*New* Nintendo 3DS Review – pre-release!

I love being a Nintendo Ambassador – we’re genuinely huge fans, and love the handheld consoles and the wii. But I do hit a slight issue when I’m reviewing. Because *whispers* I have never actually played on a 3DS. Or a DSi, or DS, or GBA either. So telling you how fabulous the latest incarnation is frequently baffles me. Thankfully, though, I do have a perfect solution, in the form of my home-grown Nintendo fanboy....

Beautiful Dresses – Win £100 Gift Card for BHS

Okay, hands up who has a wedding to go to this year? Yes, us too! To be honest, they’re always a bit of a topic in this house, being married to a wedding photographer, but we were just chatting last week about our own wedding a few (*cough* twenty) years ago. Back in the early 90’s you had two choices really – you either had the dresses made, or you got the bridesmaid dresses from the bridal shop along with your own...

Ice Skating in Dorset – we let it go at the Cool Coast Ice Rink.

Thanks to the Natural History Museum in December, the daughter has caught the Ice Skating bug. Even though she’s properly terrible at it, something about it really caught her imagination, and she’s badgered ever since to go again. Which we hadn’t done, because there simply isn’t an ice rink in Dorset – the nearest permanent rink to us is Swindon, almost 70 miles away. But I hadn’t thought about the...

Beautiful Evening Lace Wrap Dress for Tall Women

Woot; bring on Burns Night! Thanks to Long Tall Sally, I’ll be shaking a country-dancing leg in style. The Lace Wrap Dress is properly stunning, and I feel amazing in it. This was just me having a quick try-on, I’ve not even any face or hair on yet, and I’m ready to party! I’m not one that’s usually keen on a figure-hugging silhouette – even in my new slimlined version I’d rather there was...
