I sometimes walk past the Oxford Street flagship Debenhams store on my way to work and their windows have been rather eye catching recently, partly due to some amazing garments from their many fantastic designer diffusion ranges. When it came to compiling a Lust List for April, it had to be a selection from this... Continue Reading →
Blogging is a hobby for me - something that I fit around my day job, which is the one that pays the bills. I'm lucky enough to work at London College of Fashion and, back at the start of December, I popped into a drawing class to see if the students had anything they'd like... Continue Reading →
While everyone's talking about suede and shades of tan (see That M&S Skirt), I just can't see the point of easily damaged suede and would rather not spend £200 on a garment that will look dated next season. I'm also not overly keen on the particular brand of 70s style that seems to be back... Continue Reading →
A couple of weeks ago, I was contacted by the lovely people at Wolf & Whistle to see if I'd like to review something from their site. They sent me their gorgeous blossom print peplum dress last year, and when they launched in 2012 I reviewed their Romany floral tea dress, so I was super... Continue Reading →
Hello my darlings! Here we are again and it is March already! It is bound to be a very sexy stormy March with Mars in retrograde, the planet ruling S-E-X, blowing the lid off our fantasies and cravings. Don't get burned by the heat baby! I plan on remaining celibate for the near future, though... Continue Reading →

With a stretch fabric that will ensure a good fit across my hips, a super... Continue Reading →
Oh, how I love online window shopping at this time of year. All the reward with none of the rain, cold wind, or slow-moving shoppers. My post-Christmas sale browsing has led me to spot a few non-sale items that have got me wishing for warmer weather and a bigger bank balance. Most of them have... Continue Reading →
We all need a little bit of sunshine in our lives, especially at the end of a cold week in February, so I thought I'd share a lovely little treat with you. To celebrate the launch of their spring/summer 2012 collection, those glamorous gals at What Katie Did have produced their own short film, "South... Continue Reading →
It's been six weeks since I planted my basil seeds and hoped for the best but, as you can see from the terribly badly exposed photo on the right, all is going well. Despite having extremely limited gardening skills, I seem to have managed to grow something pretty that may also turn out to be... Continue Reading →
A friend told me on Friday about the time when she had an appraisal at work that didn't go so well. To counteract all the undeserved negativity that resulted, she decided to write about why she deserved a good review and told me that, although it is extremely hard to do, writing 2.5 pages on...
