Surely we must be in for some sun soon! And on the pretext of that we at Frock are thinking about the imminent summer 'season'. Corinne is dutifully planning her trip to Ladies' Day at Royal Ascot which involves quizzing me on what is coming in over the next few months in order to find her perfect frock! Luckily for Corinne and for all our customers, I have bought from several brands for this summer which deliver thoughout the season, so we have new dresses arriving all the time. Fever, one of our wonderful British labels has a stunning collection in juicy bright colours. It is coming in any day now so do keep an eye out. I think Corinne has pre-ordered her 'Loire' dress in green seen recently on Kara Tointon (the lovely Dawn in Eastenders)...no doubt she will cause DB to have a Fever in this pretty little number!

I always have time for a quick Q and A, and this one is from Lisa, who lives in lovely Wells-next-the-Sea. Lisa is a fellow fashionista - and always keeps an eye on Paris fashion week. She's quite short, 5'4", but wants to buy into the Retro 60s look which we all saw being strutted down the catwalk at Dior. (Well I wasn't actually there, but hey! I saw the pictures!) She wonders what we could put an outfit together which would suit her job as a travelling publishing rep.

Well Lisa, the sixties look is manifest this season with a lot of structured tailoring - think  Yves St Laurent in 1965, but in breathable fabrics!! With your height, Lisa, you should avoid fussy patterns, but go for bold colours - and the high hems and leggings of the sixties are great to elongate your figure!!&l ...

What I like about working for Frock is that we get really lovely deliveries from our French suppliers all through the season – something new every fortnight or so. Now I had just put the phone down the other morning, when the delivery man dropped off a big box full of this dress. Carol said I was squealing as I tried it on – and I knew it would have to be my first frock du jour! The lovely beaded trim on the neck, and the geometric almost Aztec print is soooo original, but on the lovely soft silk it is light as a feather! If they had hemlines this high it would be a real flapper dress – very 1930s Singapore! Now when February 14th came around, and DB nonchalantly offered to ‘pick me up fr ...

Well the social whirl has started one more time, and I have been out nearly every-like night since Boxing Day (despite my little mishap on thie slopes - but don't tell the boss!) ...or so it seems!! Last week my friend Manon (she’s a theatrical agent you know!) had a really fantastic idea for her friends birthday party a dinner and dance! There was meant to be a swing band – straight out of the forties!! Now I didn’t know what to wear – I’m desperately trying really really hard to not just buy dresses all the time – and so I came across this skirt in the Frock warehouse – and it’s absolutely the business!! I wanted to create that really tight silhouette &am ...

Frocks this month: 5  Shoes: 2 pairs

Now my absolutely top-notch favourite trend-du-jour is the embellished look. We all love jewels and a bit of sparkle for Christmas so this is the perfect look for the festive season! Remember less is more with this look, so don't go too overboard!

Since everybody is on Facebook these days, some of my old chums from Putney High had been repeatedly poking me, and we all decided (completely on line!!!) to meet up for an impromptu reunion!

Now what to wear – I didn’t want to dazzle everybody – but we ...
