HtCC: GiGi Vintage

Let me tell you a secret. I hate vintage shopping. I’m not really a fan of most kinds of clothes shopping to be honest, with snotty shop assistants implying you can’t afford a £10 top so why the hell are you cluttering up their shop with your unsightly presence (Is that just me then? Oh.) [...]

The Topshop’s New Clothes

As you’ve probably already seen, Topshop have recently had a lovely redesign. It’s the sort of design that I love – sleek, minimal and lots of space everywhere. It just seems a lot easier to find a product that you like the look of. The new product pages are quite nice too – although they [...]

Best Haul Video Ever

I’ve never quite understood the whole “haul” video thing. I’m not really into vlogging at all, but haul videos just seem a bit too showy, showing off the latest purchases of make up and clothes. I switch off most blogs after a minute, because it seems odd to be watching someone talking to a screen. [...]

Bands and Keys

If you’re in Bristol this weekend, and looking for something to do, why not check out the Topshop Bandstand Picnic on Sunday? On the 13th June, Castle Park Bandstand in Broadmead will be taken over by Topshop with sports day games, face painting, roller skates and a few bands. Performing at the event will be Charlotte Hatherley, [...]

Step On Poo

As many people know, and some people complain about, I am a massive fan of shoes. Even if, because of my bad back, I am relegated at the moment to wear hideous orthapedic looking flats. This makes me sad, especially when I think about the beautiful heels I could be wearing. However, even with the [...]

Life In Plastic, Its Fantastic

So maybe you remember me writing about how you could influence the next profession for Barbie (here’s the link if you need a reminder) What a shock. You put a poll on a website and say “Hey geeks! VOTE NOW ZOMG”. Sure enough, the next Barbie is going to be a computer engineer. OK, I [...]

The Vendetta Against Slankets

I’ve been biting my tongue (yeah, OK Zoe, not really) on this item for a while, but enough is enough. Slankets. These are possibly the worst thing, fashion wise, since Ugg boots, since rah hair (seriously, I DO NOT understand this trend of looking like you’ve been having lots of fun in a hedge) and [...]

My Favourite Shop

This post was written by my BFF Helen over on her blog – here. She let me repost it because, well, she’s bloody amusing. Everybody has their favourite shop, Oasis, Warehouse, Topshop, well mine is New Look. Yes I’ll browse round the others, spend vouchers in Oasis and get work tops on offer in Dorothy [...]

Quacker Factory

One of my best friends (aka The Wife) has a “slight” addiction to that purveyor of crap, QVC. (She says “slight”, I say not being able to sleep unless QVC is on in the background is slightly insane) I personally love QVC – I remember watching it for the first time when I was about [...]

PSA: Leggings Are Not Trousers

I think I should begin this by saying I love leggings. They are soooo comfortable, and after a week of wearing structured skirts, blouses and high high heels for work, its so nice to put a pair of leggings and a big jumper on and laze on the sofa watching crap. (Yes, I realise this [...]
