This season there is a multitude of dresses in every possible colour, shape and style personality. But be careful out there it is a minefield! In today's blog, we're...

Well summer seems to finally be here (fingers crossed) and so are the sales!!! The beautiful sunny weather has seen us all heading into our wardrobes and grabbing our old favorite the Maxi Dress - but I wonder if we are all missing a trick? Gone are my days of having stick thin legs and not an ounce of cellulite to be seen, and indeed its replaced with that uncomfortable feeling (yes I think you know the one I mean) when you reach for summer skirts.

I surely can’t be the only one who struggles enormously with that in-between season, when my feet gently bake in my chunky winter boots, but flip flops spell frostbite or wet feet!
