Jenny Packham causes a stir in Bond


Jenny Packham has designed the most wanted dress for the new Bond film, Casino Royale. Worn by the actress Caterina Murino the coral full length cowl neck silk dress has created a huge stir all over the globe. Apparently Jenny’s headquarter phones have been ringing off the hook. I love it, any girls dream stocking filler!

Contact the Packham team for more details, phone numbers can be found on her website

It's all about the LBD

I thought I liked the Givenchy Little Black Dress worn by Breakfast at Tiffany's Star Audrey Hepburn but there is obviously someone out there with a somewhat larger wallet and desire for it than me!
An anonymous telephone bidder has bid and won the dress for £410,000. What an expensive dress!

Fashion Storage: Clear space for more clothes!

I have lots of clothes and my wardrobe is just not big enough. Anyone else with the same problem? Well I discovered today a company in Toronto USA called Store Your Stuff which takes away your clothes and then can return them within tewnty four hours. Perfect to store those party dresses and shoes clogging up your wardrobe space. A bit like big yellow storage but with less effort on the customer's part and they keep your clothes in specially designed clothing stroage areas. I wonder if this will kick off over here, keep your eyes open.

Treat yourself with something special for xmas. If you've never been to a sample sale before your in for a treat. They can be really good. You can get pieces that no one else will have or designer pieces at knock down prices. But be warned there sometimes is a lot of crap. You might find not very well made things that were tried out and rejected or pieces that are so small your big toe wouldn't venture in! Just don't buy something you have to fix or have no idea how to fix. Make sure you try it on there are no refunds or exchanges. It might stay in your wardrobe for a long time. That one off, spur of the moment bargin could turn into a wardrobe skeleton.
