Afternoon Tea Delivered To Your Door With Bonnie’s Place
Afternoon tea is one of my favourite kinds of treat, something I love to do with my mom and sister, a way to enjoy gorgeous sweet treats whilst having a gossip and putting the world to rights. But, like so many other things, it is something that has been put on hold as we have been placed in a situation when all our favourite eateries, tearooms and restaurants have had to close for the foreseeable future. The good news for those who love this quintessentially English treat is that many food outlets have found ways to adapt to the situation in the form of take out and delivery options. It…

Sort That Wardrobe Clutter!
An article I read in Grazia this week said that women (in particular) have done a lot of online shopping during the Covid 19 crisis. I can totally relate to this. I have brought a fair few new items during this Strange Spring, some of them to cheer me up when I’ve felt myself starting to slide with the pressure of home work and home schooling, some of them a necessity – clothes I can relax in, new school uniform for Joe, birthday presents for my niece, nephew and the hubby.

Friday Fashion: Lace Patchwork White Blouse From Rotita
A simple white blouse or shirt worn with a dark denim is a bit of a no brainer when it comes to classic style. It is always a good look. But, if like me, you are curvier, particularly in the boob department, then that chic, classic look can be compromised by the buttons that pucker and gape open, making that sharp look seem more slovenly and unkempt. The lace patchwork white blouse from Rotita is the absolute answer to the puckering button problem. The Lace Patchwork blouse has a peasant, slightly boho feel to it. It has the appearance of a buttoned blouse, but this is actually a false detail…
