Seriously, how many of us got the Afghan scarves? (or some of you call it desert scarf) If you don't then you are not embracing the essence of street style. I know I do, and have not one but two. One from Zara that has small checks design. And this one that I bought almost 2 years now at just £2 from Primark @ Hammersmith. (yeah, that Primark where Jourdan Dunn was spotted and made her a top...

Yesterday, I finally got the chance to look at Beverley Knight's (a UK soul singer for those who don't know) new make up range K in Selfridges which has been available since September 17th. It's currently stocked in all the Selfridges branches - London (Oxford Street), Manchester (Exchange Square), Birmingham (Bull Ring) and also in Manchester's Trafford Centre.

Today I wrapped myself up in a big coat and ventured out into the rain to go and have lunch with my sister. Our offices are just a couple of streets apart, so we try to do this every week, and it's so lovely to see her. I handed over the mitts - they fit, and L seems pleased with them (though she would never ever let me know if she wasn't, because she's lovely!) I am pleased with them myself - they're...

Christmas shopping is now officially ON! With the flicked of a switch, Oxford St and Regent St at London West End has turned the Big Smoke into the Big Light . Theme of this year - Christmas Carol. You know the story right? I love the 'human version' starred by the beloved Captain Jean Luc Picard himself, Patrick Stewart. But this Disney movie is actually the animated one, voiced by Jim Carrey who...

I have wanted a design wall for ages, to save the crawling round on the floor and consequent threads and mess on the carpet situation. However, despite having bought a lovely piece of white flannelette from John Lewis last year, I didn't get any further. Now I have been moved into the study, there is a lovely blank wall behind the door, which prompted me to nip down to the DIY shop and buy a piece...

...and we DID! Went to some friends' church Fireworks event - did I mention he's the minister? Anyway we ate then stood around in the, not so, cold, watching some impressive fireworks being set off. The competition was pretty immpressive as well. What's more... it even stayed dry, well almost. The drizzle started about 10 minute before the end but the actual rain held off until we were going back indoors....

A couple of days ago John Lewis announced that the sales of their 'cone bra' (by which they mean a soft cup bra - nothing to do with what we class as a cone bra!) were up 10% on the preceding week. For some reason this has resulted in a press frenzy and today's Daily Mail has put three of them to the test. Guess which one they decided was the best? Well, we do have nearly 10 years experience!

Actually, I've got a funny feeling I've said that before - " the nursery is finished " - (perhaps even more than once) and it obviously wasn't quite there on any of those occasions...but I think this really is it this time ( Fink glances around nervously for something disastrous to happen to contradict him )...nothing?
