Since I posted about Wanderlust this morning, I just had to get in a STYLE FAILURE as well. Yes, it still comes under BOOK STYLE, but for me personally, after reading this book about Vogue editor Anna Wintour, and needing to post about it, I really think she’s not as fabulous as people think. It […]
STYLE FAILURES: How one eBay seller destroyed my hopes and dreams
Not really, but they destroyed my hopes and dreams about this case. It was supposed to be a really gorgeous red quilted faux leather case with handle and lock, and on the inside it was for jewellery and bits and pieces. It arrived crushed and unusable I emailed the seller and they said […]

It seems to be a book week this week. I had very high hopes for this book. So many loved it, recommended it, declared love for it, but when I finally got it from my local library and started reading it, it disappointed me. I only got a third of the way through before being […]
STYLE FAILURES: Designer jewellery that does not live up to it’s hype. Or a decent lifespan!
I originally spoke about this Samantha Wills bangle in December of last year, and now, this is what has happened. This only happened last Saturday night. It was sitting on my jewellery doll and I picked up the bangle beside it, I heard a crack and a thud and when I looked I found it in […]
