Another Corker...

Monday 31st December 2007

We all get one every year don’t we. That dreaded present from the great auntie that you have to look excited about as the entire family watch you do your ‘Oh wow that’s gorgeous’ face (remember the reindeer jumper in Bridget Jones?!). Needless to say this year was no different for me. I...

The Mother of All Hints...

Monday 10th December 2007

Hail all boys out there still struggling for THE perfect prezzy for your lovely lady this Christmas. Or for those that have the daunting task of a birthday as well as Christmas (and Valentines day) coming up at this time of year... We've teamed up with Bex Rox to create...

Top of My List...

Friday 30th November 2007

This year I've already done about 90% of my Christmas shopping and it’s not even the 1st of December. Yes I'm gloating, my halo is shining and I'm not shy to admit it. With only a small space left to fill under the Christmas tree, I was beginning to wonder what on earth...

Let The Fun Begin...

Friday 16th November 2007

With only a few weeks till Christmas, the child in me is more than ready to come out and play. Last week I attended the first festive event of the season and spent both Thursday and Saturday (there was just too much to take in in one day) perusing the aisles...

Winter Warmers...

Friday 2nd November 2007

As the nights draw in, the leaves fall and the temperature plummets quicker than I can turn my wardrobe round, I think it’s about time to invest in a few staple winter warmers. So what’s it to be... a new chunky knit, woolly coat, jeans, boots, scarf, hat....I could go on. Actually...

Chocolate Rains...

Thursday 18th October 2007

Working in this industry, the post bag tends to get flooded with invitations to press days and events and it’s easy to become a bit choosy about the ones you have time to go to and the ones you don’t. But there are some that, no matter how busy you are, you just definitely...

Daily Temptation...

Thursday 4th October 2007

Ok so this could be seriously dangerous. Reiss has entered the online retail world. When it comes to trying to resist the daily temptation of online gorgeousness, I find my job quite hard enough but when one of your all time favourite stores sets up their online store and it’s pretty affordable,...

Fashion Week Fun...

Sunday 23rd September 2007

Starting with a fab makeover by MAC, thanks to Kat and her wonderful palette of goodies I managed to mingle with fellow fashionistas at London Fashion Week with a professional ‘glow’ and ready to hit the ground running. Already a huge fan of their makeup and never without their Stubborn Brown eyeliner...

Fragrance Frolics...

Thursday 6th September 2007

After a lot of deliberation I have finally bought myself a new fragrance. Really not a big deal I hear you say but for literally months I ‘ve been dithering and dathering about this scent. I knew I liked it but for some reason I couldn’t quite make myself buy it....

Dazed and Confused...

Friday 24th August 2007

Whilst I’m busy planning my winter wardrobe the transition between seasons can leave us girls feeling a little dazed and confused. With retailers proudly brimming with all their new Autumn Winter stock but the weekend’s weather forecast for a scorcher (about time too I say), if you want an instant fix and...

Get Set For Autumn...

Thursday 16th August 2007

At this time of year it’s difficult for us girls to know what to wear. Having stocked our wardrobes with all summer’s key pieces, the season has almost past with most of them not having had a look in. So I’ll just have to hope that I’ve shopped sensibly enough for some...

Holiday Prep...

Tuesday 31st July 2007

The time is fast approaching for my annual holiday to the beloved island of Alderney. Affectionately known as ‘the rock’ to all who have discovered this little gem of a place, you’ll find a whole crowd of slightly eccentric (some would even say mad) people landing for a week or two of...

A New Take On Self Tanning...

Sunday 22nd July 2007

With a summer like ours, there are two ways to go to get a tan: delve deep and head to sunnier climates or grab a tan in a can and go to ‘St Tropez’ over night. The other day, fed up with my whiter than white body and concerned about how much of it...

Male Grooming - How Far Should They Go?

Sunday 8th July 2007

When it comes to men and skincare there’s a fine line to the amount of time and money they can invest in it without being subject to reams of abuse. A toothbrush, an aftershave, a razor and perhaps a lick of hair gel is generally as far as the majority go in the...

How's A Girl To Cope?

Sunday 1st July 2007

Now I know I’m a bit of a weather stalker and I hate to bang on but come on, this weather really is beyond a joke. The longest day of the year has passed, Britain (not at its best) has been experiencing the worst flooding ever for this time of year and...

Wet Races & Soggy Hats...

Monday 18th June 2007

It’s the middle of June and you don’t need me to tell you that the weather is just not what we would hope it to be. After a glorious couple of scorching weeks about a month ago, it all seems to have gone down hill. OK, I know it’s not freezing,...

When The Pressure Is On...

Monday 11th June 2007

I know I’m not alone when I rush to switch on GMTV in the morning after a big awards ceremony or more recently the Cannes Film Festival. To be honest, I’m not all that interested in who won. The fashionista in me is desperate to see what they were all wearing, who...

My Own Denim Dilemma...

Thursday 31st May 2007

A great pair of jeans is an essential part of any woman’s wardrobe, and given that one tends to wear them day in day out, it’s something to get right. For men it’s generally pretty easy. Once they’ve worn through the knees of their Gaps, Diesels or Abercrombies they usually...

Pro the Pashmina...

Sunday 20th May 2007

I’m one of those cold blooded people who, no matter what time of the year it is, always feels the cold. As a result, I’m never without my beloved pashmina - in fact I’ve got one in pretty much every colour under the sun. I remember about five years ago, someone telling...

My Kind of Sweet Shop...

Tuesday 15th May 2007

My friends and family think I'm extremely fussy and impossible to buy for. I however beg to differ. In fact I think I'm pretty easy to please. You just need to know my taste and have a healthy bank balance to match! If you do want a guaranteed smile when I rip open...
