Years ago, I used to run a monthly feature on this blog called Lust List, where I'd share five lovely things that I'd been yearning for that month. Each month's list was themed and it seems like a good format to revive for the festive season as there are some rather delicious lingerie sets out... Continue Reading →
On 8th December, I had the pleasure of taking part in the Costume Society's first ever Christmas Quiz night. Organised and hosted by fashion historian, author and Costume Society committee member Amber Butchart, the event took place in a cosy downstairs bar at the iconic Bethnal Green Working Men's Club in east London. The room... Continue Reading →
When it comes to fashion and beauty, I am a huge fan of glamour. While some may call it superficial, I really couldn't care less for that attitude as glamour is far more about equal opportunities than most aspects of the fashion industry.

Having worked in the hospitality and catering industry, three of us decided to band together and create something a bit less... Continue Reading →
Hello Darlings! It's that time of year again... can you believe it? I'm still in Hallowe'en, dark, mysterious winter mode, I don't want to emerge from my Thanksgiving-Samhain-Scorpio-Birthday cave. I'm not a big Christmas kinda girl, I find all the material pressure a bit much but anyone who knows me knows I love giving and... Continue Reading →
I thought about writing a festive post, but then... we went to the pub. There was winter/Christmas beer and cider so, now we're home - with Topper and Manda hilariously making eggnog whilst tipsy - I thought I'd just give you a bit of a festive link post instead.

When the lovely Melaina over at Transatlantic Blonde was discussing her ultimate Christmas song this week, she tagged me in her post. Now I don't usually take part in blog memes but, after listening to Xmas CDs in the office every afternoon since the beginning of the month, I just couldn't resist this one. I've... Continue Reading →
