Stylish Television: Chloe
Chloe is my current television obsession. The BBC drama, which will come to its conclusion next Sunday, is by far the most stylish television programme of the year, and features an incredible lead performance from Erin Doherty, last seen as a feisty Princess Anne in The Crown. Incredibly twisty and turning, the series has you on the edge of your seat, tension filled goes nowhere near describing it. Chloe is about the death of a local socialite, and her former friend Becky Green, who becomes obsessed with finding out the truth about her life and death, infiltrating her family and friendship group in the guise of Sasha in order to…

WallpaperMural.com: Creating A Mood Through Your Walls
When it comes to your home and decor, creating the perfect mood that suits your style is very important. And although it is true to say we went through a period where minimalism was best when it came to your walls, there is now a distinct trend for using these blank spaces to really show off our style and personality. Whereas the 90’s and the early part of the millennium saw us opting for magnolia paint and a few strategically placed images as we attempted to get a Scandinavian effect, these days we are more likely to head back to the 1970s, when splashes of colour, patterns and different textures…

Stylish Films: Death On The Nile (2022)
It is safe to say that the Kenneth Branagh version of Agatha Christies’s Death on the Nile has had its fair share of problems. With a release date that has been delayed again and again due to the global pandemic, it has then seen leading man Armie Hammer face allegations of rape and serious sexual misdeeds that could see this being his last film. But Friday finally saw the release of the troubled production, and, as a huge Agatha Christie fan, and with it being Valentine’s Weekend, I had a date night and finally got to have a look at the film we’ve been waiting so long for. And, I…

Choosing The Perfect Gift For A Child
Buying a gift for someone is never easy, but when that person is a child who doesn’t belong to you, the minefield becomes even more dangerous. Whether it be a gift for a niece or nephew, the son or daughter of a friend, or a gift to take to one of the numerous birthday parties your child will attend before their 10th birthday (we all know kids have better social lives than we do, right?), the urge to ‘get it right’ is very strong. So, what do you choose? This post is not about the actual items that you can choose from, but how you can make sure you choose…

Taking The Hoodie In A Retro Direction With Femme Luxe
Anyone who has a love for fashion and style will be able to tell you that it is cyclical. From Vivienne Westward channeling the ‘mini-crini’ style during the 90s, to the Laura Ashley regency and milkmaid styles, from Yves St Laurent taking his cues from the Ballet Russes, fashion constantly looks back rather than looking forward when it comes to inspiration. This season the look back is not quite so far, with Femme Luxe embracing the style of the 1990s, the decade of the Spice Girls, minimalism, grunge, Britpop, and the rave scene. This season, Femme Luxe is fully embracing 1990s style, with bodycon dresses that call to mind the…
