Borrow, Party, Return

Friday 30th January 2009

We’ve all been there. You’ve got a very important social engagement on the agenda, with very important people, and you simply must be wearing a very important dress. But V.I.Ds are all too often hideously expensive (and no, substituting rent simply isn’t an option). Besides, you’ll only be wearing it once or...

In The Know...

Wednesday 28th January 2009

Google ‘Gifts’ and you’re faced with all manner of present ideas, from the dull (photo frames) to the cheesy (cuddly toys a la The Generation Game) and even the downright bizarre (radio pens... say no more). In the midst of identikit gift sites that promise the world and deliver presents that...

Season & Spice

Wednesday 21st January 2009

Every so often, the Nigella in us takes over, and we find ourselves wandering aimlessly around our local food market, with a delicious looking recipe ripped out of a magazine. One glance at the obscure ingredients (what the Dickens is Cassia?!) is enough to send you running to the ready meal...

Win a Pair of Missoma Hot Rox Earrings!

Monday 19th January 2009

Diamonds, fillet steaks, family holiday homes, statement jewellery... some things are better bigger. And where better to stock up on the coolest statement jewels than brand of the moment, Missoma. We love their bold, avant-garde and colourful designs. And with 50% OFF in their January sale, there's simply no better...

A Work of Bart

Friday 16th January 2009

You might be recycling your skiwear from last year, but before you get all Oliver Twist on the slopes (OK, so the Pucci jacket isn’t exactly threadbare, but...), inject a bit of glam with some super stylish ski accessories from Barts. Ironically, we have the sun-worshippers of St. Tropez in the...

Fast Food...

Wednesday 14th January 2009

So everyone keeps banging on about the 'R' word. Money saving experts are ordering us to recycle and reuse, lock up our purses, and, perhaps the most devastating cut-back of all, stop eating out. It’s all too easy to praise the virtues of eating in, but who has the time to prepare...

Celeb Style...

Monday 12th January 2009

Fabulous parties, haute couture and a free pass to act as bizarrely as they want (Kate Winslet's Golden Globe speech... say no more). Do celebrities really have it all? Talentless clothes horses aside, celebland seems to be proving us wrong. From actress Sienna Miller to model Mila Jovovich and...

That's a Wrap...

Wednesday 7th January 2009

The working woman/busy mum is an overlooked superhero – it’s not easy having to balance a baby (or two) on your hip/head a board meeting, cook a gourmet meal for the whole herd (made all the more maddening by those fussy eaters – Harry likes French fries, Thomas prefers potato wedges),...
