Dress Review – The Tove cotton dress from Gudrun Sjoden
Continuing with today’s rather dressy theme, this blog post is dedicated to reviewing a rather beautiful dress from one of my favourite brands, Gudrun Sjoden.

Boohoo.com have recently started stocking menswear, and currently have a great deal where you can get 20% off when you enter the code MEN20 at the checkout. Here…

The British Summer. Not great, is it? One minute you’re basking in glorious sunshine, the next minute you routing through your bag for a brolly! Even the hottest days have a tendency to go cool that catches you by surprise. But one style star seems to have British Summertime dressing down to a tee. Step forward Pippa Middleton. Pippa always seems to be dressed stylishly, yet appropriately, for our ever-changing climate. She wears pretty summer dresses, but adds a denim or leather jacket just in case. She will wear jeans, but add a cotton top and a pair of shades that make the outfit scream summer. She will wear a…
