Holiday Picks From Dorothy Perkins
It was one of the main anomalies in the fashion world, just as you actually enter a season (i.e. Summer), then the sales start for that particular season (i.e. the Summer sales). We are just two weeks into June, and many of us are yet to take our Summer hols, with those who love cancellation bargains yet to even book their hols. And yet, this week has seen a whole host of stores start their summer sales. Which is great news for those of us who need to grab a new swimsuit, or a beach bag, or a knockout sundress, and love a bargain. If you are looking to do…

Summer In The City Sizzlers From Boden
In my last post I talked about staycations, and all the fun you can have if you are not going abroad this year. But the fact that you are not going away for a holiday does not mean that you can’t put together some very special looks for your Summer in the City. Weekend shopping trips with the girls, al fresco cocktails at your favourite bar, a picnic and some lounging time in the local park, all of this can be a chance to dress up in some of your new favourite pieces, in much the same way as Carrie Bradshaw always dressed up for New York. Great British brand…

Boho Dressing with Esprit
One of my favourite brands this summer has been Esprit. I have added quite a few pieces from the brand to my Summer Wardrobe, just loving the quality of the clothes and the fact that they offer something that is a little different from the majority of High Street stores. On a less happy note, I also managed to lose my favourite Esprit cardigan during a day in the park. The weather got warm, so I took my cardigan off and put it across my bag. At some point it must have slipped onto the floor and I didn’t notice until it was much to late. Despite retracing my steps,…

Black and White stripes from Gudrun Sjoden
Gudrun Sjoden is a brand that I can always turn to for a great quality, wear anywhere, dress. Using a range of Eco cotton, this Scandinavian brand assures you of a product that looks great, washes well and is kind to the environment too. My most recent Gudrun dress is the short dress in Eco cotton and elastane blend, and this is the sort of dress that can be dressed up or down, and is in a non crease fabric that makes it perfect for throwing in a holiday suitcase – a total no brainer. This is such an easy to wear dress – no buttons, zips or fastenings, you…

Maxi dress style – Perfect for Summer
The calendar says that it is Summer, but standing outside today watching Joe play football in biting wind, I’m not so sure. But one thing I am sure of is that it is maxi dress season. Confused, well let me explain. Maxi dresses have become a real summer staple, one that suit woman of all shapes and sizes, and work for pretty much every occasion. You can buy them in regular, petite and plus size fits, in styles that come from strapless to long sleeved, in heavier jersey to the lightest of cotton. And this is what makes them perfect for English Summer, as well as throwing in that holiday…
