Glamour Beach Puss...

Friday 30th March 2007

Today’s woman can look as glamorous in her yoga and swimwear as she can in her eveningwear, and swimwear just seems to get more and more glamorous every year. I remember the days when all you had was the pick of a few high street stores or a tomboy surf brand...

Bag Yourself One of These...

Thursday 29th March 2007

If the idea of a bulky baby bag oozing with pampers, muslin cloths, bottles and wet wipes isn’t a pretty thought, let alone a pretty look when combined with your new patent pumps, then fear not, Alexandra Bee is at hand with bags that ooze style as opposed to nappies, as...

Your Local Farmers' Market…

Wednesday 28th March 2007

Love the idea of nipping down the road to your local Cotswold Farmers' Market, supporting local producers (rather than Tesco pockets) and cooking up hearty food made from the freshest produce? Only problem is you live two hours away from anywhere resembling such a thing (and that’s on a good...

Your very own bit of Island Life...

Tuesday 27th March 2007

A handsome husband, the most divine little boys, a beautiful beach house on a Caribbean Island (you’ve probably seen the pictures in hello!), a sun tan 12 months a year…sound like the perfect life? Well it’s India Hick’s life and we reckon it sounds pretty perfect. As well as all...

Summer Comfort in Style...

Monday 26th March 2007

The comfort of a cosy night in on the sofa, a hung-over Sunday or a day lounging in the summer sun need not come at the expense of style. Hush create clothes that are designed to be worn around the house - nightwear that isn't confined to the bedroom; loungewear...

The Perfect Dress...

Friday 23rd March 2007

I know I’m not alone when I say that there are times when, although I've got a wardrobe packed full of clothes, I feel like I’ve got nothing to wear. And I know that I’m not alone when I say that sometimes I just want something that I can throw on...

The New Size 0...

Thursday 22nd March 2007

I’m just not into technology, in fact I’m positively backward when it comes to it (surprising I know for someone who run’s a website!). My ipod is currently collecting more dust than the top of my pictures and if I hadn’t won it in a competition a couple of...

Chocholics This Way...

Wednesday 21st March 2007

I just don’t know where this year has gone. I was arranging a dinner party last week and the earliest date we could all do was June! And with Easter creeping towards us at the rate of knots (of which those of you who gave up chocolate for Lent will be...

Maximum Style, Minimum Effort - For Him...

Tuesday 20th March 2007

If you're tired of the fact that all the decent fashion websites are aimed at women, then you’ll love Men a La Mode. Think Net-a-Porter for men (though they’re not run by the same people) and you’ll get the idea. Men a La Mode is the UK’s first online boutique offering unprecedented...

Skincare To Take Note Of...

Monday 19th March 2007

Finding a good moisturiser is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack – there are just so many on the market, offering so many solutions and making so many promises (many of them false!) that’s it difficult to know where to start. Girl friends are always asking what to...

Start Spring in the Shade...

Friday 16th March 2007

Puffy eyes. A horrendous hangover. Too little time to apply the wall paint. A great pair of sunnies will cover a multitude of sins – not to mention protecting your eyes from the sun, and there’s nothing like starting Spring with a new pair. This season follow trend and go for...

The Denim Dilemma...

Thursday 15th March 2007

They might be the current denim du jour but personally I just don’t dig the flare. And this thing about them being so flattering I just don’t dig either. Surely the bulkiness of them isn’t slimming at all. If you’re after slimming and you’re figure is more Catherine Zeta Jones that...

Luxe Leather This Way...

Wednesday 14th March 2007

If you always like to look your best then you’ll appreciate that tatty accessories can completely let the side down and if equally, you like your collars and cuffs to match, as well as everything in your handbag, then head to Aspinal where you’ll find a delicious range of accessories designed...

Green Fingers Not Required...

Tuesday 13th March 2007

My fingers are positively pink and manicured, in fact they couldn’t be less green if I tried. But if like me you’re one of those people who just loves nice things then you too won’t need green fingers to love PlantStuff, the place to go for everything both stylish and practical...

No Beating Around The Bush…

Monday 12th March 2007

Fed up sending flowers? Desperate to find a gift that won’t go straight into the present cupboard? Well as always we’re here to help and with Mother’s Day in mind, we’ve got just the thing. At Happy Box there’s no beating around the bush – their boxes are and do exactly what...

How much must you pay for a must-have...?

Friday 9th March 2007

Must-have bags seem to be creeping up and up in price. It wasn’t that long ago that £500 credit on your card would be more than enough (Birkin aside) to bag you the latest hot holdall but it now seems de rigeur to shell out £750 for your Paddington, your Stam...

Make time for tea...

Wednesday 7th March 2007

Cucumber sandwiches without the crusts, hot cross buns, cup cakes, scones & jam and earl grey all play a part in the fine English tradition of afternoon tea. Now you might think taking tea is a thing that your grandparents used to do but tea itself is as popular as ever(with...

Start style young...

Tuesday 6th March 2007

If you’re the quietly confident type, more Marni and Miu Miu than Dior and DKNY, and want your children, your god children and your nieces and nephews to be as well dressed as you, then you’ll just love the Caramel Baby & Child new spring summer collection. It delivers modern style...

Be seen in purple & green...

Friday 2nd March 2007

The new Boden catalogue and a glass of wine are always good company after a long day. And if you don’t already love Boden you might just change your mind after you’ve seen the Spring / Summer collection. The great thing about Boden is that their clothes keep an eye...

Liven the soul with magic…

Thursday 1st March 2007

The transition from cold to warm seasons can be tough. Emerging from a winter-worn cocoon of cosy duvets, chunky knits and comfort food to somehow muster the energy needed to tackle the new season’s collections and, the get-up-and-go to start planning things for the evenings, Desperate House Wives aside, is hard. The...
