An evening of shopping and Fizz at Tommy Hilfiger, The Mailbox
Last week I attended a super stylish event at Tommy Hilfiger in Birmingham’s stunning Mailbox. The event was a perfect excuse to preview the new Spring/Summer collections whilst enjoying food treats from Tom’s Dinner and a chilled glass of Champagne. You could also take advantage of 20% off any purchases on the night, allowing you to update your wardrobe and save some pennies. The Tommy Hilfiger store in The Mailbox is a bright shiny store that is a gorgeous back drop to the classic, nautical and preppy designs that are the trademark of TH. This season there are lots of great pieces featuring stripes and pretty prints, as well as…

Strada Kids Party at the Birmingham Mailbox
Half term week had a special treat for Joe and I when we were invited to a special party at Strada in the Birmingham Mailbox.

The day started with the pizza making session. Pizza bases and a range of toppings were provided and the children all had great fun designing their own pizza. Joe was really happy…

Mailbox Sessions at the Everyman Cinema
The Birmingham Mailbox was relaunched in some style last month with Mailbox Sessions. Taking place over a weekend, the Mailbox Sessions were special, free events dedicated to showcasing the best of the Mailbox in terms of fashion and beauty, food and entertainment. Many of the sessions were presented by the lovely Lucy Kite from ITV, and all were well attended. I was invited to quite a few of the sessions, but the one which totally had me jumping up and down was a Breakfast at Tiffany’s special at the Everyman Cinema. The session was all about having breakfast at a screening of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, complete with Bucks Fizz and…

A trip to Birmingham always includes food, but, if I’m honest, Strada is not usually my first choice. But this is about to change with the launch of a new Strada Kids menu that offers delicious choices that are a world away from the ‘chicken nuggets and chips’ options that kids are so often offered. To celebrate the launch of ‘The Strada Squad Menu’ I was invited to bring Joe to a special tasting session at Strada in Birmingham’s Mailbox. The idea was that Joe could sample some of…
