Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending the second Dessous London event where twenty four lingerie, sleepwear and accessories brands showed their Autumn/Winter 2018 collections to buyers. For this event, Dessous recruited Becky Mount (pictured below, with me and Zoë from Gilda & Pearl) to organise a bloggers lunch on the first day of... Continue Reading →
On Wednesday night, I headed over to Shop Direct's London HQ for a lingerie bloggers event organised by Littlewoods. Having been properly fitted for a bra in recent years, I now feel more confident about buying lingerie online and so was quite excited to see a selection of the brands that this home shopping giant...

Last night was the first, and perhaps only, Rarely Wears Lipstick Awards Ceremony. When I had the idea last year to create my own awards bash, I really didn't think it through but - with the help of my nearest and dearest - it turned into a proper polished celebration of the work of many...

The guest bloggers I called upon last October came up with a varied selection of well... Continue Reading →
Thanks to everyone who left comments on my whiny self-indulgent pre-birthday blog post last week.

By Friday, when my colleagues did remember and I also had a gorgeous birthday... Continue Reading →
I started writing for women's lifestyle website BitchBuzz last December, after many months as an avid reader. It's a pretty special website as it acknowledges that intelligent women have a wide variety of interests, from news and technology to style and relationships, but that we don't want to be talked down to or taken advantage...
