Reviewed – VW Campervan wash bag from Planet Camping
I think it is safe to say that a lot of people have a soft spot for the iconic VW Camper Van. As a teenager I thought there would be nothing better than getting a camper van and doing all the summer festivals, enjoying a 1960s style hippie lifestyle straight from the days of flower power. That never happened of course, but I still love camper vans and their laid back image. Planet Camping are a one stop shop for everything you need to go on a camping holiday, but they also offer officially licensed Volkswagen products based on the iconic Camper vans and Beetles.

It has been quite a long time since I did a looks post, but December is certainly the busiest and best time when it comes to making the most of your existing wardrobe, and adding a few new pieces (in the form of Christmas gifts) to it. For someone like me, who loves glamour and sequins, faux fur and pretty dresses, I always try to make the most of all those opportunities to get dressed up, and although this is not a comprehensive list of everything I have worn for the festive period, these are some of my favourites.

Christmas starts with Marisota
At the end of November I was invited to be a model for the Marisota Christmas campaign. I have to say that I read the email over and over in disbelief, not quite believing that they wanted me to be included. But it was an offer I could not refuse, so I could a trip to the JD Williams offices in Manchester in order to take part in a festive fashion shoot that I can honestly say was one of the best experiences of my life. A fashion shoot isn’t all glamour. There is an awful lot of sitting around waiting for things to happen, and each chosen photograph has…
