Hostess With The Mostess...

Friday 28th November 2008

What would we do without all those hardworking party hostesses at this time of the year? At that infamous yearly Chrissy party, they always ensure that we’re watered, fed and, if need be, have a comfy bed to fall into after one too many... In return, we should bestow them with...

A Gentleman's Relish...

Wednesday 26th November 2008

By mid-December, we know we’re not the only ones who are willing to do the unthinkable - buy gift vouchers - rather than spend any more time browsing the web in vain for a gift for the notoriously difficult-to-buy-for men in our lives. You’ll be pleased to know that anything from...

Liven Up Your LBD...

Monday 24th November 2008

When buying twenty new frocks just isn’t an option (and God forbid, you have to recycle your LBD from last year’s Christmas party), invest in a striking piece of jewellery that will bring your old looks up to date for party season. We’ve all seen those ubiquitous gold charm necklaces (oh, you...

Think of England...

Friday 21st November 2008

Men can be wary when it comes to colour – but the most conservative of boyfriends / husbands / brothers / fathers aren’t entirely adverse to a bright pop of colour at the ankle. For this purpose, we’re enlisting the help of Lions Rampant, a brand spanking new company, whose preppy...

Get Your Voice Back...

Wednesday 19th November 2008

Let’s face it, we don’t blink when we hear a car alarm, and how many of us can honestly distinguish the incessant bleeping of an awry 4x4 from that of a personal alarm? Which is why so many women have stopped carrying the latter completely - terrifying when you consider that...

Wrap Up...

Monday 17th November 2008

Everyone loves a pashmina, and by everyone, we mean everyone. The girl sat next to you on the bus, the mother of the bride at your friend’s wedding, and the woman selling groceries at the food market. How we wish we could stand out from the sea of cashmere wraps… Our wish...

The Perfect White Shirt...

Friday 14th November 2008

For the moment, we’re cutting back on outrageous and short-lived trend pieces and instead investing in classic wardrobe additions that will last for seasons to come. And there’s one item that every woman needs in her wardrobe – a classic, white shirt. But who said the shirt had to make you look...

Help Is At Hand...

Wednesday 12th November 2008

Fighting your way through the masses in Christmas departments laden with bags and baubles is so last season and rarely fun... So to make your life easier, we’ve compiled the most covetable gifts in our Christmas Gift Guide (these gems definitely won’t end up on eBay...) – and the good news...

Put Your Best Foot Forward...

Monday 10th November 2008

Slippery, wet pavements and high heels = a broken ankle. Ladies, it’s time to invest in a pair of flats that will see you through the winter. The left side of our brains is telling us to go for practical black. But what could be more heartbreaking on a dismal day to...

Take Note...

Friday 7th November 2008

When a thank you email just won’t cut it for thanking your Godmother / Mother-in-law / Aunt for supper, it's time to get one of those old-fashioned writing instruments out - yes, a pen - and start scribbling on pretty writing paper. But internet shoppers needn’t worry – you don't have to...

Don't Sweat, Get 20% OFF...

Wednesday 5th November 2008

Ski season is nearly upon us, and because we never know who we'll bump into on the slopes, we're already planning our outfits. The good news is that you can keep your toes warm and still look fabulous, without needing a second mortgage. Style-savvy recessionistas will thank goodness for the new ski...

Sitting Pretty...

Monday 3rd November 2008

Modern life is hard. If you're not straining your hand clicking on a mouse all day, you're experiencing a new kind of RSI whilst scrubbing a mud stain off your precious cream carpet. We love a classic cream interior (why else would we get SO excited over new stain removers?) but...
