Fabulous Duvet Slippers (yes really) under £5!

I know, I know. They’re duvet slippers and they’re ugly. They are. BUT. They’re duvets! For your FEET! Now I know for a fact that any of you fellow cold-feet-sufferers have just done a double take and oooh-ed excitedly. Oh yes. Because we cold-feet-sufferers know full well that in the quest for warmth, looks will just slide down the priority scale a little.

Gorgeous Holiday Dresses – sale at JD WIlliams!

Just back from a completely fabulous short city break in Bordeaux, I was reminded again about the winder of The Dress. Summer Holiday Dresses in particular.

I hate kids trainers. There, I said it. I know, I know – they’re practical and sensible and necessary. But I’m sorry – they’re ugly.

WIN £150 to spend at BrandAttic.com!

I’ll admit it – I hadn’t actually come across Brand Attic before. But now I have… I *love*. I love the idea behind the name; when you venture into your attic, you’re surprised by what you find. Venture onto their site because you were lead by one item of clothing you saw somewhere,  browse the range, and read their brand story – and like magic you find a brand that seems as though it was specifically made for...
