As some of you will no doubt be aware from my previous handbag-based posts, I’m not particularly good at packing. Whether it’s a suitcase, weekend away bag, sports bag or handbag, I have a horrible habit of bringing along way too much stuff. I just like to be prepared, ok?  But this past weekend G and …

If you’ve been reading this here blog for a wee while, you’ll know that I suffer from some serious issues with blemish-prone skin.

Having spent years working my way through an endless supply of high street bags that inevitably fell apart after a couple of years’ use, I’ve begun investing in a few (like two) high end handbags that I hope will serve me for many …

As some of you may have seen from my Twitter account, I’m off to Paris bright and early this morning for a flying trip to the French capital with the lovely ladies at Claire’s. It’s a super speedy visit – we’re jus there for the night – but we’re cramming in quite a lot of …
