25% OFF Mega Weekend

Friday 27th February 2009

If the recent warmer temperatures have had you longing for Spring, Laura Ashley’s new collections, bursting with fabulous florals, ready-for-the-races blazers and bewitching blouses, are sure to make you even more impatient for the first sight of sun. Especially when you see the new styles modelled on gorgeous girl-about-town, model and actress,...

Tote-ally Anya

Wednesday 25th February 2009

An Anya Hindmarch bag that doesn't break the bank... Sound familiar? But this time, you don’t have to subject yourself to a 6am trip to the supermarket and a queue around the block. For the new season, Ms. Hindmarch has created a fabulous new tote inspired by the linear graphic lines...

Trendy Tots...

Monday 23rd February 2009

You’ve probably started assessing your purchases for Spring – you need that new season bag, you might indulge in some Spring denim, and you can’t possibly justify spending that much cash on those leopard-print harem pants (so impractical but achingly on trend), but you’re certainly going to try. But don’t forget...

The Blini's Back

Friday 20th February 2009

The blini is back. 2009 is the year for fuss-free, do-it-yourself dining, and this bite-sized morsel is the perfect way to add a little glamour to staying in with friends. The blini’s best friend? A melt-in-the-mouth, tastebud-tantalising pâté. When slaving away in the kitchen just isn’t an option (slipping into that...

Effortless Style...

Wednesday 18th February 2009

Isabella Oliver's maternity main line is so lustworthy it’s almost enough to send us running to the pantry cupboard, in the hope of expanding our waistlines to fit those to-die-for Grecian jersey dresses. Almost. Luckily there’s no need for such extreme measures – the wait is finally over and Isabella Oliver’s...

A Sticky Subject

Monday 16th February 2009

A nightmare scenario: walking into your sitting room only to find that your darling little tot has composed a crazy work of art on your perfectly white walls. (If this was a Jackson Pollock, it would be a different story, but this isn’t the Tate Modern, and you’re fuming.) The...

Cashmere 37

Friday 13th February 2009

Whilst we might be dreaming of summer dresses and bare legs (inspired by SL's Trend Report of course), the reality is that we're covering up every inch of skin we possibly can – let’s put it this way, if it was socially acceptable to wear balaclavas, we would. Given that it’s...

Get a Room...

Wednesday 11th February 2009

It’s Wednesday, Valentine’s Day is less than 72 hours away, and you’re totally unprepared. Let’s face it, you have no valid excuses for forgetting (you had our Valentine’s gift guide to help you), but before you resort to spending Friday night grabbing a bunch of sorry-looking carnations and a tacky card...

Brownie Point Potential...

Monday 9th February 2009

It seems like Christmas was only yesterday and already Valentine’s Day is here to torment us. Needless to say help is at hand to ensure the opposite sex (and yes he deserves some appreciation too) gets it right on February 14th because frankly, it’s just not worth getting it wrong. Our...

It's All Going Swimmingly...

Friday 6th February 2009

Instead of zipping up in thermal-lined all-in-ones, we’re warming ourselves up in a more imaginative way this February: last-minute flights to tropical destinations and plenty of piña coladas. If you’re planning your own great escape, all you need is a spray tan and some fabulous swimwear (oh and a fabulous destination...

Let the Games Begin...

Wednesday 4th February 2009

You'd think Valentine's Day might be the one day of the year the two sexes would stop playing games and just get along...as if. But if you insist on playing games, make sure the only one you play is on a new, bespoke Monopoly board, aka My Monopoly. Not a conventional...

By Candlelight...

Tuesday 3rd February 2009

If you’re holing up under your duvet with a stack of DVDs as opposed to venturing out into the bitter cold, you’re not alone. But before you enter slob territory, swap those old PJs for some cashmere loungewear and make your hibernation space even cosier with an array of sweet smelling...
