    Bad Apple Hair Event at Topshop Birmingham

    A couple of weeks ago I attended a glamorous evening of hair and fashion at Birmingham’s Topshop store in the Bullring. The event was to celebrate the launch of the Bad Apple Hair salon based in the store, and to get a chance to look at some of the latest arrivals in fashion, as chosen by the girls of the personal shopping team.

    Strangers On A Train – Satisfying Chilling

    Two strangers meet by chance on a train heading to the West Coast. One man, Charles Bruno, is charming, funny and gregarious, the other, Guy Haines, is more guarded and private.
