Ethical Design Spotlight: Nancy Dee
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these spotlights. To be honest nothing was inspiring me that much. But yesterday I had a press release for Nancy Dee drop into my inbox. I popped off to her website, and found it full of pretty retro style dresses, all made out of stretchy, comfortable…

Dress Me Up, Dress Me Down.
Frankly it feels a bit weird writing this today. Yesterdays blazing sunshine has given way to grey skies and curl dampening downpours of the kind I had almost forgotten existed in the tropical paradise England seemed to have become. Yesterday, however, was glorious, and I headed off to pay a visit to the Norwich Lanes…

Going Clip Clippety Clop on the Stairs – Clogs
I hate Clogs. I’m sorry but these are just ugly. I had a pair in the late 90s and having seen pictures of myself in them has made me realise I looked a lot like a golf club and should really never be seen in a pair again. I thought I’d get used to them…

What Are You Wearing? It's All About the Hair and Accessories
You don’t need a huge wardrobe of amazing clothes. Sometimes it’s all about the hair and accessories. With temperatures heading up toward the 30 degrees mark at the weekend I wanted something cool and comfortable to do, um, nothing much, really. Dinner, a drink by the river and more drinks in some of my favourite…

My Favourite Flowers
My favourite flowers are, without a shadow of a doubt, Sunflowers and Daisies. I love their big nodding heads, that look impossible to support on those tall stems and the black, yellow and white colours that just scream Summer when framed against a vivid blue sky. Summer florals are supposed to be delicate, whimsical and…

5 minutes of nice weather and I like to convince myself England has actually become Hawaii If only my garden WAS in Hawaii, but it’s not, it’s in Norfolk. Mr Chicks vegetable growing has been a great success this year though, can you see those peas? That means lovely fresh peas with tonights dinner, if…

The Lazy Girls Guide to Looking Like a Million When You Feel Like 20p
I’m feeling a little delicate this morning. A little too much celebration after Englands win yesterday afternoon means I’m trying not to type too loud. So, on a morning like this, one where I have to face the world while not feeling (or looking) my very best, I’m in need of a few props to…

We're Gonna Rule the School…..
Do you recognise the title of this post? If not you need to immediately purchase and watch a copy of Grease. Seriously, it’s only £3, you really should. I can remember very specifically the first time I saw Grease. It was the late 80s, and the Summer Club I went to in the holidays (The…

What Are You Wearing? A Little Bit Sporty and a Product Review
A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Very.co.uk and asked if I would like some free clothes. To be honest, that probably comes a close second to asking me if I want free beer. I’d never looked at the site before, as I rarely shop on catalogue sites or the High Street, so…
