Summer Loving...
Thursday 26th June 2008

Birkenstocks are the most comfortable shoes out there. Fact. If you’re like me and hate plasters all over your feet and anything between your toes then these are the summer shoes for you. And now, thanks to teaming up with Breast Cancer Campaign, Birkenstock have brought out some delicious hot patent pink...

Fun & Fabulous...
Monday 2nd June 2008

Fabulous fun jewellery is such an important part of my wardrobe. I know that whatever mood I’m in (ie good or body day) that a statement piece (ie knock-out necklace or sparkly art-deco earrings) can ‘make’ the simplest and the safest of outfits. Needless to say it can be struggle to...

I Want One So Bad...
Monday 19th May 2008

Ooooh I want one so bad! Want what? I hear you ask. Well, these new bracelets that SheerLuxe featured a few weeks ago by designer Jessica Kagan Cushman. They're just too cool! Have a look for yourself. The clever little minx has taken well known quotes from films and books as...

Forever In Fashion...
Wednesday 23rd April 2008

"I love white because it never goes out of fashion" says Nick Burrin, founder of New England Lifestyle. This fabulous homeware shop sells absolutely everything.... yes, you've guessed it, in white. From bookcases, to sofas to mirrors. The feel and look of this neutral furniture is supposed to...

It Won't Be Long Now...
Wednesday 9th April 2008

So it's nearly that blissful time when we get to go on holiday, lie on the beach and do nothing... (ahhhh let's just bask in that thought for a mini escapist moment). Thank god for summer holidays otherwise I'm sure we'd all go slowly mad. It’s what we all live...

Novelty T's and Purses...
Sunday 2nd March 2008

Antoni & Alison has always been my favourite designer for novelty t-shirts and purses and I’m jumping for joy that I can now buy them online rather than traipse to their shop in EC1. If you’re not familiar with their work then log on to their website at once. Trust me,...

Listen To Vinnie Boys...
Tuesday 12th February 2008

Hhhmmm so Valentine’s Day rears it’s ugly head again…. No flowers please, nor any chocolates and definitely no teddy bears. The way to my heart is jewellery. And boys, listen, if you can’t stretch your bank balance to some big fat diamonds then silver is certainly the next best thing. For me,...

Fond Memories...
Monday 28th January 2008

Now I know that if I say the words The Body Shop you’ll have flash backs to fond 80’s memories of animal shaped soaps and those small bath oil balls that squirted you in eye... But recently I wandered in - lured by the smell of mangos and cherries - and I...

Wedding Shoes...eek!
Thursday 10th January 2008

My best friend is getting married in the Summer and last weekend we spent what seemed an eternity stomping around London searching for her wedding shoes. What seemed like such an easy (and enjoyable) task actually turned into a tantrum inducing nightmare. With the January sales in full swing it probably...

The Most Fashionable Geek...
Monday 3rd December 2007

Ok, so am I geek if I want a laptop case for Christmas?? Hmmm, this is what I’ve been debating all morning. But I’ve decided that in this day and age, it’s an essential and chic part of your technological wardrobe. Stuffing it into a plastic bag when you want to...

The Dreaded Christmas List...
Thursday 22nd November 2007

That time of year again. How has it come around so quickly? Before we know it we’re all uttering that sentence and slowly but surely turning into our mothers as we huff and puff that we simply don’t have the time to buy presents not to mention write Christmas cards (think...

The Bag Lady...
Tuesday 6th November 2007

Oh god, when do I start worrying that I have a handbag fetish and that I really am a 'Bag Lady'..? For most girls there can never be too many shoes, but for me (as you might have gathered!) it’s handbags. I just can’t seem to get enough. Searching online for a present...

For Him, Look No Further...
Sunday 7th October 2007

It's no secret that shopping for men is a total nightmare. They always think it’s us girl who are tricky; girls might be a little hard to please but men just seem to have everything. I sometimes wonder if that's why some relationships fizzle out after a few years - you simply...

This Is Love...
Monday 10th September 2007

Oooh, I’ve fallen in love. Nope not with a stud of a man but with a handbag. It’s just perfect... It doesn’t answer back, comes with to every party, every pedicure and on every shopping spree I desire and holds all my belongings (and more!) without even a hint of a...

The Latest Must-Have...
Tuesday 21st August 2007

How often do you see a cute guy in Starbucks, in the gym or your favourite bar, drop your jaw and drool but then walk away without so much as a wink in his direction. Us single girls complain non-stop about a lack of cute men but the truth is,...

Some Summer Advice
Monday 6th August 2007

If I could offer you one piece of advice for summer - it wouldn’t be sunscreen... it would be to invest in a comfy pair of shoes. There is simply nothing worse than unsightly plasters wrapped around tortured heels. With this season’s current trend for strappy Gladiator style sandals it’s can be...

Hair At Last...
Sunday 15th July 2007

Hair at last - a designer that has finally suceeded in making head bands cool. Stacey Lapidus has launched her online shop selling jewel-tastic designs. The former fashion accessories editor at Vanity Fair, and before that Kate Spade employee, knows a thing or two about great accessories. Lapidus has combined her...

Let's All Be Saints...
Tuesday 26th June 2007

Need proof that you never need to queue in a shop again? Then visit AllSaints.co.uk. I just live for this fabulous shop – it’s brimming with simple items that all have their own funky twist- and now that it has launched its online boutique (perfect for us lazy girls) I love it...

An Essential Accompaniment
Tuesday 29th May 2007

Every girl needs a beaded clutch in her wardrobe - fact. They’re an essential accompaniment to a delicate outfit for a summer party, a wedding or just an evening out with friends and they look far more classy than lugging a bulky bag over your shoulder. (Just make sure you don’t...

A Global Demand for Arm Candy...
Tuesday 8th May 2007

Wow, you know you have created a ‘must-have’ when you’re globally in demand. And that’s exactly what CCSkye has achieved with her new uber funky jewellery and accessories line. If her name doesn’t ring a bell then you will certainly recognise her woven leather and 18k gold chain bracelets, made famous...

Get Touched Up...
Saturday 24th March 2007

Us girls and our make up. What would we do without it? Why is it that we look so immaculate when we head out for the evening, flawlessly made-up to perfection at the start of the night, but when we reappear at 3am and look in the mirror, it’s quite a...

Love or hate jeans, you'll love this site...
Monday 26th February 2007

Put down your cup of tea and log out of FaceBook because I have found a website that is a far better way to fill your lunch break. ILoveJeans.com is a great little 12.30-1pm project whilst you scoff down your prêt sarnie. Every girl luurves their jeans. It’s the staple piece in...

Accessories to die for all under one roof...
Monday 12th February 2007

As many of you will agree - trailing around shops is ‘so last season’. Shopping has taken a turn… sitting on your bum and letting your fingers do the work is definitely the new dimension. Internet shopping is the lazy girls ticket to paradise. And what’s better, us girls at SheerLuxe.com...
