrating its 25th birthday this year. The sort of Countryside chic, with elements of Land Girl style that Joules embodies, appeals to my sense of style. For me, Joules says Louella, Stella Tennent, The Queen at Sandringham in wellies and a headscarf, all mixed in with a bit of mud-soaked festival cool. Joules is typically British, and I love it for this. The current ranges are just gorgeous, so I have compiled a wish list of Joules items that I would love to have in my wardrobe this Summer.

It offers lots of variety, with the additional ranges like Billie & Blossom and Little Mistress. And, most importantly for thrifty fashionista’s, it offers great quality at reasonable prices. The season, Dorothy Perkins is showcasing gorgeous Spring florals, both in strong prints and applique detailing. There are cute playsuits for the young, and retro style dresses for the young at heart.…

On Thursday that is just what happened, when Superdry introduced the collections that have us thinking again to sunnier times. This was a collection that will certainly convert those that think that Superdry is all about jeans and clunky boots.There was just so much to admire. I loved the ‘Mod’ style tailored jackets, with military style gold buttons, and flashes of colour. English heritage was represented…

Dress season from Phase Eight – Ladies Day dressing solved
I am very excited to say I’m going to the Aegon Classic ladies day at the Edgbaston Priory Club as a guest of the club. Ladies Day is always a glamorous occasion when women dig out their summer finery and seriously dress to impress. And with Royal Ascot and Wimbledon also coming up in the next few weeks, it is clear that beautiful dresses are going to be a very important part of our summer wardrobe. Phase Eight should, therefore, be a major calling point on any shopping trip. Their range of dresses this season are quite simply stunning, with styles ranging from 1950s full-skirted, to slinky column styles. There…
