Get your Pantomime Inspiration with Spartoo
Looking for some shoe inspiration this Christmas? Looked at all your usual style icons and found nothing to your fancy? Then why don’t you take a look at some of the shoes sported by those stars of the festive season, the panto characters? Not convinced? Then read on… Principal Boy = Irregular Choice The Principal Boy has always been traditionally played by a pretty girl, often in a rather short costume and some form of shoe boots.

Duchess Kate proves red coats are not just for Santa
I love a nice red coat, and it seems I’m in good company. Last weekend the Duchess of Cambridge attended a rugby match wearing her lovely LK Bennett. full length red coat, looking both snug and stylish for the outdoor event. This was one outfit you could not blame her for recycling, what could look more warm and festive than a red coat? (Just ask Santa – he’s sure to agree.) Kate’s red coat look is all over the High Street and internet at the moment, with nearly all the High Street big boys having a red coat in their seasonal collection. And why not? A red coat is a…

Christmas is coming to Hotel La Tour
Hotel La Tour is the newest must visit destination in Birmingham. A stunning, ultra modern, landmark building on the Brummie skyline, Hotel La Tour offers a beautiful setting for luxurious dining. So I was very excited last week when I received an invite from my lovely friend and fellow blogger Emily Jayne to sample their latest afternoon tea offering which promised a real taste of Christmas. It was the coldest and windiest day imaginable last Thursday, but Hotel La Tour soon raised the spirits – it was in the middle of being decorated for Christmas and looked simply beautiful, like those gorgeous New York hotels you always see in festive…

Lush launch ‘FUN’ with a whole lot of fun
I was invited to a special event in Covent Garden last week, when one of my fave beauty stores Lush, launched a brand new product called ‘FUN’. This proved to be a fab event and a whole lot of fun, although I really wished I had taken my little boy Joe along to take part in the fun. ‘FUN’ is a brand new wonder product, aimed at children, but really for children of all ages. Imagine a plastacine/playdoh that your child could happily use in the bath, and then use to wash both their hair and body and you have the general gist of FUN. It is the ideal product…
