A Woman's Secret Weapon...

Monday 29th September 2008

It’s what’s on the inside that counts, and for new website, Everything Under The Dress, this couldn’t be truer. The founders, Sally Heale and Karen Kay, know that whilst we all love that body-con dress and those 4-inch heels, VPL and blisters are definitely NOT glamorous. The online shop offers everything...

The Golden Touch...

Wednesday 24th September 2008

A Mother's Wisdom...

Monday 22nd September 2008

We all secretly wish we’d taken the time to cleanse, tone and moisturise when we were younger. Who really invests in plumping lotions and premature-ageing potions before they have discovered that first, pesky wrinkle? If only our mother had warned us. Luckily for our daughters/goddaughters/little sisters , Elizabeth Hallett has developed the...

Mosey over to MOZI…

Friday 19th September 2008

Vivid colour, fun prints and bags of character. For the girl who has everything from Cath Kidston, head to MOZI. The whimsical homeware brand, already a best seller in Australia (from where it originates), is now only a click away thanks to the launch of their UK website last...

What Lies Beneath...

Wednesday 17th September 2008

We rely on faithful Figleaves and good old M&S as much as the next woman, but the time comes when a girl needs to get serious about lingerie. And when this time does come, head to Dolce V, home to the best designer lingerie brands from around the world. The easy-to-navigate site...

Gone Fishing...

Monday 15th September 2008

Blooming Marvellous...

Friday 12th September 2008

What 21st century woman has time to keep the little ones happy, placate a tired and grumpy man, keep abreast of the busy social whirl, and harness the beneficial energy of fresh flowers in the home? The woman who clicks her way over to Bloom,that’s who. Let’s face it, there’s...

The Perfect Fit...

Wednesday 10th September 2008

Most of us can’t boast of an Elle Macpherson body (teeny waist, no hips, and legs that go on forever... life is unfair) and many designers seem to overlook this fact. We’ve all been there – slipping into a smart shirt to the sight of gaping buttons in the changing room...

Cut & Paste...

Monday 8th September 2008

If you read Friday’s Gok-inspired Luxemail, you’ll know that everyone’s jumping on the DIY bandwagon (it’s so this season, dahhling). But if the idea of digging out the sewing machine leaves you in a spin, then why not get crafty with your home instead. Thought wallpaper was reserved solely for Laurence...

Fashion With All The Trimmings...

Friday 5th September 2008

Gok’s Fashion Fix has taken haberdashery out of Granny’s sewing chest and into the realm of the seriously sexy, making DIY fashionistas out of all of us... And with an emphasis on embellishment this season, there’s never been a better time to experiment with a bit of customisation. MacCulloch & Wallis is a...

A Rare Treat...

Wednesday 3rd September 2008

Combine a sample sale with to die for designer jewellery and you get a match made in heaven. Sample sales might be aplenty but we’ve had a sneak peak at Astley Clarke’s latest and this one’s a rare treat that’s simply not to be missed... From Missoma (our absolute favourite) and Como...

The Perfect Pair...
