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?

A STAY AT THE GREAT VICTORIA HOTEL, BRADFORD

A NIGHT alone? In a hotel? Without little Elsie? Well that’s something of a rare treat for the husband and I, so we were thrilled to be invited to stay at the Great Victoria hotel in Bradford just last month. We had a smashing time. Relaxed lots. Ate lots. Drank lots. And even managed a bit of a lie in too. But enough about what we go up to (although I’ll
