Wallis bring the glitz to knits
There has been a lot of talk about knitwear on the blog this month, the sudden drop in temperature and the realisation that Winter is just around the corner has made me quite conscious of the need to wrap up, plus there has been the focus on jumpers of the Christmas variety (you can find that post here if you haven’t yet seen it.) But jumpers are not just something to wear when it gets cold, they can also be a really glamorous evening option too. Just ask the people at Wallis. Wallis have taken knitwear in an elegant, evening direction. Using embellishments, glitter thread and fluffy wool, Wallis have…

Have a Boden Christmas
If you are looking for something a little special to wear to a party this Christmas, or you’re looking for a present for the lady in your life (mom, sister, wife, daughter – basically any female relative), then you need to make sure you visit the Boden website this week. For this is the week with the famous 25% off discount that allows you to make some rather good savings on some gorgeous pieces including both clothes and accessories. Boden promises that it offers ‘the gifts she’ll love’, and I have to agree. They have Christmas jumpers with a twist, offering a sparkly bauble or two, or a completely sequined…

Christmas Gift Idea – Books from Lost My Name

The main character in the story, which can be either a boy or a girl, has lost their name, and goes on a journey through a very special land, meeting lots of lovely animals and friends along the way. Their quest is to collect…

Embracing Faux Fur at Next this season
At the risk of repeating myself for the umpteenth time, I have to say I am not a fan of Winter. It is too cold, too dark and too miserable for me, I love light nights, warm days and sunshine. But one thing I do like about Winter is the way it is suddenly acceptable to add really fun, faux fur pieces into the wardrobe, with the mantra seeming to be ‘the brighter, the better.’ I took a little Christmas shopping trip with my mom and sister on Sunday, and mom treated me to a fabulous soft grey fun fur gilet from Next that I have had my eyes on…

L’Occitaine dance into the new season
Every Christmas day I look forward to opening the special present chosen for me by my sister-in-law. I know exactly what it will be, but that doesn’t make it any less welcome or exciting. In fact, it couldn’t be more perfect, because Lina takes a trip to luxurious bath and beauty brand L’Occitaine, and always gets me one of their beautiful gift boxes. And who, frankly, wouldn’t want to find one of those in their stocking on Christmas morning? L’Occitaine, the world renowned natural beauty bran, is famous for a whole range of incredible products, from the traditional Marseille soaps, to the fragrant lavender that is the essential part…
