MAKING DRESSING A LITTLE EASIER

One of the easiest outfits you can wear is a dress. Throw a dress on and all you have to worry about is what shoes go with it…unlike a trouser/top combo which causes me many stresses in the morning before I even have time to have my decaf coffee. Marks and Spencer are a fail [...]

LETS GO SURFING…

I’m addicted to the web and I thought I’d add some of my favourite websites for you ladies… keepcalmgallery.com Keep calm and carry on. So, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Wake up and smell the coffee – and although he who dares wins, really, it’s what’s inside that counts. [...]

WHAT WILL 2010 HOLD FOR YOU?

Eco-nesting Home is still the focus of the next decade, for leisure and entertainment. This will be driven by the ‘green’ agenda: saving petrol, sourcing food locally, saving energy and stress, and taking pleasure in enjoying home surroundings. Womanomics The 45 plus group of women is the fastest growing in the population and, therefore, in [...]

THE BEST OF NEXT

Every season when I get the Next catalogue, I find it physically difficult to lift it with just one pair of hands! It gets bigger and must I say better each year. I like the fact that I sit in my arm-chair and pick an outfit, get it delivered to my door and try on [...]

KAFTAN COVER UP

I remember when the news hit that David Beckham had been wearing a Kaftan, styled by his Queen WAG, Victoria Jackson. I giggled as I thought about what a strange beach item for a man to wear. The next thing we’d know he’d be turning up in a sequin bikini, topped off with statement jewellery! [...]

TIME FOR THE SALES TO BEGIN

But when the weathers as horrible and dreary as this, who wants to be trudging the pavements with the Xmas shoppers, all pushing and grabbing [...]

FASHION THAT FITS YOUR LIFESTYLE

Im a massive fan of fifty plus, the website dedicated to the fab at fifty woman, fiftyplus has a large range of clothing that suits the older woman. The high street, I feel, has let down the woman over fifty with even shops that I could rely on in the past such as Next slowly [...]

MOTHER OF THE BRIDE

As a soon to be mother-of-the-bride I’m having a bit of trouble finding the right jewellery for the occassion. Having found the perfect dress and the even more perfect fasinator, all I need now is the right statement necklace. Something not too bling but powerful enough to make an impact. Im the sort of mother [...]

NOTHING BETTER

Called me old fashion but for me theres nothing better than climbing into fresh sheets on a cold winters night, sipping my coco and reading a dam good book (very into Terry Pritchard right now). To add to this delight I love to wrap myself up warm in some luxurious nightwear. Whilst browsing for a [...]

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

I came across the brilliant site partypop where there was a mixture of 50 year old birthday celebration ideas. Why not theme your birthday party around The Beatles or even a Wild West theme. This adds a little excitment to a birthday that some of us could dread. No doubt after listening to the Beatles [...]
