Wallis Blue Lace Shift Dress reviewed
My next review in my ‘life begins at 40’ series is the dress I actually wore for my birthday celebrations yesterday. It was gifted by one of my favourite brands, Wallis, and came in a stunning deep blue shade that my mom has long exclaimed to be ‘my colour’. The blue lace shift dress is a gorgeously vibrant 60s style frock. It has a double layer effect, with a sort of crocheted lace top layer, and then a stretchy block underlayer. With no buttons or zips, this is a style you simply put over your head, and the nature of the fabric means no ironing is required – making this…

Reviewed – Wallis Red Daisy Fit and Flare dress
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about my favourite picks from the new season pieces at Wallis. (You can read that post here.) The pieces I was most drawn to were the 1940s style tea dresses that came in a range of colours, and were floral and feminine. The lovely people at Wallis offered to send me one of the dresses to review, and I opted for the bright prettiness of the Red Daisy Fit and Flare dress. This was one that had caught my eye from the start. I love bright colours and prints, and this dress definitely had a real feel of springtime about it. I was…

Wallis Definitives Collection – Monochrome Magic
I love colour in my wardrobe, but sometimes it is good to see the world in black and white. And that may be why I am in love with the latest collection from Wallis. Called the ‘Definitives collection’, this is a range of black and white pieces designed to be mixed and matched for the ultimate in minimalist, elegant styling. What is the collection like? This collection seems to be inspired by the Kings of minimalism- Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, with lots of clean lines, sheer panels, and some great jackets. Add in some elements of Donna Karan and Victoria Beckham (the lace insert dress reminds me of the…
