It’s my favourite time of the month, when I choose a customer's question!
Suzie lives right in the middle of Norwich, where she works for a busy solicitors practice. She's been wearing Frock frocks for 6 months now, but has never been able to take the plunge with a maxi dress. She wonders if there are any tips I can give her.
Well, thanks for dropping me a line Su - having spent most of last summer literally living in them, I'm happy to say the maxi is definitely on-trend for this summer as well - only this time they'll be sunshine too - she said touching wood like mad!! It's really exciting Suzie a ...

We were all having a really animated discussion last week in this dinky new Wine Bar in Weybridge…all about green. It's been officially on-trend now for 2 months, and I have to say that I came clean; I cannot wear bright apple green - the absolute shame. Not in cotton, not as a coat, and not even as a silk dress (unless I trowel on the foundation!).
You'll know that bright apple green - just a degree brighter than the traffic light and with a touch of yellow. But what's a girl to do? The colour looks great in the shops - strong ...

Do you remember last year's Boat race? Me on telly? DB with his injuries? Well no excuses last week and he was lucky enough to be able to escort me! Now it's SO smashing to live in Putney, almost like being by the sea - but without the horrid wind!
This year DB had a buddy in the Cambridge boat, Jamie (oh dear!!!!) and we were going to have a spot of late lunch with his girlfriend Faye, as we knew that he would be rather tied up for the afternoon one way or the other!!! The eternal problem for me was what to wear? - it's always SO tricky ...

The new summer collection from Fever...online soon! |

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!

As big fans of Facebook…we were very excited to see that one of our favourite suppliers Fred Sun (think Parisian chic and Breakfast at Tiffany's) is holding a competition for Miss Fredsun Facebook 2008. All you need to do is post a picture of yourself on the Facebook group (link below) dressed in your Fred Sun frock. Miss Fredsun Facebook 2008 will represent the brand on facebook and win a dress of her choice! It’s worth a shot….especially for a free frock! Go on…glam up and get snapping…..

A 60s look for the breezes of sping... |

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 ...

Le Frock du Jour! |

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 ...

OK, ok – I’m going back to basics now, and not going to talk about Frocks just for 5 minutes!! Despite Christmas being just around the corner (hooray!!) here are two pieces which are just divine all rounders – and I just know you adore our garments which have a double life – from boardroom to ballroom...(or photocopier to All Bar One !)
