Great British Bake Off Inspiration for Christmas
It is officially the biggest programme of 2015, with 12.29 million viewers tuning into the final to see Nadiya Hussein crowned the well deserved winner. I can only be talking about the Great British Bake Off, the programme that makes stars out of star bakers, has made Mary Berry a fashion inspiration, and has made Paul Hollywood into a sex symbol (something I totally don’t get…but he does have Paul Newman eyes….if you squint!). A fabulous infographic by Bingo Find gives some of the facts and figures about the series that should be loved by aged grannies and spinster aunts, but is, in fact, loved by everyone, not least my…

Annabelle Neilson talks about the Me Me Me’s
Fresh from the successful launch of the ‘Me Me Me’s’ I was asked if I wanted to put a few questions to its author, fashion model and muse to Alexander McQueen, Annabelle Neilson. Of course, this is an offer that is too good to refuse, so this morning I am treating Fashion-Mommy readers to a lovely glimpse into the life of Annabelle, and inspiration for the fantastic new book series. 1) What made you decide to move into the area of Children’s books? I don’t feel that I decided, I started writing ‘On The Pond’ and then a couple of other short pieces; it just happened as…

The Brides Trail launch at the Grosvenor Casino
I have been to lots of launches in my time as a blogger. Restaurants, hotels, fashion ranges, new beauty products, even toy launches – I have done them all. But I had never been to a book launch, which is unusual, as I am a voracious reader who loves a new book and book shops more than, well, pretty much everything. But all this changed on Monday night, when I , accompanied by my sister Jodie, attended the launch of the latest thriller from author AA Abbott. The Brides Trail follows the mysterious disappearance of a glamorous croupier, Kat, and the race to find her by her friends, and also…

Annabelle Neilson launches The Me Me Me’s
The model and socialite (and Kate Moss bestie) Annabelle Neilson is about to add another string to an already impressive bow with the launch of her children’s book series. Entitled The Me Me Me’s and starting with a little red character ‘Angry Me’, Annabelle is leaving the fashion world far behind and is instead delving into the world of often volatile children’s emotions. The Me Me Me’s series is appearing at a perfect time, with the film ‘Inside Out’ showing the wide range of feelings and emotions that children are sometimes unable to express in their own words. ‘Angry Me’ is all about a little red character of who struggles…

King & McGaw – Easyart gets a new name!
In February I did a post about the amazing range of images and art prints that are available at Easyart. (You can check out that post here.) Since then, Easyart has had a name change and is now known as King & McGaw, but the fabulous quality and range is still the same and comes highly recommended by Fashion-Mommy. I was recently sent a beautiful print that is now taking pride of place in my living room, and I have to say that the all round service by King McGaw makes them very easy to recommend. For me personally, one of the main things I worry about when ordering a…
