It’s often said that getting ready is half as much fun as going out, but according to research released by hair care pros Goody, women spend the equivalent of two days every year getting dolled up for a night out. Now I love my glass of wine-drinking, mirror-hogging, makeup-applying pre-night out schedule, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t add up to that much.

Some say Christmas is for giving, but I’m going to be honest here and say that I like to receive gifts too, and the more the merrier!Santa came a little earlier than usual this month when I was lucky enough to be sent one of the hottest new beauty products in town, the Clarisonic skin cleansing system, which actually does what it says on the tin.

Vivienne Westwood and Anvil Knitwear have collaborated to create a limited edition T-Shirt to help support the efforts of rainforest nations at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen to stop deforestation.What many people, including myself, don’t realize, is that deforestation is responsible for approximately 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions – which is more than all the world’s trucks and cars combined. Never mind your canvas bags and eco-friendly light bulbs,...

At the winter Bust Craftacular, which took place in Bethnal Green last weekend, there was enough quirky jewellery to please even the most discerning of magpies. As well as old and well known favourites including Tatty Devine, quirky jewellery designer, Eclectic Eccentricity really caught my eye.

If you’ve ever been to Candy Cakes in Seven Dials you will surely have noticed the amazing store next door, Fifi Wilson. With two additional boutiques in Chelsea and Clapham, Fifi Wilson is not a shop that you can simply duck in and out of in five minutes!Yet despite loving Fifi’s wares with a passion, chances are you don’t exactly have all the time in the world to laze around shopping – especially this time of year when you (sadly)have to purchase things for other people. And this is...

Earlier in the week I rounded up a selection of my favourite frocks for office Christmas party season, but I’m well aware that not everyone wants to prance around in a spangly little cocktail number.

When I was a teenager, New Look was a place you could go to buy clothes that were less offensive that what your Mother might make you get from Asda, but not quite as cool as those from Topshop, which ten years ago, was a shadow of the fashion-forward, catwalk-gracing jugganaut it has become today.It may have taken a couple of years to catch up, but New Look, like other high street stores such as Miss Selfridge, has season upon season got better and better, each time reflecting not only...

The words ‘Office Christmas Party' quite rightly fill most people with dread. Even if you’re lucky enough to work people you actually like, there’s a difference between a couple of pints after work on a Friday and a thee course sit-down dinner, drinks and dancing with the entire office. Best deal with the facts up front: you will get drunk, you will say something shameful and you will wake up in the morning wondering if you were in fact sick on your boss or if that was a terrible night...
