John Lewis Secret Santa…and a touch of Temperley
You may remember a few weeks ago I told you all about the Bloggers Secret Santa that I was taking part in, courtesy of John Lewis. Well, last Friday I received my present through the post, chosen by the lovely Sioned of Tea and Fairylights, I don’t mind admitting that I was super excited to open the present- I am a fan of all things Christmas, and I possibly get even more excited than my four-year-old, which is definitely saying something. On tearing the packaging I let out a little squeal when I saw a Somerset by Alice Temperley label, and realised that this was a gift of cashmere. Sioned…

M&S – Picks from the Press Day and seasonal treats for Christmas
The Marks and Spencer press day has become one of the key events when looking towards a new season on fashion. Held at the beautiful No1 Marylebone, this is always an event not to be missed, one that promises to be full of the designs you will be wearing next season. The Spring/Summer event took place a couple of weeks ago and I was lucky enough to be sent an invitation. The ranges were organised under evocative titles, ‘White Out’ offered crisp, clean, minimal lines in the colour that is always most perfect for accompanying a suntan in Summer. I loved the Charlotte Rampling inspiration of the white trouser suit,…

A gift of time from the Best Gift Company
I was once asked what I thought was the perfect Christmas present for a person who was ‘difficult to buy for.’ You know the sort of person that I mean. The one who if you actually ask them ‘what do you want?’ will give you an answer about not wanting anything, not needing anything, or just the comment that virtually brings me out in an attack of hives – ‘buy me anything!’ (Aaaarrrggghhhh!) Choosing the present can be made even more difficult if you are not really sure what you would get for them fashion wise, and if they seem to have a lack of hobbies that you could help…

Deck the Halls with John Lewis this Christmas
I have a family tradition when it comes to Christmas.The 1st December is dedicated to putting up the Christmas tree and ‘decking the halls’ throughout my house. And although I choose an artificial tree so do not replace this every year, I do insist on buying new decorations to add to my already burgeoning collection – tree decorations, things to decorate the mantlepieces, new candles and a whole host of other items that just catch my eyes when I’m out and about. This year, my eyes have been drawn to the Christmas home and decoration range from John Lewis. In particular I love the way that the tree decorations have…

Swarovski Crystal Jewellery – The perfect Christmas gift idea.
For many ladies this Christmas, there is just one thing that they wish to find in their Christmas stocking. No, I’m not talking about George Clooney or David Gandy, although I’m sure they would be popular choices too, I’m talking about the gift of jewellery. It is always such a treat to be given a little parcel, and to know it contains something beautiful and sparkling that has been especially chosen for us by someone special. And, let’s be honest, when we talk about perfect sparkling bling, can we think of anything better than a gift from Swarovski UK? One of the best places to find an enormous selection of…
