Hello Valentine: Marks and Spencer

29th January 2014
For the first time ever I’m embracing the Valentines themed posts; sorry to those of you who ignore the day but it’s the first time I’ve ever really felt like acknowledging it and to be honest, the tasty treats I’m sharing today from Marks and Spencer are perfect as a little pick me up to you, from you.
I’m a bit of an addict to Marks and Spencer food, I’m glad I don’t actually live near a store as I’d be forever broke. These little treats won’t cost the earth though and look pretty delicious!
Heart Lollipops- £1.50 each. I’ve seen this in store and they look almost too good to eat!
Heart Shaped Mallows- £3.00
Chocolate and Raspberry Cakes- £2.00
I also couldn’t resist popping in this little beauty- strictly non-edible but still worth a mention.
This is not just *any* Valentines, eh?

Hello Valentine: Lola & Grace

25th January 2014
Lola & Grace have fast become one of my favourite brands for jewellery since discovering them via twitter. Their 2014 Valentines collection is an absolute showstopper and I couldn’t resist sharing it with  you in case you wanted to drop some hints or treat yourself (after all, we should love and spoil ourselves).
Crystal Heart Pendant – £24.90
Long Stud Heart Pendant – £44.90
Crystal Heart Set – £44.90
Pavé Crystal Heart Set – £49.90
The collection will be available from Lola & Grace stores and online
I suggest leaving this page open on your browser for your true love to see! I own a couple of pieces from Lola & Grace and they truly are stunning, even the simpler designs make a statement and if I wasn’t on a self imposed shopping ban until April I’d be ordering the Crystal Heart Pendant for myself.

Valentines at Rigby & Peller (send this to the man in your life!)

03rd February 2012


I wasn’t going to do any Valentines themed posts, not that I don’t believe in love or I’m not romantic…I just don’t really feel you need a day dedicated to telling someone you love them, that should be everyday!

But I’m fickle, and an e-mail from my friends at Rigby & Peller made me change my mind…

Premium lingerie specialist, Rigby & Peller, is adding a touch of chic style this Valentine’s Day. With 80% of the UKs women wearing the wrong sized bra and a third avoiding the purchase*, embrace the opportunity to spoil the lady in your life with the ultimate Rigby & Peller treat. Rigby & Peller’s lingerie stylists are on hand to help you find the perfect lingerie for your partner this Valentine’s Day.


1. Aubade Boite a Desir Trikini, £75

2. Rigby & Peller Alondra in Navy, £110

3. SP Divin in Candy Apple Red, £120

Rigby & Peller’s Creative Director, Nicky Clayton, offers the following tips for successfully selecting the perfect gift this Valentine’s Day:

1. Take a look in your partner’s lingerie drawer – You will be able to gauge her favourite colours, giving an indication of what colour lingerie she would like to receive.

2. Don’t forget style – Style is just as important as size. Purchase something pretty, feminine and sexy as women generally don’t find practical bras romantic.

3. Outerwear is as important as underwear – Take note of what she wears most. Does she prefer tight clothing, deep necklines or loose clothing? Rigby & Peller’s friendly lingerie stylists will be on hand to help advise on the best choices to create the perfect silhouette.

4. Still unsure? – Still spoilt for choice or unsure, give the lady in your life a gift vouchers treating her to the infamous Rigby & Peller fitting experience. Alternatively, speak to one of the lingerie stylists who will be able to talk through what you’re looking for and guide you in the right direction.

To purchase a gift and view Rigby & Peller’s collections please pop into one of our six stores located in and around London in some of the most prestigious shopping locations including Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Chelsea, Westfield, Cambridge and Bluewater or visit www.rigbyandpeller.com.

V is For

14th February 2011

Happy Valentine’s Day folk. I’m not a big believer (or indeed really a believer at all) in the day but at the same time it’s kind of nice to show some spirit and spread some love around. I owe a lot of people a lot of thanks, so I want to use this day to say THANK YOU. All of you.

Decided to cheese it up outfit wise and go for hearts galore. As far as my wardrobe allows. This involved the re-discovery of my heart print tights which I thought I had lost (turns out they were buried deep beneath my now 80-odd other pairs)

Skirt, Zara. Blouse, Next. Tights, New Look. Boots, New Look.

And some details.

I’m overwhelmed by the massive response to my giveaway! Wow, if you haven’t yet entered there is still LOADS of time, just click on over.

Today the sun is shining and I am heading in to town to meet up with my beautiful friend Becca for a LONG overdue catch up that will involve Christmas present swapping…that’s how long overdue we are!

Have a wonderful day whatever you do, and however you celebrate it.

And remember, you don’t need a day to feel loved. You are ALWAYS loved.
