I was going to start this post by working out how much it would cost to replace all of my coat hangers with Jo Malone’s English Pear & Freesia scented ones, (£2520!), but no need. Because you only need TWO hangers to beautifully scent your whole wardrobe. Thank God. I don’t know how long the scent will last for,…
Sorry to jump on the bandwagon here – and at a rather late stage – but I couldn’t not write about my Burger & Lobster visit. Everyone and their aunt has been tweeting pics of themselves eating lobster at this place, and I wanted to add my penny’s worth! If you’re a Londoner you will no doubt…
Well that went well, didn’t it? I promised a Blog Spotlight winner by the end of March so that their sidebar ad could run for the month of April and we are now in April and no sign of any progress until now. My apologies – I kind of knew that this would happen (especially as I was in Palm Springs…
I’m doing quite well at getting these vlogs out (would have been better if they’d been out when I was actually in Palm Springs, but hey!) so I’m going to keep up the momentum and edit my last one tonight. This is the third one. (Is it? I do hope I haven’t posted this twice!) If you…
People of Bath and Bristol hear ye, hear ye: my friend is having an event at her brilliant shoe boutique Lux over the weekend. As part of the Bath in Fashion week, there’s a 20% discount on all shoes and on Saturday afternoon there will be bubbly and cupcakes. I’m going to try and get down there from…
Sorry, I simply couldn’t resist. Poor old Mr Bear. It really is the angle, you know. He’s not actually overweight! Apparently British Shorthair cats can grow up to 10kg, and Mr Bear is around 6kg. He still looks teeny to me, but then when I see other cats I realise just how chunky he is. The big,…
I’m getting seriously, seriously disgruntled with some of the parcel delivery services in the UK at the moment. I’m not talking about Parcelforce or Fedex (though they have their moments), I’m talking about these shoddy little local services that employ people in unmarked vans who post scraps of photocopied paper through the letterbox without ringing…
Sunday Tittle Tattle (noun?): everything from the week that I have forgotten to post about, in easy brunch-sized chunks… Well! What a week. As per usual, I have done nothing on my to-do list apart from have the much-put-off conversation with my accountants, who needed to know what the regular payments to “ASOS” and “The Outnet” were…
I challenge you to just eat one of these truffles and then put the lid back on. They are the girliest, cutest chocolates the world has ever seen and they taste like sweets, perfume and champagne all rolled into one. (Perfume? I know. Mr AMR can’t stand these truffles, he thinks that they’re vile, but…
Oh, Mr Bear. We all know the feeling. Who’s stuffed yet? Who literally could not eat another thing? I want – no need – to know what the worst thing you’ve eaten has been this Christmas and New Year. Hit me with it – make me laugh. Once my best friend emailed me a list of every…
It’s kind of sad that Christmas is now dominated by present-buying followed immediately by sales-buying, but I do make the majority of my large fashion investments during sale times and I also like to stock up on little bargains to give as birthday presents throughout the year! Penhaligons has some absolutely beautiful things reduced by up to…
Who does their shopping on Christmas Eve? I’ll tell you who. Mr AMR. Me. Both of us, dashing in and out of the emptying shops, frantically calling one another for progress reports and irritable exchanges. I have no idea why we always end up shopping on Christmas Eve but have a suspicion that it might be down…
What is this “sleeps” business? When did we, as adults, start saying “sleeps” instead of “days”? I can’t bear it! I’m banning it from my life and if I hear anyone say it I am going to put my fingers in my ears and go “NAHAHAHAHAHAHNAAAA” like a fire engine whilst stamping my feet. I’m…
Well. I have been beavering away to relaunch my Luxury Gift Ideas site – those old-school followers may remember it in its first incarnation? Yes, Dear Friends, I’m talking about Keep Calm and Shop! It’s back! You need never be stuck for a gift idea again – and, if you always get terrible presents from your loved…
I’m knee-deep in fake snow and I must say, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at A Model Recommends HQ! I have to start my festivities a little earlier than most because of the Christmas Gift Guides, but I actually like having those extra couple of weeks to feel nicely festive and build up…
Those who were asking about the oversized knitted bedding in the Best Pyjamas Ever post – it’s from The White Company. You’ll see it in more detail in tomorrow’s post (it’s a good one, tomorrow, I’m excited!) but I just received a voucher code for 20% off everything online and so I thought I’d post…
OK, I know this is going to divide people, opinion-wise, but why in God’s name would cinemas choose POPCORN as the snack to sell to people when they are watching a movie? It makes absolutely no sense at all! The only noise you’re supposed to hear in a cinema is the one coming out of the speakers…
I have a good number of teenaged followers on Youtube and so I thought that I’d tap into my own infinite wisdom (ha!) and make a video about things that I’d say to my teenage self. Don’t even ask why I get all emotional at the start – I’m pretty sure I had quite a good teenager-hood…
