Making the most of your bathroom space
In previous posts I have mentioned that this is the year of home improvements for my house. Joe is now five, and the era of drawing on the walls, bouncing toys off the floor and generally wrecking the house seems to have finally come to an end. This means that the areas of the house that had got a little shabby and in need of love can now be addressed without the worry of spending good money after bad. The first room we decided to tackle was the bathroom. We had made a start on this last year (you can read that post here) when we took part in a…

Reviewed – Woven Printed dress from Planet
I often wonder whether this blog should really be called ‘another day, another dress’, because despite the fact I do enjoy wearing casual clothes and jeans when shopping or having downtime, whenever I have an occasion of any sort, I dip into the wardrobe and look for one of my dresses. And I think this explains why I get so excited about reviewing dresses, especially when it is for a label I have never worn before.

Spring at Dorothy Perkins
Spring has sprung at Dorothy Perkins, and it is looking very, very pretty. The High Street store is always one of my fave places to visit when I’m updating my wardrobe for the new season for many reasons. It covers the trends, but not in a fashion victim way. It offers lots of variety, with the additional ranges like Billie & Blossom and Little Mistress. And, most importantly for thrifty fashionista’s, it offers great quality at reasonable prices. The season, Dorothy Perkins is showcasing gorgeous Spring florals, both in strong prints and applique detailing. There are cute playsuits for the young, and retro style dresses for the young at heart.…
