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…

Zalando – Inspired by ‘New Girl’
This has got to be one of my favourite ‘inspired by’ collections ever! Zalando.co.uk have put together a fabulous new collection of must have looks that have drawn direct inspiration from ‘New Girl’. And, as new girl stars one of my fave style crushes, both on and off-screen, the wonderful Zooey Deschanel. Zooey, who I now doubt will be watching in her blonde stage very soon, in my annual watching of ‘Elf’, has a distinct style often referred to as kooky,but which I prefer to call retro eclectic. Both on and off-screen, she favours ultra-feminine prom queen styles in both primary and pastel shades. Full skirts, nipped in waistbands and…

M&Co – A fabulous Festive Offering
I love that time of year when the shops suddenly become all sparkly and glittery, and we start to think about the real party season.

Because Christmas is the one time of the year it is actually encouraged to be as bright and sparkling as a Christmas tree, and the seasonal offerings from our favourite stores echo this fact. For a spot of Sunday shopping this week, I’m turning my attention to M&Co. They have started to promote their party shop and it is chocked full…

Tights! What tribe are you in?
Tights are an integral part of a women’s wardrobe, but that doesn’t usually apply in summer. But this year has seen women everywhere wearing sheers, nylons and opaques with all manner of outfits. Blame it on the hotpants, blame it on the weather, even blame it on the Middleton’s, it seems that 2011 may be the year that tights joined our summer wardrobe. But do you wear them, and, if the answer is yes, which tribe are you a member of. Here is a guide to the tight tribes. The bright brigade – Leader Lady Gaga To be honest, wearing a suit with shiny metal nipple spikes may draw your…
