Stylish television – Partners in Crime
It seems that Sunday nights at the BBC are determined to transport us back in time to the 1950s. Hot on the heels of The Outcast, we have ‘Partners in Crime’, based on Agatha Christie stories about Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, originally set in the 1920s, but moved forward in time to the 1950s. Jessica Raine plays Tuppence Beresford, a glamorous accidental detective with a wardrobe to just about die for. Partners in Crime may be set in the 1950s, but the wardrobe bares little resemblance to the full skirted prom style dresses and floral prints of The Outcast. (You can read all about the fashion of that series here.)…

Everyone needs a versatile dress in Summer
What would your definition of a versatile dress be? For me, it is something that I want to have in my wardrobe because I will get lots of wear out of it, for lots of different occasions. It is a failsafe dress, one that doesn’t really need a lot of thought – you can just thrown it on. And, of course, it is super flattering and comfortable, a dress I feel good wearing.

It has already had three wears, all for different occasions, and I know it will…

Bathtime treats from Treacle Moon
Treacle Moon is a lovely UK brand that you may be aware of from certain supermarkets. (It is stocked in both Tesco and Waitrose). The brand is a lovely range of bath and pamper products, each with a unique, scrumptious smell and it’s own story, one which can be read from the front of the bottle. Treacle Moon is now in its 8th year, and has recently further extended the brand with a whole range of new and delicious sounding flavours. I was lucky enough to be sent a couple of bottles of bath and shower gel in a couple of the new flavours to try out. That Vanilla Moment…

Wednesday Fashion Focus
Sometimes I write about fashion to focus on particular trends that I am loving. Sometimes I write about fashion because I want to discuss the latest celebrity looks, and give you some ideas on how to get them. But sometimes I just want to write about pretty things I would love to add to my wardrobe, and this is one of those days. It seems that Wednesday may well be the new Friday when it comes to getting a great deal on fashion websites. Today Dorothy Perkins are offering some amazing picks with 24% off for the next 24 hours. I love the idea of wearing the tan t-shirt dress…

A few tips for updating your bedroom on a budget
For me, Summer is always the time of year to decorate and renovate. The warm weather means that it’s OK to have all the windows open as paint dries, and once September hits, I’m too caught up in Christmas planning to give the house any real thought. I had already mentioned in a previous post that we are currently planning on decorating the dining room before the summer is out, we also have plans for an overhaul in our bedroom too. But it has to be said that doing a host of home decoration at one time can be expensive, so I have put together a few tips that may…
