Spotted! GORGEOUS yellow enamel mugs – and they’re only £4!

I WANT these mugs for my road trip. How can you possibly be uncheered drinking your morning coffee out of one of these gobsmackingly cheerful beauties? Love love LOVE them – the yellow speckled enamel mugs were spotted over at Utility, my brand shiny new find, a home of all things wonderful. The mugs are 8cm high, 8cm diameter – and the unbelievably brilliant price of just FOUR POUNDS EACH!

Now THIS is a tablet… Asus Transformer Pad TF701T

This is the latest in ASUS’s tablet/laptop mashup, with the tablet having a detachable keyboard dock (with a second battery and extra ports). Naturally, as I do with the more serious tech reviews, after a quick peer and play I handed it straight over to the 15yr old gamer to put it through a far more rigorous test than my own Facebook/Hootsuite/Frozen Freefall would accomplish. Here’s what he had to say: We’ve reviewed...

These are just far too cute for words. Talk about the perfect match for that vintage tea dress, or to glam up a pair of jeans. There are eight bags in the collection, each adorned with a different vintage style book jacket.  With a design to suit every look, they are the perfect go-to accessory for adding glamour to your everyday style or as the finishing touch to a vintage inspired outfit. My own personal favourite? This one:...

The Tiny Bedroom Makeover – it’s the Grand Reveal!

As regular readers know, we’ve been hard at work the last week on our Tiny Bedroom Makeover, creating a total transformation in our 7yr old daughters’ L-shaped tiny shoebox bedroom. You can follow all the Tiny Bedroom Makeover posts here, but this is the end result. And we’re a bit pleased with how it finally turned out… Remember – this is where we began. Green walls, still in her cotbed, no storage,...
