It is the distinctive aroma of any product from the L’Occitane range that instantly transports me away from my kids shouting “Mummy, mummy, mummy” at every opportunity, to the peaceful landscapes of Provence. To have that little touch of the South of France, quite literally in the palm of my hand as I slather on my favourite … Continue Reading
We love nothing more than watching somebody we know start from nothing and graft their way to success. It make us understand how much hard work goes in behind the scenes to get to that level, and also makes us very proud. A person who has achieved this well-deserved success is the brilliant Alexa Chung, our … Continue Reading
Joseph has been a stalwart of the British designer high street for as long as I can remember. There was a time over nearly twenty years ago when all I wore and lusted after were a pair of Joseph Trousers (well, that and Luke Perry from Beverly Hills 90210). They epitomised glamour, and a timeless style … Continue Reading
With ‘summer’ clearly on its way out (what on earth?!)…We have decided that we are going to make the best of it and look forward to autumn, and all the fashion fun that comes with this change of season. But, instead of shoving our summer clothes to the back of our wardrobes, and dragging our warmer clothes out … Continue Reading
I have always loved Nars make up – it is the incredible array of colourful eyeshadows that always catch my eye. Especially when I am looking for something totally unglamorous, but totally necessary, like concealer to cover that charming witch’s spot on my chin.

One of my best, and most everlasting memories of my youth is of hitting the town with my bestie, armed with a handbag stuffed with blue hair mascara, a Mini Disc Man and a Lancome Juicy Tube. Does anyone remember this stuff?! Anyway, now that we have grown up somewhat, and instead now get drunk at … Continue Reading
We love nothing more than this time of year. Weddings; Summer parties; big birthday bashes; and holidays…. What more could a gal want from her summer? Well, if you are asking that loaded question, we would love full time childcare and a daily blow-dry, but that would be asking too much!! On the hunt for … Continue Reading
Had we kept hold of all those bold, branded t shirts we loved to wear back in the 90’s, we are certain that we would now be back on trend with a very loud bump! However, the Naf Naf, Benetton and Jane Norman ( remember them?!) logos do not quite make the cut the second time … Continue Reading
Our summer holiday had started so well. We got to the airport, one that can only loosely be described as being in London, on time ( 4:45 am), and got to security without any major drama or meltdown. To avoid meltdowns because of tired little legs, we decided to take the buggy and two scooters. Big … Continue Reading
