Jewellery Obsession – Lily Charmed
When it comes to my favourite type of jewellery, you will have to go a long way to find something I love as much as a charm bracelet or necklace. I think these say so much about the person wearing them – what they like, their hobbies, interests, family and loves. Jewellery featuring charms can be added to, so makes a perfect gift idea, and my current favourite charm pieces come from the gorgeous Lily Charmed. Lily Charmed is a great British success story, a real cottage industry that was started at a kitchen table and is now stocked at a range of gift shops and jewellers, as well as…

My handbag essentials
What do you consider to be your handbag essentials? I don’t mean the usual – money, keys and phone – we all have to carry those, but what are the other things that you always have in your bag? Brioche Pasquier asked me to put together a post on my most important handbag essentials, the things that travel with me, no matter what, and this led to some serious thinking about what I really can’t do without.

Gudrun Sjoden – One dress worn 5 ways
I have been a long time fan of Scandinavian brand Gudrun Sjoden. Gudrun’s designs are always beautiful and unique, clothes that are amazing quality and offer something that are so different from anything else you will find, High Street, Designer or otherwise. But I was recently set a challenge, could I show just how versatile Gudrun Sjoden pieces could be by styling one dress five different ways? I love a good challenge so I browsed the website, chose the perfect dress, and set about looking for accessories to make five different, but totally versatile looks. The dress I chose was the Florencia cotton/Silk dress which is still available in all…

Sorting out those eye problems with Optical Express
Once upon a time, the only way to deal with eye problems was through the wearing of glasses. They came in all guises, from National Health monstrosities I remember so well from school (pink and blue frames for girls, the brown frames that Jarvis Cocker wore so ironically for boys), to much more expensive, stylish designs. Glasses could look great, but they also proved to be expensive, made certain sports and activities difficult, and could even be slightly painful for the nose. Contact lenses were a brilliant development for many people. They alleviated the need to wear glasses, but for some people they were never a real option. My sister…
