Half term holiday ideas
After waiting what has seemed like an eternity for a holiday, Easter will soon be upon us. What is more, it will be quickly followed by Mayday and then the Whitsun break. Yes, holiday season is here, so now might be the perfect time for thinking about a short break, or a longer vacation. With schools now taking a dim view on parent’s who take their children out of school, holidays have become an even more expensive luxury for those who decide to play by the rules. But there are hotels you can find in last minute deals that offer real bargains, and there are also other ways of keeping…

Made in Chelsea is back
Made is Chelsea is back. Yes, my absolute fave reality docu-soap/drama (delete as applicable because I’m never really sure what it is) is back on E4 tonight, and I have to admit to being more than a little excited. I don’t know what it is about Made in Chelsea that keeps me enthralled and coming back for more, it might be the tangled love life of the odious, yet strangely compelling Spencer Matthews, or maybe it is the fact that my best friend used to live in that part of London and I become slightly obsessed with the Kings Road and surrounding areas, so now love to spot them on…

Fabulous Mother’s Day Florals from Moonpig
On Tuesday I spent a lovely day in the gorgeous confines of the Montague Hotel in Bloomsbury. Enjoying a range of gorgeous sweet treats and Prosecco, I was a guest of the brand Moonpig.com as they showcased their latest floral offerings, just in time for Mother’s Day. Now I guess that I’m not the only person who believed that Moonpig.com was merely the home of personalised greetings cards. But to dismiss Moonpig as just a place to find a great card would be silly in the extreme. The brand is responsible for some of the loveliest floral bouquets and arrangements that you would ever wish to see. And showcasing these…

Look Again Press Event – Introducing Stacey Solomon
A couple of weeks ago I ventured to the glossy confines of Vanilla in London for a very special press event. Look Again were launching their ranges for Spring/Summer 2014, and also unveiling their new celebrity face of the brand, the very lovely Stacey Solomon. The papparazi were there in droves to photograph Stacey in some of the highlights from the new range, it was fascinating to see at close range just how frenzied the atmosphere can be. It really was mayhem, with photographers all shouting at the same time and seeming to fall over each other in a bid to get the best shots. Stacey, though, was the consummate…

New season bags from Spartoo
I always think Spring is the perfect time to invest in a shiny new handbag. There are always lots of new styles available, in a range of new season colours that you almost become spoiled for choice. I love handbags, having far more than I could ever wish to use. But some of them have seen better days. Having a little boy I often end up carrying the most unexpected of items in my bag – this week, I have taken out a tennis ball (a 50p purchase my son insisted on when we were looking around Sports Direct), stickers that are no longer sticky, a half eaten milky bar…
