Last week, I popped along to the launch of a new booze-related venture – a website called 31DOVER. It sells an array of wines, spirits and premixed cocktails, with the focus heavily on high quality, personalised customer service. The site is ‘run’ by a character called The Barman, who is a bit of a rogue…

Bright Young Gin
I don’t often write about perfumes on here… in fact, I can’t ever remember doing so before. I have never been concerned with ‘vintage’ scents – I actually quite intensely dislike some of the more famous old names like Shalimar and Chanel no. 5. On myself at any rate – No. 5 smells amazing on…
Thrilling filler
Over two weeks… some sort of record I think! I’m having a bit of a funny old 2011 so far. There’s so much going on behind the scenes that I’m unable or unwilling to blog about, and I just can’t seem to find the subjects or the enthusiasm to dream up entertaining things, nor am…
Winter footwear & a final party plug
I sometimes curse my parents for feeding me so much fluoride and calcium as a child. While it’s lovely to be strapping, strong and healthy, I never had any chance of having lovely, dainty feet. If I’d been around in the 1940s, aside from all the other drawbacks mentioned in my earlier post, I’d have…
Partying like it’s 1935
‘Tis the season to be jolly… drunk on gin and champagne. Attending two rather splendid parties in a week, first the Chap Magazine‘s second Grand Anarcho-Dandyist Ball, closely followed by the New Sheridan Club‘s Back To The Futurists Christmas Party, has left me feeling rather in need of a detox. But, oh! What fun they…
Here, There and Everywhere
You’ll have to forgive me for being something of a bad blogger, because I am about to unleash a double catchup post upon you. Each of these events I’m going to document deserves its own post, but since I’ve been whirling about like a dervish recently, and it doesn’t seem set to calm down much…
Booze, Glorious Booze! Part 1
Hello everyone and welcome to this well and truly overdue update! I’m so glad everyone loved the Fleur dress as much as me. Shona and I have some new fabric variations coming up, so stay tuned, especially if you fancy something darker for autumn! This week, however, I’m not talking about frocks. I am talking…
A catch-up in pictures – Part 1
Well despite my best intentions and empty, hollow assurances, the time between my updates is getting bigger and bigger! Still mad with work all day in the week, and spending weekends with le chap so it’s passing me by at a rate of knots. So here’s a pictoral update of the last fortnight and a…
