Friday Shopping – A bargain buy special
It’s almost Christmas, and so, true to form, I’m feeling rough. And for once, this has nothing to do with all the festive spirits on offer at numerous events. No this time it is due to a cold and a throat and chest infection I’ve been trying to fight off, unsuccessfully, all this week. And so, today’s post is short on words as my bed is once again calling me, and I am, for the umpteenth time this week, blogging in very warm, but sartorially challenged fluffy pyjamas. But fear not. Because what this blog lacks in words, it more than makes up in fashion, and, more importantly, as…

Toy review – Slix Stunt City from Sainsbury’s
If you are looking for a present that will keep your little boys (or big boys come to mention it) happy, contented and occupied all over the Christmas period, you need look no further than Sainsbury ‘s. This year they have had an amazing collection of great value toys for children of all ages, and the Slix toys in particular have been the stuff that little boys (and some little girls too) dream of. I’m talking fast cars, stunt driving, and lots of crashes and smashes. I was sent the Slix Stunt City to review with Joe. Unfortunately, Joe has spent quite a bit of time over the last few…

Boohoo launch Plus size range!
As a lady who can easily wear anything from a size 16 to a size 20, it is always a thrill and a pleasure when a new range that caters for plus sizes is launched. It is really surprising that there are still so many ranges that stop at size 14, or stock, the smallest size 16s imaginable. Fast fashion brands are often the worst offenders for not having diversity in their sizes, meaning that many young girls are basically opted out of this affordable market – their sizes are simply not available. With all this in mind, I was really excited yesterday when I received an email to say…

Choosing the right baby car seat – inspiration from Prince George
One of the most important things an expectant/new parent has to do is choose a car seat. It is also one of the scariest. New parents aren’t allowed to take baby home unless the car seat has been inspected by the hospital, and it goes without saying that the safety of the new baby is paramount in the parent’s mind. Luckily, there are now really great options when it comes to choosing a car seat, with Prince William giving some inspiration. No-one could forget that fabulous July day when Prince William and Duchess Kate emerged from St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, with their tiny baby Prince. And what many people commented…

Reviewed – Scarlett & Jo Purple Embellished Shift Dress
When you mention the name Scarlett and Jo to anyone, they automatically think of the ‘Powerfit’ dresses, those form-fitting, curve enhancing frocks that have a real feel of the Roland Mouret Galaxy dress about them. But there is more to Scarlett and Jo than just the powerfit, they have a great range of 1960s style dresses, prom queen styles and everyday tunics too. That’s why it is such a pleasure to be asked to review a different dress from the current range, the ‘purple embellished shift dress’. This is a showstopper of a dress, rich in colour and covered in beautiful, bugle bead embellishment. The shape is a retro 1960s…
