North, South, East, West – These London Shops Are The Very Best For Last Minute Christmas Shopping
Addicted to the thrill of last minute Christmas shopping? Me too! I figured out a long time ago that the lazy and unmotivated Christmas shopper can pass herself off as the Queen of Thoughtful Gifting, as long as she confines her in-store shopping to those genius retailers who pack a small floor-space with a staggering array of products, […]

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 […]
