Skin is a tempestuous being. You expect it to be fairly temperamental in your teens (though you're led to believe that Oxy will sort it) and then hope it will settle down by the time you reach adulthood, you surely can't get to 26 and still ha regular outbreaks? That's just not on. And I'm not talking about those minuscule time-of-the-month chin ornaments but raging pustules and spots that make you consider calling in sick.

If you own a house then you have free reign to do whatever you may want with it. You can paint the walls black with orange spots if you like, or replace the carpet with Astroturf. It is your place, your belonging, and noone can dictate how you choose to decorate it. If you live in a rental property like I do, however, then you will no doubt be very familiar with the restrictions of generally not being able to do as you please.

When I had the opportunity to preview the revamped Putney store (which is going to have a more feminine and boutiquey feel) before its grand opening tomorrow Saturday 6th February, needless to say I was keen!

Sounds like a cross between a heart attack and somebody's posh, drunk old uncle, right? While pretty high in fat, Roquefort is also so strong, that in a 4 person risotto, you don't need much more than what you might want to spread on a couple of crackers, and the cheese and wine scoffing uncle, well, he probably enjoys himself doing so.

Earlier this week, I found myself in the centre of some discussions on Twitter regarding what people think of burlesque. Until this point, I'd not actually asked anyone who wasn't my friend or already a fan of that particular form of cabaret, so the responses were almost always exactly the sort of thing I expected.

Following on from my high street vs designer copycat rants of late, I figured this might be a good choice to talk about when the high street gets it right. Here are six fantastic designer/high street collaborations which prove beyond any reasonable doubt that this way of doing things works. No need for copying, see?

A couple of days ago I stumbled across an article in The Guardian that made me choke a bit on my coffee. Then it made me laugh, then punch a cushion, then laugh some more, then stare blankly into space and fear for the future of humanity.The article in question is about a book called
