Retro Chick Reviews – Illamasqua lipstick

When I went to the My Sugarland blogger event the other week we were packed off home with a little goodie bag. Inside that goodie bag was a lipstick.

A Love Story About a Dress and the No Strings Burlesque Cabaret

This outfit is like a love story. One of those stories where the protagonists meet, and they’re in love, but they’re not in the right place in their lives so they go their separate ways and meet up again in 20 years when they’ve grown and matured, and then they live happily after. Well, it’s

Autumn Wish List

There’s definitely that end of Summer feeling in the air. Even when the sun is shining it has that weak and watery feel that reminds me that the evenings are already getting darker and gives me a back to school kind of feeling. As I sadly put away my summer frocks for another year it’s

Did you miss me? Ok, so it’s not exactly London, Paris, Milan, New York, but that’s where I’ve spent the last week. So today I thought I’d give you a whistle stop update on my weeks holiday, helpfully split into sections coinciding with the places visited. After that we can all go back to normal
