A gift of time from the Best Gift Company
I was once asked what I thought was the perfect Christmas present for a person who was ‘difficult to buy for.’ You know the sort of person that I mean. The one who if you actually ask them ‘what do you want?’ will give you an answer about not wanting anything, not needing anything, or just the comment that virtually brings me out in an attack of hives – ‘buy me anything!’ (Aaaarrrggghhhh!) Choosing the present can be made even more difficult if you are not really sure what you would get for them fashion wise, and if they seem to have a lack of hobbies that you could help…

Deck the Halls with John Lewis this Christmas
I have a family tradition when it comes to Christmas.The 1st December is dedicated to putting up the Christmas tree and ‘decking the halls’ throughout my house. And although I choose an artificial tree so do not replace this every year, I do insist on buying new decorations to add to my already burgeoning collection – tree decorations, things to decorate the mantlepieces, new candles and a whole host of other items that just catch my eyes when I’m out and about. This year, my eyes have been drawn to the Christmas home and decoration range from John Lewis. In particular I love the way that the tree decorations have…

Swarovski Crystal Jewellery – The perfect Christmas gift idea.
For many ladies this Christmas, there is just one thing that they wish to find in their Christmas stocking. No, I’m not talking about George Clooney or David Gandy, although I’m sure they would be popular choices too, I’m talking about the gift of jewellery.

And, let’s be honest, when we talk about perfect sparkling bling, can we think of anything better than a gift from Swarovski UK? One of the best places to find an enormous selection of…

Discovering new design with Carnet de Mode
A few weeks ago I discovered the wonderful world of Carnet de Mode, and the host of new design ideas and talented designers it was now giving a virtual catwalk too. I blogged about the concept on this site (you can read that post here) and how I believed it was a truly great idea that was a way of supporting fledgling designers who were not always in a position to host their own catwalk collections, or even their own websites, but still had great new products to introduce to the world.I also loved the idea that fashionista’s and consumers could show their support for new design by getting involved…

Reviewed – Next Teal Baroque Dress
If you are looking for a versatile dress that can take you anywhere this season, then step this way. I was recently sent the Teal Baroque dress from Next, and I have to say this is one dress that you can literally wear for any occasion. It is wonderfully rich in colour, very comfortable to wear, and seems to be impossible to crease – what’s not to love? I am most definitely a dress person, and after a bit of an obsession with 1950s style shapes, lately I’ve been tempted back to the world of the neat shift dress. But I do have a few stipulations. Shift dresses can be…
