Sale is now on at What a Girl Needs…Hurry whilst stocks last…

Happy Shopping!!

Oh gosh, what is going on with this weather….it’s official….I can’t cope…what is one supposed to wear….am I the only person on the planet who packs her summer wardrobe on 1st September never to be seen again until at least 1st April…

And the followinging things are also a nightmare:

I have already changed my duvet to winter one
Having a barbecue this weekend but can’t find any disposable barbecues
Haven’t bought the new shade of Chanel nail varnish that I want so can’t get my toes out on show….

And worst of all I have run out of my St Tropez…

So …what does a girl do…. She keeps a low profile but nips into Cos this week and falls in love with a fab brown coat that is perfectly lightweight for this ridiculous weather but autumnal in colour and equally looks great with a roll neck and your winter woolies… And of course you can’t buy just one thing in there….so a little peruse later and I am kitted out for all eventualities…hurrah!!

So here’s to the end of our Indian summer but enjoy whilst you can..

PS. Teenager update…well she’s still there…and loving it all be it a little poorly this week and obviously missing me….well my credit card anyway, judging by the “can you just look at Topshop for a minute whilst we are on the phone…”

Ok - she’s home from her first week - little wobbly last night in a call but we seem to be back on track and didn’t draw breath when she got in the car so I think we’re going to be ok…and shock horror, managed to get the train without phoning me….but she did phone husband….But believe me that is progress…

Off to Paris Sunday to swan for a few days to look for gorgeous new things for WAGN and interiors at Maison D’Objet….

It’s not goodbye, but au revoir…

PS.  Husband just suggested that I might like to make him some ready meals for the freezer whilst I am away….Welcome to my life…x

Lovely lovely lovely!  That’s the only way to describe the new range from Me and Em this winter!!

We loved all the dresses from the Summer collection to the point of being postively obsessive, especially the Martini dress and now it comes in long sleeves too!  Just so easy and gorgeously comfy!!

But with MiH and Loft designs too, we couldn’t ask for anything more!!

In store now (and coming soon…..) xxx

PS - Teenager update….too busy to talk to me….xx

Ok - those of you who read this blog will know that Teenager has played a fairly big part in the blog over time even to the point of being allowed to air her views on New Season, Justin Bieber to name a few!

But today it was her time…..her time to spread her wings and leave the nest….off to the fabulous Hurtwood House to seek her fame and fortune ( which is great cos I am going to need some help with those school fees so the sooner the better I say!)

So here I am mourning the loss of said teenager to her sixth form fun and frolics and felt the need to list the pros and cons of this said departure…

Let’s start with the pros….

1. Her room will be tidy for 5 days out of 7….
2. Normal eating habits return and mushrooms can return to the menu…
3. No more school runs and “Mum I forgot my geography book can you just run it up here…”….yes I did do that….
4. The water bill will halve due to no more 3 hour showers…
5. I can listen to whatever radio station I want to in the car…

But I already know there are some cons…

1. I won’t get that continuous update on the gossip….
2. Now I only have Husband at home….
3. I can’t say “blend darling blend” on her way out of the door when looking at her makeup…
4. I can’t pontificate on Harry’s hair from One Direction…
5. And most importantly how will I know if Justin is still with Selina today…

But worse than that, she’s only been gone a few hours and I miss her already…

This is going to be harder than I thought..

Quite sad of OX10…..xx

Well we could lie and come up with all sorts of excuses and reasons but the actual truth is that we have been busy on lots of different things and making changes but all for the better!!

But we back in time for the new season and Autumn beckons and we have lots of new and yummy things coming your way!

But the Bosom Buttons remain a steadfast favourite with you all and new stock is on it’s way as we speak! So don’t panic!!

Buying season has begun so keep an eye out on the site leading up to Christmas!

And we will continue to bring you our favourite things to blog about so no worries there either!! So keep your press releases coming, your samples for us to coo over (and argue!)!!

It’s good to be back!! Xxx

Oh we do like a little vintage and even more so, we LOVE a bit of Halston!  Forget SJP and her pseudo nouveau range…(really don’t like that shiny silk….), we like the real deal!!

So it is so exciting to stumble across a website that we now love and feel the need to share - www.vintageseekers.com - ok you do have like the finer things in life to enjoy this site (swiftly translated into you need loads of spare cash!!) but it’s not all Alfa Spider cars and vintage rolex’s!!!  The fashion section is fab - we have our eye on a few pieces but it’s the green suede Halston dress that we want!!!  How yum is this!!!

And quite honestly it’s a snip at £285!! Size 12 in case you’re interested but hurry cos we have our eye on it….!!!!

Well folks we hear you shout where have you been????  Well I am happy to say we have been extremely busy in the run up to Christmas and we have taken a little break over Xmas and New Year but we are back and boy are we back with a Blogging vengeance!!!

So we thought we would start the New Year back  by sharing with you good people a small list of our favourite Xmas presents!  Now I don’t know if everyone is trying to tell me something but I did receive an unprecedented amount of face creams promising the world so I thought I would just list my top 3 and insist that there is some kind of miracle occurring on my face as we speak!!

So coming in at No 3 is Dr Brandt’s Collagen Booster - now this baby is good….

Chasing it’s heels though comes our new favourite brand (ok we’re late jumping on board) but Liz Earle’s Smoothing Serum - love it!

But my total favourite brand of all time (well this week) is Rodial and the Glamtox serum is one mother of a serum!!!

So I am now converted - Rodial is my new best friend and so much so, that as I have become a big fat lump over the festivities, I have felt it necessary to order in the Rodial Crash Diet smoothies AND the sticks!!!

Now it will be necessary for me to come back to you on  this subject when I have turned myself into a person the size of this stick!!!

All I can say to myself is “good luck with that!”

Oh my….my mascara is ruined, my head almost hurts and it’s only Monday night….no I haven’t  been on the lash as they say… but 8.30pm on Monday nights on BBC2 has got me hooked!

Miranda makes no sense…but she does make me howl… it’s wrong on every level…I shouldn’t find it so funny to laugh at someone’s own self deprecation but I think I find it so funny because she almost touches a nerve with me…I know there are just elements of myself in there that actually scare me….and if I was Heather Small, I would relish in my new found fame!!! Surely there’s a cameo in there somewhere….

It’s wrong….but so right….love it!!

Does that work?? Not really but if you book in the hotel below, it’s just too tempting to say that….

Check this out… now I love a bit of interior design as we all know and love nothing more than a bit of themed hotel but this baby takes centre stage and it just  happens to be in my favourite city ….Paris!!

Oh my gosh…. The 007 Suite at the Seven Hotel, Latin Quarter, Paris….. purple walls, a curve on every piece of furniture and a tv loaded up with all the Bond movies….how mad is that!!! Dig deep and you’ll find your inner Ursula….

Well won’t be your cheapest hotel to date but how much fun… mmmm and I wonder if it comes with Daniel Craig….maybe not…but just remember to do a sweep before you get going, just in case M is watching….xxxx
