Elemental Herbology Moisture Replenish Starter Kit – The Perfect At-Home Facial In A Very Pretty Box
Elemental Herbology has featured on my list: ‘brands that look good: research and find out more’ for quite some time now. Sadly, that particular list has to take a back-seat to the list of ‘overdue posts to write’, so I was very pleased when earlier this month I was given the Elemental Herbology Moisture Replenish Starter […]
“I’m A Good Girl I Am!” – So Take Me To The Flower Stall At Chanel Covent Garden
Q: What’s dainty, beautiful, smells like heaven, and has been brilliantly conceived and executed? A: The Flower Stall set up outside Chanel Covent Garden from Friday March 8th – Sunday March 10th, of course. CHANEL at Covent Garden have created a lovely Mothers’ Day promotion with the flower stall installation, that very appropriately marks their newly permanent status […]
T-T-T-T-T TopKase! The most effectual … TopKase iPhone cover review
“Just looked at @TopKase site – case seems to have a rolling shutter for your phone similar to a roll-top desk? If so, AMAZING!” That was the tweet I sent to TopKase that led to their lovely PR, Sophie, sending me a case to review. Why was I so excited about that rolling shutter? Two […]
Entertaining J.S. Sloane
“We have a room to spare as it happens Mr Sloane … just your style, I should hazard … elegant simplicity.” * For all but the bald, J.S. Sloane hair products will make the perfect gift for Valentine’s Day, or indeed any occasion on which the benevolent one wishes to be seen as generous, […]
There Was A Soaper, A Scottish Soaper
It’s Burns Night tonight! This has naturally turned my thoughts towards all things Scottish, but particularly Robert Burns himself. ‘Dirty Wee Rabbie‘ as my Grandad used to call him, in a warm tone that signified high approval of Rabbie’s philandering, kirk-bothering habits. I think the perfect way for me to celebrate Dirty Wee Rabbie is […]
Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting, But Saturday Afternoons Are Best Spent in BEAUTYMART
My trips to the posher parts of London are usually prompted by the desire to catch an exhibition. But Knightsbridge tube station is back on my radar, since BeautyMART set up shop on the third floor of Harvey Nichols. BeautyMART opened a mere few months ago, at the beginning of September 2012. I’ve made several […]
Wear You to Le Grand Bal
What do you like to do on New Year’s Eve? Do you go out? I tried that once, in 1988, and then again, about thirteen years later, just to see if I liked it any better. I didn’t. I like to stay home alone, except for one snoring child, and in the run-up to midnight […]
Have Yourself A Hulanicki Christmas
In the House of Beheld, the pile of gifts beneath the Christmas tree must ALWAYS contain books. An absorbing read does far more for your health than the satsuma in the toe of your stocking. The satsuma in the stocking is also a House of Beheld tradition. The rule is that it must fall to […]
One Ring(maker) To Rule Them All: Dower & Hall
As I write this post, we are careering towards Christmas at a rate of knots. Some smug and happy people have all their gifts chosen, wrapped and ready to go; others – don’t. But there is still time! And time for shopping to be a pleasure (as it ALWAYS should be) and not a chore. […]
Smells Like Teen Spirit
In the early ’80s I (and every other girl I knew) went to The Body Shop. I suspect that anyone between the ages of 9 and 14 must have a very under-developed sense of smell. It would explain why (to this very day) you can smell a Lush shop before you can see it. The […]
