Escaping to some Winter Sun
That’s it, we are officially in Christmas season. John Lewis have released their advert this morning and it is another absolute triumph, a real tear jerker entitled ‘The Man in the Moon’. This very fact, combined with the passing of both Halloween and Bonfire Night, means that we are now safely on the home stretch towards Christmas. But what if your best answer to Christmas and Winter is to escape it? What if you like a little Winter Sun. There are certainly some real bargains to be found at this time of year, with companies like Sunshine.co.uk offering cheap flights, hotels and package holidays while the season is quieter. But,…

All the charm of Christmas with Lily Charmed
There’s a reindeer, a penguin, a snowflake and a Christmas tree. No, I’m not talking about Disney’s follow up to Frozen, but the beautiful, magical Christmas charm collection from Lily Charmed. These stunning pendants and bracelets are gorgeous gift ideas for moms, sisters, aunties and best friends, and could also be the perfect answer for those who want to wear something Christmassy, but find the ubiquitous jumper a little bit too much. I have been a fan of Lily Charmed, and its quirky, adorable charms, since I discovered they had created a Custard Cream charm – how could anyone resist a tribute to their favourite biscuit. I loved the fact…

#WhatWoodYouPlay – Stepping back in time with wooden toys
It seems that when it comes to children’s toy, this Christmas may well see the return of the classic wooden designs that children of previous generations enjoyed. Parents, fed up with the flimsy nature of cheap plastic, or the amount of batteries required for even the simplest motorised toy or game, are turning back to the beautifully designed pieces they remember playing with in their infancy and are getting ready to introduce their children to toys that help develop real adventurous and imaginative play. How we used to play I love the traditional nature of wooden toys, the fact that children have been playing with this sort of toy for…

Dorothy Perkins Winter Warmers
1st November. And although the sun is now shining high in the sky, this morning there was a definite cold chill in the air, along with mist and fog that said just one thing – Winter is coming. As a person who hates all things cold, and longs for sunshine and heat, the only things that make me even slightly smile at the coming of Winter is Christmas, and the chance to add some sparkle and winter woollies to the wardrobe. Frankly everything else, the cold, snow, sleet, dark nights, dark mornings, sludge etc, etc, can just do one! (Anything mulled can stay though…) This month the fashion focus is…
