This week my Meets interview is a little different. It’s a little special and here’s why. On Monday 6th July 2023 the latest “top list” to hit the business press focuses on women in business. Management Today name the top 35 women in business in the UK under the age of 35. It’s an award […]

This year I made a new best friend. Joey Lauren. She came everywhere with me, she was stylish, practical, useful and was rather handy at carrying all of my day to day life essentials. She truly was a dream to have around and was easy to spot with her bright red tones. Of course, I’m […]

The clocks change this coming weekend and I am not looking forward to it being dark before I even leave the office for home in the evenings. Gone are my early evening runs, bright out the high vis, the gloves and the head torch…or a glass of wine and a good movie instead. This time […]

With summer here but always hiding behind the clouds at some point, I find that I need to layer up each day to deal with all great British weather eventualities. The kimono is great for this and a key trend piece this season. Now I’m not normally a floaty, waspish fashion piece kind of a […]

Having recently had my man, down on one knee in front of me, in the heart of Paris proposing, naturally Paris holds a special place in my heart. As well as the romanticism of the city the fashion and style of the French women just exudes glamour for me. French Style | L’amour Blouse | […]

I don’t know about you, but I am dreaming of warmer days, maybe heading to a beach far away and having some downtime in a country where I don’t have to wear a jacket all the time! This got me thinking about the ultimate travel essentials I need when I go away on holiday. So […]

Every girl wants to make sure she looks her most fabulous self on the beach. While we all preen ourselves to perfection to get our body bikini ready, the fact remains that, despite our best efforts, some bikinis and swimsuits only suit certain body shapes. Swimsuit Styles to Flatter Your Body Shape From bandeaus and […]

With summer on its way, I am already planning my wardrobe for our holiday to Devon in June. I like to go away for my birthday, so we’ve booked a few days away in Salcombe for some time by the coast, great food, a few glasses of bubbles and some relaxation. We’re also heading to […]

This month in my role as Blogger Expert with Kaleidoscope, I am testing out the spring trends. I know it’s not quite warm enough yet but I am getting ready for those clocks springing forward and for longer days and a glimpse of sunshine. I’m currently working on transitioning my wardrobe through to spring. Here […]

Last year I have the privilege of testing out a fabulous beauty clinic in Royal Tunbridge Wells, No6. Having lived in the town for over ten years, I’ve tried my fair share of beauty salons, spas and clinics and of course I have a few firm favourites. It is always nice to try somewhere new […]

This week one of my much loved fashion magazines, Red had a piece on their website on the wardrobe classic that is the trench coat. More importantly, the lovely Hannah Gilchrist wrote of the fashion girl’s guide to wearing a trench coat. Perfect timing, as for one of my last pieces for La Redoute following […]

I have been invited to share my ideal holiday with you lovely readers for a chance to win a pair of sunglasses from Avenue 32. So this got me thinking. You’ve won the National Lottery, the money is safely tucked away in your bank account. You’ve taken an extended break form work (ok so you […]

Last week I had the privilege to attend the #RedLovesGap Red Magazine spring high street event at Gap on Oxford Street, London. The event brought together a great British fashion and lifestyle magazine, Red, with much loved high street favourite, Gap, with a focus on new season and four key trends for Spring/Summer. It’s the […]

The long awaited film, 50 Shades of Grey will hit UK cinema’s on the 13th of February. We’ve already organised our night out at the cinema with the girls in the office. I think it will be an interesting film, but maybe you’re more VLM than S&M. What am I talking about? Well CODE VLM […]

After New Zealand Fashion Week I had two weeks dashing around New Zealand, so on my return I only had a fleeting visit to London Fashion Week. I can never have a season at LFW without seeing one of my favourite designers, Omar Mansoor. London based, Pakistani designer, Omar Mansoor showed his 10th collection at […]
