Penhaligans Launch Juniper Sling in true 1920s style.
A look back at a launch from 2011. The last few weeks have been full of fabulous launches, and one of the most enjoyable was the launch of the gorgeous Juniper Sling at the Penhaligon’s Covent Garden store. This was a special bloggers event with a real ‘Bright Young things’ feel. Flappers, the Charleston, roaring twenties news-stories about the likes of Stephen Tennant and Brenda Dean Paul and a bar serving an arresting array of Gin Cocktails made this a launch party to remember. The launch was to celebrate the newest addition to the iconic Penhaligon’s fragrance family. ‘Juniper Sling’, as the name may suggest, has been inspired by London…

Travel Focus – Wonderful Singapore
Continuing with my travel series of wonderful places to visit I am turning my attention to Singapore, the jewel in Malaysia’s crown.

Rock Of Ages Is A Crowd Pleasing Joy At The Alexandra
Live theatre is most definitely back in Birmingham! Last night saw the return of a crowd favourite the The Alexandra, the gloriously camp, over the top spectacle that is ‘Rock of Ages‘ and it was an absolute delight. Spandex, fright wigs and air guitars have never looked so good, and teamed with classic 80s songs from the likes of Whitesnake, Journey, Poison and Foreigner and you have the perfect recipe for raucous, rock fun. The story is fairly simple – boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds girl again, and they all live happily ever after. So far, so predictable. But add the element that it’s the girl who…
