    Ok, so I’ll be honest, I started off so well with the present buying thing I thought I had it literally all wrapped up.  However when I’ve taken stock there’s another thing I wanted to buy for Mr B, a stocking filler for my mum, a little something extra for Dad and then my friends…

    We all know how difficult men can be to buy for. I find it beyond tricky to buy for Mr B as he runs a menswear brand and has the accessories side of things pretty much covered. So I need to think beyond the obvious ties and socks. If you’re like me and still shopping online…

    This year I’ve gone for double lace as my party season look.  I’ve dabbled in lace before but never gone for matching skirt and blouse.    I knew as soon as I saw the quality of the lace that I would like this look, It’s very Italian, very grown up, a little Dolce & Gabanna…

    I’m guessing you have all been exposed to some sort of Black Friday Sale today? Did you like it? Did you buy? As a retailer, writer and consumer I’m really not sure. On the one hand, we all like bargains for Christmas but then I hardly ever pay full price for anything. I always shop…

    So by the time you read this I will be in Venice, City of water and love.  Oh, how I’ve longed to float around St Marks Square in Palazzo pants, an oversized sun hat and sunglasses, all silk and ethereal loveliness like Amal Clooney.  Except it’s the end of November and it’s cold and raining…

    By far the most useful and loved items in my wardrobe are scarves. I’ve long been a lover of this silk, demure yet seductive accessory.  A new designer scarf in silk, or silk georgette is my idea of heaven.
