We are approaching that time of year when we're ready to trade in our winter coats in favour of something a little more transitional. This is good news ... it means warmer days are hopefully ahead of us and there is an urge to refresh our spring wardrobe. A blazer is one of the items that... Continue Reading →

There is a definite hint of spring in the air ... the mornings are lighter, the days slightly longer, the garden is starting to come to life.

Ruffles ... it's fair to say they are one of the biggest trends to hit the high street this season.  During the Spring Summer 2017 (SS17) catwalk shows Chloe, Loewe, Valentino, Alexander McQueen and Dolce and Gabbana to name but a few were making it quite clear that ruffles were big news.
