Boohoo Plus launch the Nadia Collection
New York based blogger Nadia Aboulhosn is a true icon for the plus size fatshionista. A gorgeous fashion savvy lady, with natural style in abundance, Nadia is witty and down-to-earth, and now counts Lena Dunham amongst her celebrity fans. All this makes her the perfect person to collaborate with Boohoo’s plus size range on their first celebrity/brand fusion. Nadia is well known for the statement pieces she wears in her Instagram #OOTD posts, and this is what she has created with Boohoo.

Reviewed – Pearl Rondel Bracelet from Pearl and Clasp
In general, the jewellery I own is costume stuff. I love statement necklaces, plastic bangles, little treasures I’ve picked up on my travels abroad and diamante bling. Most of my jewellery has sentimental, rather than actual value. But there is an exception to the rule. I love pearls. Pearls are the birthstone for June, they are a jewel that always looks pretty but with an edge of cool, Marianne Faithful, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna are just some of the icons who have worn pearls to make a fashion statement. Pearls are a style classic, always current, and always a statement. American Company Pearl and Clasp have a fantastic range of…

M&Co are celebrating the shift dress this Spring

One Man, Two Guvnors, Lots of Laughs
The famed National Theatre production of ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ arrived in Wolverhampton last night at the Grand Theatre, and delivered laughs by the bucketload. This funny, irreverent and often rude masterpiece promised a sort of pantomime for grown-ups, and that was exactly what the audience got. I’m fairly sure a lady sitting behind me literally screamed with laughter – yes, it was that funny. One Man, Two Guvnors starts with an engagement party in Brighton. Unfortunately this one has been hijacked after the intended, prospective bridegroom Roscoe was stabbed to death. Still, the sausage rolls have been ordered so why waste a perfectly good party reasons Charlie the Duck…

Lotto Wishlist for Spring
Can you believe that this year it will 21 years since the National Lottery began in the UK? More importantly, can you believe that in 21 years I still haven’t had anything I would class as a decent win? Yes, three numbers is still as good as it gets for me, although for my hubby it was a different story in 2005, when he had 5 numbers, and was just one off the bonus ball too. How that would’ve changed our lives… Still, if I am being honest, I no longer play the UK lottery, having switched to the Euro Millions last year. I use the Online lottery ticket website…
