Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:26:28 +0000

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 19:18:25 +0000

Yesterday I ran errands at the Royal Exchange. Travel-sized Jo Malone Perfume for me (not a bargain), Tiffany charm for a new baby (definitely not a bargain). Then, walking past the afternoon coffee (not Champagne) clutch, I noticed the Paul Smith Sale Store.

In celebration of SheerLuxe.com's latest competition (to win THE It Bag of the year – Mulberry’s new Shimmy), we thought we'd take a look at that which inspired the term 'It'. The original It Girl.

Designer Duds for Dosh

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:03:36 +0000

A Great Mall, or the Greatest Mall?

Sun, 02 Nov 2008 21:06:38 +0000

We decided spur-of-the-moment to go to Westfield on the third day it was open. Given the crowd, it looked like a bad decision until we pulled into the parking garage and stared in awe at the cavernous floor of spaces marked by lights - green if the space was open, red if it was filled.
