When it comes to eyes in the sunshine, I take no chances. Cheap imitations are all very well but you only get one pair of eyes and protecting them is key. People are too quick to buy any old plastic because it looks goods . I’d sooner but a fake watch than fake sunglasses. No harm done if it breaks. Continue Reading
When it comes to clothes, I’m a sucker for Mothercare. Cheap, great quality and a brilliant array of ranges to suit every taste, from the simple timeless to the funky 70’s styles and colour pop of Jools Oliver’s Little Bird collection. Every season I stock up on a selection for my little ones. Now, as Gabey is a toddler, I dabble in a bit of matchy-matchy dressing and put both boys in the same outfits. Continue Reading
Another year and another ski season, more and better skiwear. As those who know me well know, I’m an avid skier. Its the one sport that I still love and that I continue to practice as much as I can.

Looking for something that wouldn’t cost the earth – likely to be worn once – and somewhere that I could buy everything from in one go, I came across Roco Clothing. Supplying stylish formal wear for every occasion at reasonable prices, I ordered a suit each for my two boys. Suits come as a set with shirt and tie, waistcoat (didn’t use!) or bow tie, so no need to look to match everything yourself. Continue Reading
