In no way were heels designed for real life. Heels would be just so much more manageable if we each had a cohort of foot soldiers to lift us from home to restaurant table to bar stool to club stool and then back into bed again. 7 Stages of Wearing Heels on a Night Out: […]
The original bridesmaids were servants or slaves rather than social equals according to the Book of Genesis which is more than enough to give prospective bridesmaids a ‘no’ feeling before they’ve even seen the coral dress, however, these days it is an honour (and with the invention of Prosecco cocktails) much more fun to attend […]
Ah, Toast you’re a cruel mistress. Toast is like the yawn of the food world, once one person’s at it, everyone wants a piece of toast. Though who can stop at just one??? Just getting a little whiff of that toasty toast scent in the nostril area can spark a toast frenzy of grotesque and […]

After years of striving for smokey eye success I have identified my tried and tested, perfect steps to failing to achieve that perfect smokey eye look.

Sometimes I think The Men will never understand our wardrobes. Any kind of ironic clothing always usually […]

And it’s not always just me and the vagina arguing […]
I technically became a teenager in 1997 so I don’t want anyone getting too pedantic on timelines here. The late nineties and early-noughties were virtually inter-changable, at least in that the main style directive appeared to be simply ‘let’s all try to look as hideous as possible here and not make it out of adolescence without […]
Babysitting your friends’ kids is the single greatest gift you can give a pal. But Jesus at what cost? Between the tantrums, the complicated bedtime routines, the fact that they NEVER go to bed anyway and the constant fear of breaking them, it’s a stressful old Saturday night for you. Still she’ll be eternally grateful […]
We always feel so optimistic about Sunday. Sunday is the day we will prep all our protein and plant filled lunches for the coming week. We will get out for a bracing walk and then go for brunch in our activewear. On Sunday night, it’ll be early to bed after an ambitious skincare regime that […]
