You’ll Like The Look Of This…

Friday 31st August 2007

Like the look of this? Us too. The good news? It’s all in the sale that starts today. The bad? There is none! The sale is across all collections at online swimwear boutique Sand In My Toes and the range is fabulous. Tuck your purchases away until your next hot hols and...

A Long Loving Favourite...

Thursday 30th August 2007

There are some things: the pashmina, the UGG boot that we’re told by those in the know are just passing phases. But some things are destined to become long loving favourites especially for those who feel the cold, like to be snug but still want to look their best. So this A/W it’ll...

High Class & Highly Sought After...

Wednesday 29th August 2007

New beauty boutique Panache Cosmetics is a beauty boutique with a difference. Instead of launching with any and every skincare brand they can get their hands on, they’ve carefully selected a highly sought after but small range of high class brands from London, Barcelona and New York. Their leading skincare lines include:...

Actions and Words...

Tuesday 28th August 2007

Organic, fair trade, ethical – it’s all we ever hear or read at the moment. Not that that’s a bad thing – it’s about time we all started doing our bit for the planet. And your little ones can do their bit too – or at least you can help them...

For The Weekend's To Do List...

Friday 24th August 2007

According to the BBC tomorrow’s going to be great. 25 degrees and a big fat sun – not exactly a scorcher but it’ll do me. Perhaps you’ve enjoyed frolics on foreign shores, perhaps you’ve had wet walks mixed with sunny spells on the British coast, or perhaps you’re lucky enough to be...

When You Just Know...

Thursday 23rd August 2007

There are times when you see something and instantly know it’s for you: a house you’re viewing for the first time that ticks every box in your mental check list; the wedding dress you tried on that fulfilled every girl’s dream; the latest must-have that you know there’s just no way...

Truly Truly Scrumptious...

Wednesday 22nd August 2007

If you’re after a decadent gift with a difference then head to Berry Scrumptious. Set up and run by a charming Scottish couple, their hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries are an absolute delight. The strawberries are grown on their own farm as well as being sourced from other farms so that you...

No Need To Crave Style...

Tuesday 21st August 2007

The UK high street is like no other when it comes to affordable fashion. And now the same can be said for maternity wear. Because stylish maternity wear need not cost a fortune; visit Crave Maternity and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the style, the quality and the price tag. Loved by...

A New Approach To Beauty...

Monday 20th August 2007

Today’s about another skincare brand. But unless we thought it was well worth it we’d wouldn’t bother you with it. And this one is worth it. Zelens is another doctor skincare brand, this time formulated by not yet another cosmetic surgeon but by a world-leading authority on skin cancer and reconstructive beauty,...

Rejuvenate Your Home...

Friday 17th August 2007

With all this talk of updating your wardrobe for Autumn / Winter don’t overlook how important it is to update your home too. If it’s in need of some love then why not pay The Cotswold Co a visit. They offer stacks of ideas, and if you purchase from the...

The Miller Effect...

Thursday 16th August 2007

If you read the Miller Sister Making Their Mark blog the other day then you’ll know that we’re giving Sienna and Savannah’s new fashion label, Twenty8Twelve the thumbs up. And the wait is over because it’s now available online at My-Wardrobe. So don’t hang around, with so much hype in the...

Fill The Pressie Cupboard...

Wednesday 15th August 2007

I don’t know about you but I always seem to pass lovely gift stores when I don’t really need them. If one was sensible, we’d just go in, there and then, and stock up with goodies for the present cupboard. If you’re not organised enough to have a present cupboard and...

She's Got The Idea...

Tuesday 14th August 2007

When staying with friends a couple of years ago I was intrigued to see the array of Hermes enamel bracelets that our hostess matched with whatever colour combination she happened to be wearing that day. After much admiration on my part it emerged that she had a husband so well trained that...

Like Father, Like Son...

Monday 13th August 2007

Holidaying in Mauritius last year my heart melted at the sight of a daddy and his two little boys in matching swimming trunks. And I’m clearly not the only one because at SheerLuxe HQ we’ve had a barrage of emails asking where you can get your hands on them. So we thought we’d...

Be Ahead Of The Game...

Friday 10th August 2007

I haven’t got time for those women who lay their claims on everything and anything that’s new for the season virtually before they’ve even seen it. I don’t mind others having the same as me... but I do like to have it first. With this in mind we thought we’d give...

Worth The Wait...

Thursday 9th August 2007

This is one I’ve been waiting for; it has been worth the wait. Edgy fashion jewellery boutique, EC One has, after much anticipation, launched its online store. EC One showcases a range of pieces from sought after designers that include Alex Monroe, Pebble, Shaun Leane and Stephen Webster. They’re winners of the UK...

One Two Buckle My Shoe…

Wednesday 8th August 2007

Time is precious and little girls grow up far too quickly; when it comes to dressing, tradition is the obvious choice to preserve the magic. Pretty smock dresses in pastel colours are a firm favourite but why not add some fun to their wardrobes too. Poppy does just this. Her bold and...

Gym Envy...

Tuesday 7th August 2007

Our American friends across the pond have been on to it for years but as usual, us Brits seem a bit behind the times - especially when it comes to stylish sportswear. And it’s a shame because old t shirts and tatty trackies just aren’t a good look, and there are...

Take Your Tan To The Max...

Monday 6th August 2007

No doubt you made the most of the glorious weather this weekend and spent your precious spare time basking in the sunshine. Maybe you were sensible (took on board what beauty eds have been drumming into you) and applied a minimum SPF 15. Or being a Brit, maybe you weren’t. And if...

Love Linen, You'll Love This...

Friday 3rd August 2007

If you love linen then you'll love this: the August sale is now on at the Volga Linen Company. The store, that offers an exquisite collection of pure linen from Russia, celebrates its Tenth Anniversary this year. The flax - the natural fibre that gives linen its distinct quality and texture -...

Dress To Impress...

Thursday 2nd August 2007

So perhaps this it... or are we tempting fate in saying that summer’s finally here? Well whether this is just a cruel taster that’s set to be whipped from under our noses or the real deal – one thing’s for sure - we’ve really got to make the most of it. So...

A Taste Of Summer...

Wednesday 1st August 2007

If you owe your man dinner but your budget has gone on the summer sales or a last minute holiday to foreign shores then don’t despair because we’ve got just the thing now the sun’s shining. Why not take a little rug, a box of goodies and find a comfy spot in...
