The hour is near, the outfit is chosen, the rain is bucketing down. Typical. In celebration of my big (moist) night out, here are some last minute tips for bonfire night that are hotter than a flaming Guy atop a burning pyre.First off, since yesterday’s post, a few lovely readers (and one fellow mum on …

Sticking with the outdoors theme (am still no closer to deciding what I’m wearing on Friday and the forecast is for rain – noooooooooo!) the best thing to do if you’re trying to look glam in a winter garden/field/park situation is to opt for a blatantly blinging skirt that will dazzle all onlookers and take …

Can we all just take a moment to get cheapies (that’s cheap thrills for those of you who didn’t grow up in Yorkshire) over this splendiferous Joy blouse. I stroked it reverentially in-store today, but didn’t have time to try on (would you believe I actually have to curtail my window shopping to work?). But …

I’m off to a gig on bonfire night – not just any gig. My old man’s in a band, so occasionally (babysitting permitting – I know, rock ‘n roll!) I get to play the part of lead singer’s girlfriend and wear something even more outrageous than usual. You’ve seen the clothes I like, so let …

I …

Spotted two gorgeous dresses in the window of Oliver Bonas today. This Sharin denim dress by Vero Moda would look brilliant with patterned tights or knee high socks: And this eye-catching vintage floral design dress by Emily and Fin (wear with a belt for maximum waist and hip flattering impact) is perfect pre-Christmas lunch material:

Did anyone not love the beaded Chanel dress Keira Knightley wore to the Never Let Me Go premiere? “Hot” doesn’t do it justice. I certainly can’t splash out on Chanel this month (or any month soon), but riding on the beady/nuddy vibe, I’m tipping this Metal Mindy creation from FC:UK: And this more subtle and …

I promised myself that if I had a good morning, I would buy myself this Topshop winter dress. I am wearing it as I type…

Ooh I had a very busy morning on your behalf and found some of the bestest buys of the moment to be found in H&M and River Island. H&M is stuffed full of delights right now. There are 80’s inspired jumper dresses, girly minis with floral motifs in blacks and nudes, beautiful nude dresses with …
