I ordered a load of lingerie from the brand Skims * because a) I had seen some rave reviews and b) my friend Rach, who is my personal style and trends barometer, had made an order and been really pleased with the quality of the items. You can now find Skims at Harrods *, Net-a-Porter

As part of my ongoing attempt to smarten myself up and streamline my wardrobe I have been trying out new fashion trends.

5 Festive Favourites: Christmas 2021

I’m clocking off for Christmas now, but not before I present you with this month’s favourites video.

5 Top Supermarket Beauty Buys

I went to a lovely beauty dinner organised by Sainsbury’s and it reminded that I was, at one point, doing some sort of supermarket beauty series.
