Floozie by Frost French – Retro Swimwear
I was in Birmingham, on my way to an event, and had a little time to kill. I decided to take a little wonder around the huge Bullring branch of Debenhams. With a holiday fast approaching, I headed straight for the holiday/swimwear collection, and promptly fell completely in love with the range from Sadie Frost and Jemima French, the fantastically named ‘Floozie’.

Pizza and Cider at The Stable, Birmingham
The sun was shining on the hottest day of the year, so what better time to take part in a special blogger event at one of Birmingham’s newest food destinations? The Stable specialises in pizza and pies, all of which contain local produce as much as possible, and have fabulous, locally inspired names.

How Not To Be Fooled By Non-Authentic Diamond Purchases
There is the age old saying: “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”. Fortunately, this statement holds true to its meaning. Diamonds are a universal gem and hold their value, being one of the most precious gems money can buy. One of the reasons why diamonds cost so much is because they are hard to come by. Both the extraction and cutting process takes a great amount of time and effort to produce that shiny beautiful gem you are wearing around your neck or on your finger. When purchasing diamonds or jewellery in general, there are wide selections to choose from. But when making your selection, buyers must also be…
