The Lazy Girls Guide to Looking Like a Million When You Feel Like 20p

I’m feeling a little delicate this morning. A little too much celebration after Englands win yesterday afternoon means I’m trying not to type too loud. So, on a morning like this, one where I have to face the world while not feeling (or looking) my very best, I’m in need of a few props to

We're Gonna Rule the School…..

Do you recognise the title of this post? If not you need to immediately purchase and watch a copy of Grease. Seriously, it’s only £3, you really should. I can remember very specifically the first time I saw Grease. It was the late 80s, and the Summer Club I went to in the holidays (The

Lucious Lingerie – Girdles and Waist Cinchers

Yes, I’m back on the lingerie lust again…. I haven’t posted about pants since February, but the urge to spend silly amounts of money on frivolities has reared its ugly head again. In fact, this time I’m not even sure I count my current objects of desire as frivolities. What I’m particularly lusting after is

Behind the Scenes with Lady K Loves

Last week I took a little trip to Tunbridge Wells to the Spa Valley Railway. But this was no jolly on a steam train. No. I was there with the wonderful Kessie of Lady K Loves shooting her new pieces for Autumn Winter. The shoot has a glamorous, dark and mysterious film noir feel and
