When you’re feeling blue…it’s time to get a watch
I recently wrote a post about one easy way to add colour to your wardrobe by adding bright coloured dresses. In that post (which you can read here) I focused on a couple of my favourite colours, yellow and blue. But for some people, wearing something so ostentatious and eye-catching is just not an option. Not everyone feels confident enough to wear bright colours, preferring to stick to neutrals or a much darker palette. For those people, accessories are a much easier way to add a splash of brightness to an outfit, you can still keep to wearing black, white, beiges and browns, but with a little colour pop to…

Kate wears Tory Burch for a visit to Plunket
Prince George may well have stolen the show, as well as toys belonging to other babies, but Duchess Kate showed, once again, her impeccable fashion credentials during a visit to Plunket, a New Zealand well baby programme, on the second day of the Royal Tour. Opting for a stylish, yet practical option, Kate was able to get down on the floor and play with the baby prince, whilst looking cool and elegant – and that is no mean feat. The monochrome, graphic print dress that Kate wore was the Paulina dress from American designer Tory Burch. I’m not sure if Kate has ever worn Tory Burch clothing before, the designer…

My sister is almost anal when it comes to sorting out her washing, putting all the like colours together into neat little piles that can then be washed together. Whereas I, on the other hand, have two piles – ‘whites’ and ‘coloureds’. This system usually works OK, but it can lead to disasters. We all know of those times when suddenly everything in the washing machine has been tinged…

Half term holiday ideas
After waiting what has seemed like an eternity for a holiday, Easter will soon be upon us. What is more, it will be quickly followed by Mayday and then the Whitsun break. Yes, holiday season is here, so now might be the perfect time for thinking about a short break, or a longer vacation. With schools now taking a dim view on parent’s who take their children out of school, holidays have become an even more expensive luxury for those who decide to play by the rules. But there are hotels you can find in last minute deals that offer real bargains, and there are also other ways of keeping…
