Sort out that clutter and make a little cash too with Bidworld.co.uk
January is traditionally the month when we give our homes a much needed sorting out. After the excess of Christmas, and all those new presents, and then the splurge buying in the sales, January always seems the right time to sort through everything we have, and to get rid of the unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories that have passed their sell by date. In addition to sorting our own things, we are often faced with mountains of toys belonging to our children. My son Joe has a birthday in December, as well as being spoiled rotten at Christmas, and so local Charity shops often receive bags full of perfectly good…

Reviewed – Mia Roses Foil skirt from Boohoo
First of all, I need to apologise for the quality of the photographs I’m using today. They truly do not show the fabulous gold foil of this skirt at it’s best. Unfortunately, in daylight the flash refused to work, so the pictures are a little dark. But trust me, this skirt shimmers with the gold foil effect and is really lovely. This is the third of my reviews of the new Boohoo plus size range. Boohoo, as I mentioned in previous reviews, now has a great range that runs from size 18 to 24. The range is full of really fine pieces, dresses, tops, some great knitwear and killer skirts.…

The 2014 SAG Awards – All the best looks
Last night I stayed up very late to watch the 2014 SAG Awards (actually it was early this morning, but I’m not going to confuse matters. The SAG Awards are another in the stream of pre-Oscars events that often give pointers to who will win at the big event, and as such, the Hollywood a-list turn out in force. Traditionally the SAGs have been seen as a more relaxed affair, but that did not seem to be the case last night. Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams both sported their best looks of the award season so far, in Dior and Antonio Berardi respectively. Cate Blanchett was a vision in pink…

Cutting the Cost of Designer Handbags
Designer handbags are an important accessory for the fashionable woman. They are a symbol of status and social mobility. Several high end handbags tip the pricing scales at just over £20,000. Those, of course, are extreme examples, but there are a great number of designer handbags that can set a person back anywhere from £2,000 to £4,000. Even the lower end stock of reputable handbag designers price out at the £300 to £500 range. Needless to say, many designer handbags are so expensive that they remain but a dream for a large portion of the population. If you have had your heart set on the more expensive handbags, you might…
