Vaseline Paint the Town launches at Selfridges
Hot on the heels of the ‘pink bubbly’ Champagne version of Vaseline Lip Therapy, Selfridges have launched another gorgeous limited edition. ‘Paint the Town is a fabulous little tin of lip moisturisation, but with the added bonus of also tinting the lips with a gorgeous light red stain. I had the pleasure of being sent a pot from Selfridges, and am quite frankly hooked! Vaseline has long been a favourite for its lip protection and nourishment, and this new version is no different in that respect. I’ve suffered from very dry and cracked lips through the summer holidays, with sun damage being part of the problem Vaseline keeps the lips…

One final summer day trip with the kids
The summer holidays means time spent with the kids but it is over all too soon. Those six weeks of time away from school is a great chance to spend some quality time together. Visits to the beach, the zoo or a theme park are something that many families enjoy together over the holidays. When the summer is ending it’s always nice to enjoy one last trip out together. Be comfortable and confident in your outfit and don’t forget to take an extra layer in case that autumn weather starts closing in sooner than you’d like.

BHS A/W 13 – Fifty shades of Grey
Continuing with my trawl around the new Autumn/Winter ranges arriving in shops every day, I’m now turning my attention to BHS.

It is now most definitely a place to add to your Saturday shopping list, and if you are online, you can make great savings with a BHS promo code. The striking thing about the current BHS collection is the use of grey as a great base colour for the range. Grey is always…

Boden have been releasing new pieces over the past couple of weeks that deserve the title ‘Autumn Heroes’. These are pieces that keep you looking stylish in the cool temperatures, but…

Tu launches new range in Sainsbury’s stores
I love the fact that supermarkets sell clothing. Apart from the easy convenience of picking up something when you are doing your food and home shop, I love the fact it seems like a guilt free purchase – just pop it in the trolley and pay for it with the rest of your shopping, hide it from your hubby amongst the loo rolls if need be! Sainsbury’s has long since produced a great quality collection with ‘Tu’. The wardrobe basics and jeans have become almost wardrobe staples for many of us, and the Gok Wan collection is ever evolving and popular. And now, the brand has been relaunched this month…
