    Style icons – A tale of two Jessica’s

    Continuing with my look at the ladies whose wardrobes I would happily fall into I turn my attention to two ladies who share the same first name, as well as the same, impeccable, ladylike sense of style. Jessica Chastain has had a stellar year in fashion in 2014. As well as being one of the best actresses of her generation, she is also a lady I always look out for on the red carpet, interested to see how she sets off that porcelain skin and Rita Hayworth hair. She makes both fabulous and interesting choices, from shimmering royal blue metallics that are the perfect choice for a redhead, to citrus…

Now is actually a brilliant time to find yourself a bargain buy, but without any of the crushes, the falling televisions and the hype. As we move closer to the big day I am going to try to share some more Christmas gift ideas for the whole family, along with fashion pieces that can carry you from walking around a Christmas market, to feasting on the turkey, and enjoying the ultimate dress up night – New Year’s Eve. I’m starting with some…

But jumpers are not just something to wear when it gets cold, they can also be a really glamorous evening option too. Just ask the people at Wallis. Wallis have taken knitwear in an elegant, evening direction. Using embellishments, glitter thread and fluffy wool, Wallis have…

    Wallis new season – dresses with sleeves!

    Today’s post is a continuation of the look towards the new season ranges that are now hitting stores and websites. I think we can safely say that we all accept that Summer is over and Autumn has begun. I personally love the changing of the seasons, and the new styles that come with it. Autumn, in particular,  is a lovely season that brings gold, brown and orange to the fore in terms of nature, but also see new colours hitting stores. This season cobalt and teal are looking to be popular choices – a real departure after a summer of pastel shades, whilst there are also an abundance of red…

    Reviewed – Multi Sequin Print Maxi Dress

    As a real lover of maxi dresses, it was inevitable that when I packed for my recent holiday in Menorca, the case was going to contain quite a few pretty maxi’s. The multi sequin print dress from Wallis was always going to find room in my bag, the colours are just so pretty, this was calling out for a holiday sun tan to set it off perfectly. The multi print sequin dress is distinctly Pucci style in it’s vibrant print. Made up of gorgeous summer shades, yellow, pink, blue and purple that give an Aurora Borealis effect when meshed together, the dress is perfect for anyone who just loves bright…
