2015's Best Faux Fur Collar Winter Coats

I’m really cold, and that means that even though it’s still blatantly Autumn, I’m starting to think about Winter, and more specifically about coats. A winter coat can be a big investment purchase, with even one on the cheap end of the scale not normally coming in a lot under £100. I’m fairly sure any

Retro Chick Reviews: Younique Stiff Upper Lip Lip Stain

So, my sister is a rep for the new cult beauty brand that is Younique. You must have heard of Younique? I’m fairly sure at this point in time every woman in the Western world has at least one friend who is selling Younique or trying to get them to sign up as a Younique

Dressed Down Cocktails

You don’t even want to know how many cocktails I’ve drunk since Saturday. No really, you don’t. Oh ok, it’s somewhere in the region of 25 Cocktails, it feels like more than it looks.

An Indian Summer

Over the weekend the UK, or at least Norwich, basked in an Indian Summer. The weather was beautiful and warm, which is a good job because as I headed out for the first night of Norwich Cocktail Week on Saturday I couldn’t find the black top I originally wanted to wear and in the end

Outfit Post: The Little Black Dress

All being well this week I will be heading off on my holiday to Oktoberfest in Munich for a few days, which means as you read this I will probably be packing, picking up Euros and generally doing all the other slightly panicky things one does before one goes on holiday. On Friday I went
