IT’S Christmas, it’s party time, so there’s only one thing for it. It’s time to roll out the bling and make a statement. As a real ‘magpie’ of a gal, there’s nothing I love more in the style world, than some sparkle or glitz. Particularly at this time of year when it’s sooo dark and sooo grey. Dark days and nights demand some twinkle, do they not? And there’s no easier
IF SANTA asks me what I’d like for Christmas this year… well let’s just say I’m all prepared. I’ve been doing a spot of wish list shopping, you see, with Lyst – a brilliant website that is a bit like an online personal shopper, which has access to the very best brands – and have picked out some gorgeous pieces that I would love to see underneath my Christmas tree, very
WHEN it comes to style at this time of year, it’s all about the coat is it not? The coat that keeps us warm, protects us from the rather chilly (and often wet) elements and hopefully makes us looks super chic. It’s not so easy though, is it? Picking a decent winter coat?

This week I found out that I have finally, finally (!) made the respected Tots100, after three and a half years of blogging (I’m
I USED to think the saying that ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ was a bit of nonsense. Until… I got my own diamonds, when my husband bought me my beloved antique 1920s engagement ring and then? Well, let’s just say I finally realised what all the fuss was about. Oh the sparkle! Oh the joy! Oh the feeling of wearing something so exquisite! As precious gems go, diamonds are
A FEW weeks ago, I had the absolute privilege of having my hair cut by one of the UK’s top hairdressers… The very lovely and amusing Alexander Turnbull who’s won numerous British hairdressing awards including North Eastern Hairdresser of The Year and British Best Newcomer Of The Year. I was invited by Matrix Haircare (part of the L’Oreal group) to have my hair cut, pampered and styled by Alexander using their
ON Saturday night I gave a new beauty of a dress it’s first outing. For a night on the town with some of my dearest friends (here I am with Christina and Laura) to celebrate the lovely Laura’s birthday with some early birthday drinks. (Happy Birthday darling!) Feeling a bit grotty from a couple weeks of catching one bug after another, I felt instantly better when I popped on my
EVER wondered how women years gone by looked immaculate? How their clothes fitted them so well? How they always looked pulled together and groomed? Well the secret is that their clothes were made for them or that they made their clothing themselves. No cheap fashion, ‘grab something off a rack’ in decades past. Nope.
