Candy Floss

Every season there is a new spectrum of nail colours which somehow becomes instantly adorable and wonderfully fashionable.

It’s equally [...]


Hoopla!

If you’re anything like me, the problem with gym is not the work involved – it’s the boredom.  Is there anything worse staring at a blank wall and listening to bad dance music whilst going for a spin on the bike?

Happy Friday

Cameron Diaz has been seen in a different light lately. She posed for the cover of V Magazine in a Madonna inspired photo-shoot.

Online v In Store
