For the keen (and not so keen – i.e. me) runner in your life, winter can be a tricky time. Cold winds, chapped lips and hands plus unflattering Lycra… it’s a tough lot. The below Christmas gift ideas will make those early morning and late night pounding of the pavements much more bearable… Boozy lip […]
Christmas gift guide What to get the gal who channels Audrey Hepburn but, alas, whose budget is more Blackpool Tower than Eiffel Tower… 1. Men’s cashmere waffle sweater LOVE! I have actually bought this for myself as an early Crimbo pressie, the SOFTNESS! And best of all heavily reduced from 110 to 70 squid… Cashmere […]
I still, even at the age of… 29 *cough, splutter* get the Back to Skool buzz in August. A craving for winter boots, wool coats and new stationary. I remember making my sisters scream with hilarity because I bought a pair of suede knee high boots and a faux fur coat (well, it was 1996) […]
There’s nothing I love more in life than a reward purchase. I have “rewarded” myself on every new job I have got to “mark” the occasion. Sometimes it’s been as small as a Chanel nail polish – although it has got as big as the leopard print Louis Vuitton scarf (cost-per-wear makes it pay for […]
So… I am recently back at work (well temporarily, at least) after a few months ‘out’ (ahem!) and have realised my working wardrobe is severely lacking. I have been falling back on my fail safe uniform of coloured jeans, grey marl tees (the best invention EVER), jacket and heels. I need something new, something FRESH… […]
I do love a good blog and this week I have been addicted to Lorraine Candy (ELLE UK Editor in Chief)’s blog about her return from maternity leave (see also What the Editor Wears). On Tuesday Lorraine was rocking the most fab sweater and scarf combo – a bright indigo blue textured sweater with puff […]
I have to admit that in the past my Christmas wish lists have been on the Princess scale. They’ve included Chanel and Prada sunglasses; UGGs in every shade; J Brand skinny jeans… This year being newly single (albeit chucked) I have scaled back, reflected somewhat… …and just bought the stuff myself. Apart from the shades. […]
OK, so this is the never fails, easy peasy way of roasting your bird… *titter* Get yourself a big chook, around 1.5kg. Smear it with butter then chuck sea salt, pepper and herbs alllll over it. Squeeze a huge lemon all over and stuff the remainder – along with some garlic cloves, whole and unpeeled […]
Ah… the royal wedding of our future king. I’m ashamed to admit I was alive at the last Prince of Wales’ nuptials, patriotically waving a Union Jack. I can not remember as I was not even two but have been told the story so many times I FEEL like I remember like. (disclaimer: I am still […]
Trying to dress well in pregnancy? No one tells you how bloody hard this is. You have the early stages where you merely look and feel a bit bloated round the tummy – my jeans just did not fit me practically as soon as the sperm hit the egg, it seemed. I have a picture […]
