Happy smiling family at home celebrating Christmas

  I’m going to be honest with you. After all, it’s what I do best (for those who are remotely interested!) Social media this month –more than ever-  is making me want to puke. We are talking the rare and proper, heaving kind of chunder (y’know, the cheap white wine kind?) And I think the place that is riling me the most right now is Instagram. Actually, I’ve stopped looking at altogether to be honest … Because let me tell you, If I see one more carefully composed flat lay of festive accessories paired with a cheeky seasonal Starbucks (being…

Happy Friday everybody! This week, a good friend of mine asked me to help her track down the perfect top for an occasion she has coming up this Christmas. It needed to be blue (navy or royal) , and ideally a halter neck in style (as she likes to show off her cracking shoulders!) Now you know what its like ladies, with zero spare time and very specific requirements, finding the ideal top in a sea of high street shops could end up taking some time and still result in finding nothing or having to compromise or change outfit plans altogether. Fortunately, I am basically…

  I killed a man, years ago. He was a Danish political and environmental activist fighting a one man war against the status quo of globalisation and dirty energy corporate muscle. His name was Jesper Rasmussen. He was, to be totally honest, an idiot. He missed the point constantly, made an arse of himself on a weekly basis and his inability to decipher the subtleties of information frequently had him barking up wrong trees and upsetting people. He was a walking disaster, all told. Yet, people had loved him. One person especially loved him and that person was my husband.…

  Meet Johnny*, Johnny Clash, who at 35 years of age, has spent more than a decade living abroad; travelling the world and dating every different nationality of female in existence. (He won’t confirm exact numbers for me, But I suspect its in the hundreds. Minimum!) Girls, its fair to say that Johnny is pretty confident he has our number. Fact. Consequently, trust me when I tell you that he has a thing or two to say about the fairer sex. In truth, this dude has a relentlessly honest opinion on everything, and I for one cant wait to read more from him … (and possibly disagree…

Happy Friday girls! Okay, its officially party season, so for this weeks Stylefinder post, I have found my favourite bits for December. Like everyone, I’ve got lots of nights out on the horizon – You know, not just out, but out out! and like most parents , I always have to rush myself ready super-quick around feeding the five-thousand, putting them to bed and reading more Mr Men than you could shake a stick at. So, it always pays for me to have some outfit combinations ready for quick action! This year, I’m not really feeling all the sparkly reds, golds and greens…

Happy Friday Girls! So, have you heard of Pepperberry? They are a sister company of Bravisimo and specialise in clothing for bigger busted women. Lets face it, if you are blessed up top, then trying to find clothing to fit can be a real pain in the shapely plump arse sometimes. With gaping buttons and over taught fabric threatening to blow at any time, this can often result in needing to go up one, sometimes two or three dress sizes. Talk about #firstworldproblems. I don’t want to go UP sizes … who does? We don’t need all that extra fabric everywhere else, Yet…

  Now then, this week I had promised a perfect Christmas day dress … But then these trousers came into my life, and frankly, Beautiful Christmas dress can wait until next Friday! These amazing trousers from French Connection are simple to pull-on and go. They are like super comfy thick leggings, but with the addition of a cheeky quarter-leg of genuine leather. Kind of like, three-quarter sensible/one-quarter badass. And personally, as a 35 year old mum of four, these are pretty much my ideal life ratios! as soon as I saw them, I knew they were the trousers for me.…

    I read a great book last year which raised to me the issue of arrogance in women; that we should embrace it every now and then. It really got me to thinking, and since reading it I cant help but notice the following – First of all, The definition of arrogance is as follows: To reveal an exaggerated sense of one’s own importance or abilities. Now let’s think about this for a second. Having a sense of ones own importance and abilities? … Well that’s a good thing, isn’t it? To be commended and celebrated, yes? it should…

  I’m currently trying very hard to find the precise words in which to explain the red Boden shoes in question; Trying to find language which will really help me nail my feelings towards them; to help you all understand my love for them. My deep, deep love for them. But I fear I am falling short … To be honest. I’m even considering some fairly hefty swearing in order to convey my current shoe induced emotional state. I mean other bloggers openly swear. So it should be fine? right? No. No, no. I will find the words to describe these heavenly, HEAVENLY…

  I was recently asked to try some Goats milk products from St Helens Farm and frankly, I was so impressed by the taste of everything that they sent over, that I wanted to find out and share with you some of the health benefits of going Goat. I am always interested in learning about improving our health through the food that we eat and was therefore well overdue a little lesson in Goats products. When you consider that goats milk is biologically closer to human milk than that of cows, and that its completely safe and nutritionally sound to give to your…
