Approach with Caution

Approach with Caution

You may have realised from the lack of regular posts that I’m still very poorly. I’m really struggling to shake off this terrible flu thing which appears to have turned into a bad infection and a myriad of other aches and pains. I feel as though I’ve been hit by a bus – a phrase…

Meet me at the Maison? Brunch and Bras…

This London Fashion Week (15th-19th February) I am on quite an exciting mission. I’m working with Triumph International, official catwalk lingerie suppliers for LFW, to be their “eyes and ears” and report on what’s happening both backstage and on the catwalk. I’ll be taking over their Twitter, Instagram and Facebook feeds and racing around between…

What Is Vine?

As if we didn’t have enough things to do online already (shopping, emailing, watching funny kittens) the internet has thrown us another time-sapping activity: Vine. Vine is a new twitter app that lets you produce 6-second long “looping” videos (as you’d think: they just go round and round) and post them up for all to…

Hammock Withdrawal, Sloth Swaddling and Other Stories

How-de-doody everyone, I’m back! Feeling revved-up and renewed and all ready for another year. Can you believe that I haven’t even touched the computer for almost three weeks? It was hard work pre-scheduling all of those posts but definitely worth it – I’ve never been so relaxed! Just in case you have been living in a cave,…

A Christmas Card for You!

A Christmas Card for You!

 Merry Christmas you wonderful, wonderful lot. Feel privileged that you’ve actually got some form of card – I didn’t send any this year! I was hoping that Mr AMR would take the card-writing on as one of his errands, but you can never trust a man to do anything that involves stamps, address books and…writing…

Housekeeping in the Heat

Housekeeping in the Heat

Whoo! It is H-O-T here in London! As a sun-worshipper you’d think that I’d have been basking in my roof-garden but no, I have been house-keeping. Not the domestic kind, but the technical computer-based kind. In yet another hurdle that has been set before me, my database decided to develop a bit of a problem…

Please Note: I Am in LA!

Please Note: I Am in LA!

I’m off to LA on a bit of a business trip, though hopefully a pleasurable one! Please do behave yourselves whilst my back is turned – no stealing from the sweetie jars. I have scheduled all of the posts until next week (like I’d leave you with no posts!) but comment-approval and question-answering may be…

The Forum’s Demise

It is with great sadness that I declare The Forum closed. (OK, perhaps not great sadness – it’s not like we were all on there 24/7, was it?! But still, it’s kind of sad.) It was an absolute nightmare trying to keep track of spammers and remove their posts – even with every bit of…
