AFTERNOON TEA AT BETTYS WITH MY MUM

I ENJOYED an incredible afternoon tea at Bettys the other week. On a cold yet beautiful winter’s Day, I travelled to the historic city of York with my lovely Mum and we experienced the most delicious champagne afternoon tea, as Bettys‘ guests. Quite frankly, if there’s a finer way to spend a few precious hours with your Mum, well I’d be amazed because this really was quite something. I often talk

MAKE TIME FOR LURVE (WITH THE FANTASY BOX)

IF you’re of a nervous disposition or reading this in a crowded office, you may want to pop back another time! Because folks, I’m about to start talking about sex. Oh yes baby! Making love. Getting jiggy. Being naughty. Whatever you want to call it (or like to call it), let’s face it, sex is one of those fabulous pleasures in life, that costs nothing but feels totally amazing. (If

MAKING A (JEWELLERY) STATEMENT THIS CHRISTMAS

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

ISN’T IT TIME WE GAVE ALL WOMEN A CHANCE?

A FEW weeks ago, I was blatantly ignored by a group of women. I smiled, said hello and looked around the room, waiting for a group of women, whom I didn’t know, to respond. But nothing came. (Talk about awkward.) For a second or two, I thought perhaps they haven’t heard me or that someone, anyone, in the crowded room would shoot me a friendly smile any time soon. But

LIFE & STUFF (AKA WHAT I’VE BEEN UP TO RECENTLY)

IT’S frantic isn’t it this time of year? So much to do, so little time? When we’re all supposed to fit everything in, I have absolutely no idea but still we can only do what we can do right?! (Or at least that’s what I’m telling myself.) I’ve been up to all sorts of late, of the lovely variety, so I thought I’d share what’s been filling up my days

A CHRISTMAS WISH ‘LYST’

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

A CLASSIC WINTER COAT (THAT’S CHIC AND WARM)

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? As it has to do so many things. And it has to do them well. We need

A MAGICAL, WINTERY EVENING AT DISNEY ON ICE

IT all started with a dress. This dress. A special Frozen dress (which lights up and has a magical brooch and everything!) Yep, Elsie would go to…Disney On Ice Presents World Of Enchantment, courtesy of the kind people at Sheffield Motorpoint Arena who invited me, Elsie and two guests (my sister Sal and niece Ella) as their VIPs on the front row. A reminder, if ever there was one, that
