WHO CAN RESIST A VELVET BEAUTY?
I've bought these Topshop beauties for pretty much every one with Birthdays coming up soon. Easy to use as a hand bag, clutch or even make up pouch, Cheap AND in 4 different colours they are IRRESISTIBLE full stop.
THE SLEEP ROOM
A friend of mine posted a link to 'The Sleep Room' website on Facebook a while back so I took a look. Not only was I pleasantly surprised when looking at their website, our Marie Antoinette Bed that arrived the other day looks even better in real life... Their beds are sturdy, beautifully made and different. Sleep Room me up!

The 'Louis' - From £765

MAISON DU MONDE
Maison du Monde is the French equivalent of a middle way between our OKA and Ikea. (I'm sorry I can't be any more specific than that). Every time I am in France I make sure I pay a visit to see their things in the 'flesh' before ordering them online. They sell loads of cheap nick nacks as well as some lovely re-pro furniture (You have to sift through quite a bit to find it!)
I love this Beaumanoir Range...
Beaumanoir Wardrobe - £1200

FABRICS FABRICS??
Anyway, I thought I would start sharing anything I found with you but as I said, I am no expert so you might want to read on!
My mother sent me this website yesterday for inspiration for fabrics to use on some chairs and furniture I would like to cover. Most of it is much too expensive but worth a look for ideas all the same...
Brocatello Ciniglia in Grey and Gold
Lucini Velvet
Constantinople in Neutrals & Pink
Brocatello
All these fabrics are a little loud so just imagine them on one chair or table... Not over a whole room. What is great about the website is you can create your own 'schemes' label them, add to them, edit them etc.
Topkapi in Neutrals & Blues
Coqhuille Upholstery
Ottoline Weave Upholstery
Rapino Stripe in Pink & Green
SNEAK PEAK
I'm sorry that most of these Blog posts are completely Topshop orientated. I suppose I am a big fan and can't resist sharing the things I find with you. The funny thing about Topshop is their stock changes so quickly, if you don't snap things up, they're gone! Anyway, if you like me are a Toppie Junkie, take a peek at this preview of their Autumn Winter '11 Collection. Featuring New Mod, Glam Rock, Bavarian and Prim & Proper, there is something for everyone.

STRONG LOVE FOR COUNTRY STRONG
My wonderful friend Sophia emailed me months ago telling me I must go and see this new film Country Strong. Why I didn't follow her advice straight away is beyond me. It is just A.M.A.Z.I.N.G...
Gwyneth Paltrow plays a troubled country singing supersrtar while the film focuses on her comeback tour after a couple of stints in Rehab. Gossip Girls Leighton Meester plays 'Chiles' as well as super hottie Garett Hedland as 'Beau' who act as a June Carter and Johnny Cash kind of Love Act. Available to rent now, even if you're not Country Music Mad like me watch it watch it watch it. I haven't loved a film as much as this in forever.
Leighton Meester as Chiles
Mega Hunk Garett Hedland as Beau
Gwyneth Paltrow as Kelly
Country Strong Trailer
Available to buy on DVD next month...
Rated PG-13

LOVE FOR LITTLE CHEF
Tom and I were driving back up North late last night and couldn't quite facing stopping to buy food let alone cook it. As if my magic, amidst the rows as to who was going to have to cook, there was a sign for one of the new Little Chefs which has opened near York. Apart from not allowing Edie in (!!) I was more than impressed. The restaurant was clean, kitsch and actually quite cool, the service pretty quick and the food really was good (mine better than Toms). Scampi and Prawn Cocktail followed by Macaroni and Bangers 'n Mash (not together) satisfied our hungover Sunday appetite. I'll be stopping in at any Little Chef next time...
