Get the Balmain look for £38.00

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this dress .  George@ ASDA?  Oh, and wait for it, it gets better . . . for a very purse friendly £16! This is a really simple look and has a real 80’s feel to it which I totally love!
Onto the boots and I have three price options for you gals. Left to right: Peacocks £22.00 /  Moda in Pelle £95.00 / Aldo £100.00.  And as we live in Scotland, and 90% of the time it’s either raining or blowing an almighty  gale, a jacket is always a great companion when we are braving the Scottish elements! So my suggestion would be a biker short leather just to finish off this look. Balmain look – done!  And all for as little as £38.00. Oh yeah!

I love this look from the Gucci runway but check out my High Street alternatives for some Gucci glamour.  This dress from Peacocks is an amazing £12.00, and the boots from Topshop £120.00 will just finish the look off.  Keep hair slick and be bold with your make-up. This is one of those outfits that will make you stand out from the crowd so be bold with the attitude too ladies! Know it and work it!  Gucci look – done.   And all for £132.00.  Enjoy  x x

Henry Holland......For Pretty Polly
If you haven't succumbed already (I have) it'll soon be tights season once again, and time to re-visit your hosiery drawer. The odds are its contents will be looking a bit worn and ragged after a season of neglect, but fear not: tights are going to be huge this Autumn when we're all wearing ankle boots, and Henry Holland is among the designers making leg wear a priority
Check out Henry Holland’s new Hosiery line for Pretty Polly featuring sheer and opaque fabrics combined in quirky designs in a vibrant colour palette of fuschia, lilac and turquoise as well as classic black - all with House of Holland's signature cool boldness.  Henry Holland for Pretty Polly available at www.selfridges.com I love these opaque/sheer tights below.  Think I might have to put on a glittery mini though?  Well maybe not!

CREATE AND INDULGE

You’re scrabbling round on the pavement picking up the pieces of your broken necklace.  A passerby walks on the scattered bits and grinds them to dust.  It’s time to stop buying those cheap high street throw away necklaces and indulge yourself – you’re grown up now.  

Make your coffee break a time to choose something for yourself or for someone you adore.  Choose a special piece of jewellery that will last forever,  with colours that match your eyes and stones picked for their beauty and uniqueness.  It doesn’t have to cost a years salary…

Let Melissa at MJCJEWELS help you create the perfect present – that’s what she loves doing!   You will find out about stones you never knew existed in colours and shapes that make up into pieces quirky or classic, chunky or exquisitely delicate – you choose,  it’s your call;  your time to indulge, play and create exactly what you want.

These beautiful creations were designed by Melissa Cummings at MJCJEWELS.  Melissa started designing jewellery 8 years ago, initially operating from a small room in her Perthshire home. The company travelled world wide with Melissa - at times the sales office was a friends house in Cornwall or on the road in India where inspiration came from the stunning colours of Rajistan and the gentleness of  Kerala or travelling in Africa and getting lost in the back streets of Stone Town, Zanzibar…

She is inspired by the creativity and bold use of colour seen in remote parts of the world, as well as by the soft balance found in nature. This inspiration is channelled with an intuitive and artistic eye to complement and enhance the clothes designs for each season.

The seeds of some of the most successful designs continue to be drawn from a wealth of life experiences and from the astonishing breadth of different colours, shapes and markings on the stones she finds.  Always there is something new and wonderful to inspire…

The Ugly Truth PDF Print E-mail

The Ugly Truth 

It's Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus: The Movie. It's all about a hard-nosed producer, Abby (played by Katherine Heigl) who is seeking dating advice from 'honest' man's man Mike (Gerard Butler), who tells her to stick out her breasts, get hair extensions and never criticise her date.  Et voilà!  She bags a hunky doctor.  Soon Abby realises Doctor McBiceps has fallen for an imposter - he wouldn't accept the real, neurotic, controlling Abby.  But guess who does?

So, nothing groundbreaking here, but there are a few good jokes and the leads are super-attractive and charming.  If you like rom-coms and can ignore the sexual politics, you'll probably enjoy it.

Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl
