One of my youngest memories of my mum was back when we were at our old house, and my mum was getting ready to go out and I was sitting on her bed while she sat at her dressing table putting on her makeup, I must have been about 4 or 5. My mum didn’t wear…
My mum is pretty special to me, not only is she a wonderful woman who bought me up, she’s helped me through some hard times, been there when I was struggling after uni to find a job and what I wanted to do. She helped me through an unpaid internship, and even helped my northern…
Christmas already feels like it was ages ago now, although it was only a few days ago. Although Christmas day was spent at my parents house eating lots of food and not going anywhere, I still like to dress up and wear something nice. My main problem is that I don’t have anything to wear….
For pretty much most of my life I’ve been a bag lady. I currently have about 6 handbags that I use on a fairly common basis, as well as 10 evening bags, and another 5 smaller handbags in case I don’t want to carry a large one around all day… Yupp I have an addiction….
Is it just me, or is Christmas sneaking up on us a little now? It’s getting a little scary how close it is now, and I’m nowhere near finishing my Christmas shopping. Following on from my previous gift guides (for her, and foodie gifts), I’ve got a few ideas for gifts for him, and if you’re…

It’s very rare that I attend fancy dos where I need to dress up, but recently I’ve been invited to a couple of black tie events. While I love nothing more than dressing up all fancy, and swanning around all evening in a full length dress, the difficulty of finding a dress for the occasion…
I have never been into sports, even as a child I used to try and find every excuse possible to get out of my PE lessons. It just has no interest to me at all. Why would I want to go outside, get all sweaty and make myself tired? No thanks. Even as an adult…
Well August well and truly snuck up on us didn’t it? Now that it’s officially the summer months I’ve been thinking about buying a few new summery additions to my wardrobe. While the weather’s not exactly warm, I’m hoping by wearing a few more summery thing I can encourage the sun to make more of an appearance. I don’t have many…
For me, one of the best things about the summer is all the events and special occasions that take place. From weddings and summer balls to christenings and parties, there are just so many things to attend during the summer. However, while I love attending summer events, I always used to struggle when it came…
