Tomorrow the national wedding show comes to town. This must-see event for brides-to-be has practically everything for planing the perfect nuptials under one roof. This year promises to be bigger and better with a beauty zone in association with Prescriptives and live makeovers by Clothes Show veteran Caryn Franklin. Plus there will be hair and makeup advice from the team
at SFC Style and catwalk shows throughout. So if you're planning your big day, soak up the inspiring sights at London's biggest wedding exhibition of the season.


I'll be accompanying my 'bridezilla' friend to the show - checking out the fashion and new innovations in the wonderful world of weddings. She's has been talking excitedly about this event for months. Hmm...I better wear my flats, we could be there a while!

Isn't this dress beautiful? It's so versatile and easy to wear. You can dress it up for an evening with statement jewellery and high-heels or play it down with a jacket and flats. It's exactly the kind of staple piece a busy woman like me loves and The Sevilla Dress is just one of the fabulous designs available from the newly launched Isabella Oliver 365.

For those who may not be familiar with the label, Isabella Oliver is renowned for providing fantastic maternity wear for celebrities and yummy mums alike. But it's not only mums-to-be who have sought after the labels' chic pieces; I personally have a huge fashion crush with the brand, vowing that one day I'd grace a bump of my own with the stunning Audrey Dress - one of Isabella Oliver's celebrated designs.

And so it seems that by popular demand the 365 collection was a launch just waiting to happen - and it's finally here: a collection beautifully tailored and smartly designed for wearability throughout the year. Isabella Oliver 365 is available exclusively online and not a moment too soon. Here's my personal wish list:

Valentine's day isn't just for hopelessly loved up So-and-Sos. Being footloose and fancy-free is the perfect excuse to treat yourself. What better time to invest in some seriously nice goodies that only you need to enjoy! Here are my best buys:



Summer Butterfly Kimono

Oh how we long for Summer... this kimono dressing gown is that little bit of summer style we can embrace (at least whilst in the warmth of our boudoirs). Throw on this oh-so-pretty loungewear and you'll be walking on sunshine.

£40.00
Available at Idlewild London



Chanel Facettes D'or Nail Colour in Gold Fiction

Who needs a sparkler on the finger when you can have the look of 18-karat gold on your fingertips. This limited edition nail colour from Chanel covers nails in brilliant golden lacquer. Nails have never looked so dazzling.

Selected Femme Chunky Jewel Knit Dress

A bit of retail therapy is just what the love doctor ordered. Take a look at this beauty of a dress. A great day to evening piece. Knitted with contrast panels, it's a flattering shape and the gem embellished short sleeves add some serious glamour.
