Last minute beauty buys

At the airport I had to make a few last minute/essential beauty purchases as lack of suitcase space had meant I had no creams, lotions or potions. Short of time and having to keep an eye [...]

Kids are on board with Crew clothing

Perhaps a cheery ‘ahoy’ and telling you how heartily I have ‘scrubbed the decks’ would be expected round about now but to be honest as soon as we got on board the boat all I wanted [...]

Wiggle it (just a little bit!)

I have been absent from the blog for a while due to moving house and planning our travels so excuse my lack of regular blogging. A few weeks ago we had a leaving party at our [...]

Join the ‘no frills’ gym

You don’t need me to tell you how important it is to work-out but for many people the cost of joining a gym is enough to send them slobbing back to the sofa munching a pack [...]

I’ve been to college and University but never Boob School. Yesterday the five of us (that’s me and my Quadraboob) went along to the Bravissimo, W1 to achieve better results with the perfect fitting bra… All [...]

Seeing things in black and white

I’m loving the monochrome/graphic look that is currently (back) in fashion. It’s retro, it’s cool and it’s certainly easy to achieve. Either grab some black and white from what you already have in your wardrobe, add [...]

Double Denim? Double thumbs up

It’s something I never imagined I’d be thinking, let alone wearing and sharing on my blog – yes folks, Double Demin is back. The look ‘championed’ by Jeremy Clarkson and B*Witched is now as hot as [...]

Unsung Beauty Heroes

This morning as I was allowing my T Gel the two minutes it needs to magically stop my scalp from itching like there are a gazillion ants wriggling over it I realised how unappreciated it must [...]

Get the edge on 1930s fashion

Who watched the first part of the BBC’s drama Dancing On The Edge? If you did you’ll know just how amazing the 1930s fashion looked (and if you didn’t, well you’re in the right place…) As [...]

Diary of a Next fashion shoot

It’s hard to believe as I sit here at the dining table in my scruffy jumper, jumbo mug of tea by my side that yesterday I was somewhere very different. I was one of 8 bloggers [...]

What I’m wearing for Christmas linky

What will you be wearing on Christmas Day? Are you staying in your PJs all day or donning a festive jumper? Or perhaps you’ve made a special purchase and are going all-out-glam for the Big Day. [...]

Lingerie wish list

*If you’re looking to treat the one you love (or yourself for that matter) to some new lingerie take a look at Figleaves, the site that carries just about every type of lingerie you can think [...]

What will Kate wear next?

*The reaction to the news that Kate and Wills are expecting a baby has been pretty big (understatement of the year). The discussion surrounding what will be in Kate’s maternity wardrobe has been even bigger. I’ve [...]

Wishlist: Avenue 32

Shopping online at Avenue 32 is like hot-footing your way around all four major fashion weeks and then some. Featuring both established and emerging design talent I’ve had a rummage through the rails and picked out [...]
