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 don’t really [...]
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 yes, even [...]
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 Perkins [...]
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 8 [...]
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 is [...]
Lavender Blonde
I love that lavender blonde / The way she moves / The way she walks
I am as vain as I allow / I do my hair / I gloss my eyes
Oh my gosh! How awesome are these dolls? These Barbies were created (created? amended?) by Veik, who prefers to refer to himself as a “doll [...]
A Storm In A Teacup
A cup of imaginary voyage – <3
Despite popular belief, I’m not obsessed with tea. Although if I were, wouldn’t these be perfect for me?
Pretty purses and cups by Orla Kiely, from the Pod Company (one of my favourite shops in Clifton Village!)
This is a stool apparently, from Mocha, only £140 (!)
Oh come on, you should [...]
Mulberry for Apple
There are a few shops that the Wife’s husband* has banned us from (or at least tries to ban us from going into).
The first one is Hobbycraft, of course, especially after the wedding because we had no real need to go in there (Ever had an arguement over what thickness card to buy? Or [...]
Oops, Spangles
One of the problems with working on the Triangle in Clifton is that I’m very close to some of my favourite shops (JoY, Borders and Cath Kidston to name a few). Another problem is that since Cabot Circus opened, more stores in Broadmead and Cabot Circus are open until 8pm. This turns out to be [...]
My Saviours
These shoes are amazing. I’ve had this particular pair for about a year, and they’ve saved my feet from immense pain more than once.
These shoes are folding shoes, and are so comfortable after a day (or night of course!) wearing heels. Of course, you can get folding shoes in quite a few places now, but [...]
