Pink To Make The Boys Wink

The future's rosy {http://pavlyn.wordpress.com}

Last month Kate Middleton was spotted playing hockey in a pair of coral coloured jeans and ever since, the world has been potty for pink. From the catwalk to the high street, via Hollywood, fashionistas are desperate to follow in her fuchsia footsteps.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everybody loves biscuits. Big ones, little ones, square ones or round ones, chocolate ones and crumbly ones.

J.K. Rowling Was (Not) Here


Once upon a time there were two coffee shops in Edinburgh. In the first coffee shop, many years ago, J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter. In the second coffee shop, she did not. Every year, thousands of tourists from around the world flock to the first coffee shop to experience the magic. And every year, thousands of Edinburgh residents flock to the second coffee shop, to experience their own kind of magic - the best cup of coffee in the capital.

Lookbook, Line and Sinker

There's Something About Wendy {http://www.wendyslookbook.com}

About a fortnight ago, while browsing my favourite blogs, I discovered Wendy's Lookbook (www.wendyslookbook.com). Within minutes, I bookmarked her - the ultimate seal of online approval. Her blog is fast becoming one of my favourites and I recently decided she is simply too good not to share.

Bake A House A Home

This morning, I opened a Patisserie. It was nothing fancy - decorated with bay trees and a striped red awning, with just enough room inside for a delicious chocolate cupcake. Truth be told, my beautiful bakery was in fact a flat pack.

Shoe Be Doo Be Doo

Diamonds, Schmiamonds {http://lockerz.com/d/5163162}

Forget diamonds... high heels are a girl's best friend. Few things in life are as enjoyable as a new pair of shoes - their immaculate look, how they smell, the feeling you could give Heidi Klum a run for her money as you strut down the hallway catwalk feeling six feet tall.

They say April showers bring May flowers and we're already feeling a little Spring in our step. The days are getting longer, brighter and (slowly but surely) warmer, which is the perfect excuse to decorate our digits with these fabulous floral designs.
