Penhaligans Launch Juniper Sling in true 1920s style.
A look back at a launch from 2011. The last few weeks have been full of fabulous launches, and one of the most enjoyable was the launch of the gorgeous Juniper Sling at the Penhaligon’s Covent Garden store. This was a special bloggers event with a real ‘Bright Young things’ feel. Flappers, the Charleston, roaring twenties news-stories about the likes of Stephen Tennant and Brenda Dean Paul and a bar serving an arresting array of Gin Cocktails made this a launch party to remember. The launch was to celebrate the newest addition to the iconic Penhaligon’s fragrance family. ‘Juniper Sling’, as the name may suggest, has been inspired by London…

Zara Taylor Jewellery – unusual, quirky and wonderful!
At the recent CICI press day I was thrilled to meet the supremely talented Zara Taylor, the founder and creator of Zara Taylor London, a vintage inspired jewellery line that is attracting huge attention and a celebrity following. I was really impressed with Zara’s creations, which look and feel like beautiful lost treasures that you have uncovered in a long forgotten jewel box. Zara’s pieces include cameos, timepieces and long pendants that are created from both vintage and vintage-inspired materials. I love the telescope that actually works, and the adorable ‘a nice cuppa rosy lea’ pendant with its delicate china cup and pink rose. The vintage timepieces, wore on a…

Spring is a fabulous time to visit, the parks are in full bloom and everything looks better with a bit of sunshine. I have put together a short guide of places to visit this Spring if you are heading for a day out, a quick City break, or a longer trip. Don’t forget to look into getting a London Pass which could help you save money on a range of unmissable attractions, including historic buildings, sporting venues and beautiful gardens. Harrods Harrods is…

A grand opening for ‘Newlife at Home’
A look back to a post about the opening of New Life at Home in 2010. This store is still open. ‘Newlife at Home‘ had a grand opening in Cannock on Saturday, and Fashion-Mommy was luck enough to be invited to the pre launch gathering in order to take a look around the fabulous new store. Newlife is the children’s charity which supports disabled and terminally ill youngsters. It already has an amazing clothing superstore selling top high street brands at low prices, and now it has a must visit home and lifestyle superstore just across the road. The Newlife at Home store is based on the site of the…

A Trip To London With Snap And Buckt
Half term is now over, and the kids are heading back off to school, but hopefully more memories will have been made this school holiday, more trips taken and more days out enjoyed. One of the nicest days I spent with my boy this half term was a trip to London which we took, using Snap coach travel to get to the capital from Birmingham City Centre. I booked the trip for myself and Joe using my Buckt subscription. A Snap trip for two was one of the month’s options, and with Joe having a training day on the Friday before half term I thought this could be a fun…
