Perfect perfect sweater for Spring from Long Tall Sally
I do understand that Long Tall Sally is not the shop to be going to for a lot of women. But if you do happen to be over 5’8″, I can’t tell you how much you need to be stopping by and taking a look. As I’m nearly 6′ (hey, that half an inch makes all the difference, okay?) I’ve been a fan for rather a long time. So when I was asked to review an item from the new Spring/Summer range, I jumped...

Go With The Throw
Before Christmas we were working with Laura Ashley, who challenged some bloggers to use their Shaldon Stripe or Tartan Cranberry throws in a non-conventional way.
