I've become rather fond of a good slogan or logo on a t-shirt. It jazzes things up a bit, elevates the t-shirt from being a plain, utilitarian sort of thing to more of a considered outfit choice. Except that it isn't, of course, because it takes just the same amount...
Right. I know it's snowing in the UK and we're all frozen into our homes, tapping fruitlessly at the insides of our iced-over windows in the hope that someone happens to be passing with a blow-torch and chisel so that we can be released from our chilly confines (just...
We now have a bed in our bedroom, which is great news because the novelty factor of sleeping on the floor on a mattress had just about started to wear off. Sleeping on just a mattress has its benefits, namely that you can - quite literally - roll out of bed in the...
Strictly speaking, this isn't really a Weekly Window Shop at all, is it? Because - even though I did spend rather a lot of time faffing around putting things in and out of my online baskets - I ended up buying it all. Which takes it from "window shop" to (one of my...
Whilst browsing for a lamp shaped like a monkey (as you do) I stumbled across a brilliant page with ideas for alternative Christmas decorations. It was on Amara*, a designer interiors website that I buy home stuff from quite a lot - they do some really interesting...
If you're still Christmas shopping and starting to panic (I have three presents left to get, I'm with you!) then prepare to be saved: not only do many of the things in my previous gift guides come from online stores with one day delivery (get it on Friday if you order...
Some stuff I'd buy for myself, in this week's Window Shop - though there's a sort of caveat, because the title should really say Stuff I'd Buy Myself If I Wasn't Pregnant. Being pregnant does something odd to me in that I can't think about things that are more than a...
I've had a bit of help with this teen girl gift guide; massive thanks to Rosalie who sat with me and went through all of the things she would be pleased (or not pleased) to receive as a Christmas present, and then did exactly the same thing putting herself in her...
Here it is: the women's Christmas Gift Guide. I find that women are much, much easier to buy for than men. My friends like almost anything that smells or looks or feels nice. I like almost everything that smells or looks or feels nice. I honestly don't know how people...
The Weekly Window Shop is being temporarily replaced with the Weekly Christmas Shop - there'll be something festive each week to get you started with your shopping or give you a few handy ideas. Call it a gift guide, call it present p*rn: just know I have it all...
Needless to say there's not much in the way of extreme sexiness going on behind my closed doors at the moment - I'm now at the inflated-water-balloon-strapped-to-front-of-the-body stage of pregnancy and am also permanently knackered. However, the nights are drawing...
It's back by popular demand - the Weekly Window Shop. All feedback duly noted, though the suggestion to make it monthly or bi-monthly does sort of mess with my alliteration! Monthly Window Shop doesn't have quite the same ring to it. We return with a bit of a selfish...
