The Lobby on Hill Street Launches in Style
The end of October saw the launch party for Birmingham’s newest venue. The Lobby on Hill Street showed there’s no party like a lobby party, with everything from magicians, dress up photobooths, showgirls, mixologists, glitter and star make up artists and a flash mob style performance from Young Pilgrims. Add a funk and retro soul set by Craig Charles and you have a night that was frankly unmissable. From the minute you arrived you could tell that this was going to be some party. In fact, PARTY was spelled out in giant neon letters are you walked the red carpet to be greeted by Champagne and showgirls beautifully festooned…

Collarless Faux Fur Pocket Coat from Simply Be
It is one of those strange paradoxes that when the weather starts to turn colder, we say we want to be cuddled up warm inside, and yet spend even more time in the great outdoors. This week is a case in point. So far we’ve spent time trick or treating with our kids, standing around a bonfire and watching fireworks, and tomorrow I’ll be standing on the freezing cold touchline as the temperature is set to plummet. In the next few weeks, the Christmas market will be arriving in Birmingham, and I’ve got a trip planned to Lincoln to walk around yet another Christmas market, drinking mulled wine and trying…
