The Perfect Little Party...
I have to give it to my sister in law, when it comes to organising and entertaining, she does everything absolutely beautifully; her wedding was nothing short of a military operation – five days (she's from the US) of parties organised and executed with serious style.
When it comes to her kids, the same rules apply. Her two little darlings never look anything short of pristine and perfect. Like something out of a Kent & Carey catalogue, the girls come to tea in matching smock dresses with pretty pink bows in their hair. (Sound twee? It is but fabulously so.)
I spent Sunday at her three year old’s birthday party.
Feeling a little rough round the edges (Henley Regatta was heavy and I don’t mean the rain) I can’t say I was all that enamoured at the prospect of a house full of children but needless to say, after a glass or two of Pimms and a Daylesford banger(she married a Brit - the grownups BBQ’d in the rain) it was well worth the effort.
It was no surprise to see my sister in law had gone to town with a powder pink and lavender colour scheme that incorporated plates, cutlery, napkins and table cloths. Table confetti comprised metallic pink and lavender ballet shoes and matching metallic balloons.
Even her girls were dressed on scheme with the youngest in a lilac smock and the birthday girl in a pink Bugs and Fairies ballet skirt...
The piece de resistance had to be the Hummingbird Bakery chocolate birthday cake coated in the most deliciously sickly thick icing...
Whilst the girls played with new tea sets, dolls houses and BumbleBags party bags, we snuck off to watch the tennis (good on you Nadal).

Antique Dining...
Now unless the 4 C’s come in to the equation (ie colour, cut, carat, clarity – you got it diamonds), I’ve always thought that antiques don’t really float my boat. At worst they conjure up images of an old Aunt’s home that was musty to say the least; at best they bring...

A Few Sites To Check Out...
Out and about this week I’ve come across some fabulous new businesses that we’ll be adding to the site shortly. I did a seminar at Pulse (a trade show for wholesales businesses) on Monday about ecommerce and afterwards snaked my way up and down the rows of exhibitors – exhibitors hoping that buyers...

New York Trends...
I was in New York last week (so much fun) and whilst there I wandered into the odd(!) shop because quite frankly, it would have been rude not to! Being a makeup junkie I love nothing more than the beauty halls of Bloomingdales and Macy’s and checking out all the latest makeup trends...

Coffee, Cake & A Good Gossip...
After coffee and cakes at Sketch this morning I was left feeling rather traumatised. Not at the coffee and cakes or Sketch (I could camp out there all day) but at the ‘home truths’ (on Hollywood’s rich and famous) that the glam gal from New York I was meeting with seemed to be...

Let The Wedding Season Begin...
For me, this weekend marked the kick off to the summer wedding season and if they’re all as fabulous as Saturday’s then I’m in for some good times. Glorious sun, delicious food, pink champagne (lots of it) and a bride and groom that are a match made in heaven. Groans and moans from hung-over...
