Looking Back For Future Inspiration

The Pocket Exhibition ends on the 2nd of Sep '07, showing a wide display of historical pockets.

Roam free from December the 2nd

On Saturday the 2nd of December Oxford Street will be traffic free so you can roam around in a xmas dream. To top it off if you visit shops (from 11am) such as Gap, House of Fraser or Penhaligon's you'll be treated to complementory manicures or beauty makeovers. What a great day out!

Keep those knees warm

I have so many difficulties with tights.... the crotch can be too low or too tight or the legs are too long etc, etc.. But I bought some tights recently (as it was about time I invested in some new ones!) and I was really suprised. A quick last minute purchase for a night out has led me too some great tights!
Try Fred and Florence at Tesco for a pack of 3 Opaque black tights (40 denier) at £3.50. Apparently they have a temperature control finish that keeps you warm when your cold and vice versa. I just thought they felt very smooth, soft with a nice sheen. Not your thick Granny tights! I bought medium but they came in small, large and xtra large.

The 11th Wonder of the world!

Wonderbra have created something every girl has ever dreamed of, at least me anyway.
A bra that can be worn 100 ways. The Multi Plunge Bra has straps that can be moved around the edges of the cups to match any dress you have ever owned! It is now available Nationwide in black for the small cost of £26. Imagine how much use you'll get out of it, lets hope they bring it out in more colours. This will definitely be on my xmas list.
