An evening with Roland Mouret at Selfridges Birmingham
One of the best things about being a blogger with an avid interest in fashion is that sometimes you actually get to meet your heroes. I have been so fortunate to meet the likes of Stella McCartney, Markus Lupfer, Philip Armstrong and Amanda Wakeley, and last week I got to add another illustrious name to that list, when the charming genius Roland Mouret made a visit to The Balcony at Selfridges, Birmingham, for a very exclusive fashion show. I was very lucky to get a front row seat. It is now eleven years since the Galaxy dress burst onto the scene and enchanted the fashion world, but Roland Mouret still…

This was something I knew I had to put right. So last Friday I took myself off the iconic Bullring Birmingham store with one of my favourite blogging ladies, the gorgeous Miss Emily Jayne, to sample the delights of an…

The Balcony opens in Selfridges Birmingham
Food Heaven has come to Selfridges Birmingham in the very tasty form of The Balcony. The newest part of the Searcy’s family of bars and restaurants had a very special bloggers evening last week, and I was lucky enough to be asked along to sample some of the exquisite dishes and cocktails that are on offer. I can honestly say that I can’t wait to pay a return visit. The Balcony is offering something a little different in terms of gastro delights. There are traditional and classic dishes with a twist, and new and exciting concoctions that make the mouth water at the thought. We started with a trio of…
