Christmas Adverts are in full swing!

The Christmas adverts have started to appear in fully swing this weekend on our TV. With the first showing of some favourites on Saturday! It was hard to miss which were your favourites on various networking sites. I thought I would share some of those with you today that I particularly like. 

First up we have the John Lewis Advert, The Bear and Hare. It is simply beautiful and nearly put a tear to my eye. I won't spoilt the story for you, click the link and have a watch yourself. :)

Another advert that grabbed my attention is the M&S Christmas advert. It combines some classic fairytale stories such as Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz with their clothes and accessories in a subtle way. And also features some famous faces.

Then you can't beat your old favourites.... everyone seems to be waiting eagerly for the well loved Coca Cola Truck advert. Oh boy did we know it had been on via Facebook and Twitter. You certainly know its the festive season when it is on. We all love it.

Finally, one of my old favourites as a child has to be the Toys R Us advert featuring Geoffrey the Giraffe. I just love the song and it just makes you want to sing a long. It makes me feel like a Big Kid :)

John Lewis:Coronation Dresses:Daniel

I am so honoured/proud that one of my friends Daniel Hubbard from Bridlington has had a role creating these beautiful iconic creations to celebrate the Queen's Coronation Anniversary. Daniel designed the dresses from the archive images and modified a few things but kept them true to the archive images.

The dresses originated from the John Lewis' archive from 1953, and prints were digitized and altered from the archive also, some of which originated from the 1800's and were hand painted.

All these beautiful dresses have been made in the UK, and are being showcased in fashion shows at Buckingham Palace Gardens between 11th july and 14th july to celebrate the Queens Coronation Anniversary.The only people to show case at this event are royal warrant holders.

The dresses have also been featured in Hello! magazine as a competition that you can enter and win one of the dresses of your choice made in your size. How fantastic! They have also been featured in the evening standard and Vogue.com

If you would like to see the dresses them selves, they are currently in the window of the John Lewis Store Oxford Street.
