Full length and fabulous dresses – Time to Party.
A fabulous quote by socialite Susan Gutfreund in this month’s Vanity Fair “…You go to a black tie now and it’s so abnormal to see anyone wearing long. Most women it seems now wear their pyjamas out in the evenings.” I have to agree, and this is such a shame, especially at this time of year. For Christmas is the perfect opportunity to really dress up. And this year there are just so many beautiful dresses that fit that term ‘full length and fabulous’. Here are a selection available now, with any voucher codes and discounts I could find to help your be a super-stylish-saver too. Dorothy Perkins Dorothy Perkins…

Rooney Mara, Jennifer Lawrence,Felicity Jones and Elizabeth Olsen are amongst those featured. But it is the beautiful dresses in ice cream shades that have caught my eye. The softest of pink,…

Kate and Pippa – Cover Girls.
My favourite part of any month is the time when the new monthly magazines hit the shelves. I am always really excited by the idea of a few hours browsing through the fashion, gossip and stories in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle etc. So, in honour of this event, I took a trip to Wolverhampton this afternoon to enjoy a peruse around WH Smiths. Why while perusing, I noticed that we most definitely have a couple of new cover girls who need to be kept in pride of place on the news-stands. Step forward Kate and Pippa. Kate is currently gracing the front cover of June’s Majesty Magazine, in a beautiful…
