If there are a lot of alterations to be done to a dress should you buy it??

Going out for dress shopping is more of a challenge than an activity. Dress shopping is more of an emotional journey that you go on rather than a physical one. Choosing a dress of your choice entails that the dress looks good and most importantly, it fits you right.

Does clothes size really matter?

This is a question we get asked all the time, DOES CLOTHES SIZE MATTER????

The simple answer is NO.

A customer can easily be put off an outfit if the size she is trying on doesn’t fit and she has to go up a size. The customer panics, can’t understand how she has gone up a size and under no circumstances can that be acceptable.. The problem is not with the customer but with every clothing company out there.

The Right Amount You Should Spend on a Mother of Bride/Groom Outfit

How to change an outfit with out too much expense?

With our lives rolled out on social media these days, it’s getting increasingly difficult to really get the wear out of an outfit. We probably shouldn’t feel like we have to compete like this or that there is anything wrong with wearing occasion wear repeatedly.

To Denim or not Two Denim, that is the question

We thought we’d seen the last of the double denim trend when Irish pop band, B*Witched jigged their way out of the charts way back in the 90s.

But as they would say, ‘C’est la vie!’ Trends have an awful habit of returning; like it or not. Denim has never gone away and its versatility and comfort is probably why it reigns supreme in the style stakes. With the risk of looking like some Western cowboy caricature, can we honestly jump on this bandwagon?

Recycling mother of the bride outfits...don't mind if 'I do!'

As the mother of the bride, (MOB) you must have been over the moon to celebrate your daughter’s nuptials. To witness and be there for your daughter on her special and much anticipated day will have been one of your proudest moments. It’s true all eyes will have been on the bride BUT it’s also true some eyes will have been on you too, the mother of the bride.

Dishing the Dirt on the Skirt

Last week, one story that hit the headlines was that of Nicola Thorp who was sent home from her temporary receptionist job at PwC because she wasn’t wearing high heels. Enforcing high heels (especially given all the adorable flats these days!) in the office is the height of workplace sexism and yet there is no denying that we women have always fought a hardy battle when it comes to clothing.

The Forbidden Colour Combo Taboo....

Most people’s first source of style wisdom comes from their parents. Mothers tend to lay down the groundwork for stuff like styling and colour-matching. Chances are she told you that wearing black and navy at the same time is one of the biggest no-nos in the game.
