Santa Hats… Yes I said Santa in July.

In a blog that may be more annoying than hearing a Mariah Carey’s crimbo tune mid summer, we are going to have to mention the C word. It’s the 17th July and there are 160 days until Christmas.  There, I said it. So, on that note, we currently have a great offer on our santa … Read more

Imaginary Christmas

Christmas does feel like an imaginary kinda time, so I thought it only appropriate that the season should be marked, not just with hairy silver tinsel, twinkly lights and too much Cliff Richard, but also with an imaginary outfit. I am drooling over this one, more than ever. I’m not sure how glamorous Christmas is where, and if, you celebrate it – it’s not so glam in my ‘hood, but I think there is a little bit more attention paid to clothes and general tidiness.

Would you ever wear?

In January things can get a little heavy. The snow has stirred up some post-Christmas stress, everyone feels calorie dense, the resolutions didn’t really ever get going and it’s still really cold.

But (fortunately) what it actually signifies is: Star In The Hood.

Alex Mabille has created this incredibly … Read more

How to be the Hostess with the Mostess

There’ll be mistletoe hanging around, you’ve got to look your best. It’s party season, and though Nigella Lawson might be able to effortlessly carry off hosting a beautiful, candlelit, parmesan shaved party, it’s all a big fakie really. She has a TV crew to help out, is really good at rustling up a feast, and … Read more

Socks Appeal

Once upon a time, everyone used to get socks for Christmas, and everyone used to give socks for Christmas. Christmas became synonymous with ‘socks’ and because of this the sock ended up getting a bad reputation. Christmas gifts were too predictable, people were getting bored. Their toes might have been warm, but there was no … Read more

Festive Knits: Ho Ho Ho.

It’s just a few days into the advent calendar, but Christmas fever has already taken over. The lights are up, the fake snow machine is pumping out white flakes and Cliff Richard has begun infiltrating the airwaves. There are many festive frolics to be had, but perhaps the most festive and most frolicky of them … Read more
