Could Metallic be the new Sequin of 2018? We have seen the sequin trend roll in year by year ready for Christmas and New Year. This year seems a little more refined than usual. Sequins are still across the shops, but this year they are trimmed down into little smooth shapes, glued flat to the fabric. Finally, we can now wear sequins without the worry of them scratching any bare skin in sight! Although, there's a new party fabric that has my attention. Metallic foil, in the most beautiful jewel tones you could imagine. There's something quite fun in dressing like a fabulous Quality Street chocolate!

After moving to Birmingham City Centre, I became pretty lazy when it came to shopping. I walk through the centre daily, so the thought of shopping there never really appealed to me. Online shopping became my go-to, yet so did the returns counter. So much so, I actually became a regular and made friends with a lovely lady at a Doddle stand. Safe to say, online shopping hadn't always been successful and shopping for myself was losing its enjoyment. So when intu Merry Hill invited me along on a shopping trip, the process of actually planning a day out to shop and treat myself felt exciting!
