Wallis – the perfect summer edit
I have to say I just love the new look Wallis website. I find that I am constantly taking a look at the landing page to see what the latest trends and style stories are, along with the months key buys and offers. Wallis has recently revamped its landing page, which now has a magazine like feel to it. If you visit at the moment you will find ideas for holiday packing, the latest summer drops, the sale link and the Wallis picks for July. It is easy to navigate and looks bright and inviting, all of which makes it a great place to shop. Great websites make us want…

The Friday shopping special this week is all about Wallis.

Today Wallis is offering up to…

Wallis Bloggers Day – Summer Sunshine Style
I spent a very pleasant Tuesday afternoon in the company of some very lovely bloggers and the fabulous ladies from Wallis PR at a special Wallis Spring/Summer blogger event.

The amazing Lilly Pulitzer died yesterday at the age of 81. She was the socialite turned designer who created the tropical and palm print shift dress that became a timeless style classic, one of those items that appears in designer collections and High Street ranges every single season. Lilly created the original dresses by happy accident, she wanted prints that could disguise orange juice and fruit stains, and used a range of fabulous, over the top prints, and beautiful bright colours to create dresses that were fun and yet retained a simple elegance.

Wallis 1923 Dress Collection – The Little Cream dress
Each season, Wallis dig into their rich archive to come up with the 1923 collection. This is a collection that re-images and re-masters old designs in order to bring something to the fore that has a vintage feel whilst being totally new. This season, the 1923 collection returns with a tribute to the Little Cream Dress. This is a beautiful range of dresses that feature beading and embellishment to create dresses that bow to quite a few different eras. There are Art Deco style curved rainbows that echo The Great Gatsby trend, albeit showing far more leg than even that racy era would allow. The Cream sequin shift dress is…
