There are some fashion trends that my I just can't deal with. Anything cropped. Anything too body-con but made in cheap material. Anything that involves long, tube-like skirts that sit tightly around the middle. Culottes (age me by eighty years), stilettos (always try...
This week I've been testing a selection of moisturisers from Estée Lauder in an attempt to find my perfect fit. In the interests of full transparency, I already had a firm favourite (keep on reading), but being the highly scientific person I am (I'm not) I put my...
I'm pretty sure that my bifocals are trying to kill me. To give you a little background, I now have to have bifocal lenses in my glasses because I work too much on the computer and look at my iPhone too often (getting the "smartphone chins" to top it all off) and my...
I've had a bit of a eureka moment with my house. After a year of dithering and not quite feeling confident about what I wanted to do with it, I feel as though I've finally found my furnishing and decorating groove. I've embraced the Georgian architecture with its...
Oooh, this is nostalgic: a Sunday Tittle Tattle the way it used to be. The way that nature intended. Or at least the way that I intended! Do you remember when the Tittle Tattle was made up of little morsels of unrelated information? Sort of like a notice board? I...
Here's Angelica waiting patiently for her nails to dry (kids' polish) whilst watching Teletubbies on the iPad. My heart can't take it, she's so tiny, yet so grown up - imagine what emotional turmoil I'm going to be in when she hits her teens! She's only three, so...
This video will honestly either make you want to dry heave into a paper bag or fill you with utter joy; it's ever so slightly sentimental andI use my "mummy voice". You have been warned. I went to Lapland on a press trip recently and wanted to film something for Ted...
I thought I'd review this one whilst the crunch of the snow is still fresh in my head; it's the Arctic Treehouse hotel and rather a different affair to the little London rooms I've been trying out recently. Actually, in terms of room size, not so very different, I...
I'm incredibly excited to announce the launch of my collaboration with Elizabeth Arden today; the gorgeous ArdenXAMR beauty gift-with-purchase is now available at Boots and Boots.com! A soft quilted bag in the prettiest of pinks, filled with excellent skincare...
I can now add "tree wrestling" to my list of stupid things I do when I'm pre-menstrual. Honestly, it has been a three day marathon of idiotic decisions, irrational reactions and unprovoked breakdowns. Although the tree wrestling episode was pretty bad and saw me...
I've been raving on about this Becca Ombre Nudes palette for a while now and so - at the risk of over-Becca-ing you this week (see lipstick post here) - I wanted to just do a quick run-down on why I like it so much and why I think it's a good buy. There are plenty of...
I get questioned about my gel nails constantly (what shade of polish, where do I get them done, how much do they cost) and so I thought that I would put all of the information into one permanent post. Because my nails are gel nails but not - possibly - as you know...
