Dorothy Perkins – Cheetah T-shirt – Eagle T-shirt – Panda T-shirt – SS09
Jan 20, 2009 Dorothy Perkins, fashion
I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of Dorothy Perkins SS09 range – it looks awesome, full of beautiful prints and stunning retro inspired dresses… however, it’s yet to arrive, so today I consoled myself by drooling over their new range of endangered animal print T-shirts!
These stunning T-shirts include a Panda print, Cheetah and Eagle and are available in green and yellow. My favorite Dorothy Perkins print is the Yellow Drape Cheetah T-shirt, which would look great with a pair of indigo jeans and Converse trainers.

I feel compelled to write about a genius device that I read about in the Sunday Times Home suppliment; the Maytag MDE110AES Drying Cabinet from John Lewis. Set to revolutionise how we dry dry our clothes, the Maytag Drying Cabinet has three different drying settings and various hangers, racks and prongs – equil to 16 metres of washing line. Added bonus – because it doesn’t tumble clothes, fabrics wont get damaged or shrink! You can dry almost anything it the Maytag Drying Cabinet, form wellies to coats and cashmere!
I think John Lewis is the only retailer currently selling the cabinet, which is priced at £628 pounds – but it won’t be long before others discover this awesome device. Sure to be a popular choice in modern homes; start saving for your Maytag Drying Cabinet now! Visit John Lewis to view this item.

Review Batiste Dry Shampoo – Look Magazine – GM.TV
Look Magazine featured it in their ‘credit crunch chic’ article and some American bird was singing its praises on GM.TV this morning, so I thought a quick review of Batiste Dry Shampoo was in order! With an average price tag of £1.99 I’ve been a fan of Batiste Dry Shampoo for a good few years, as Look Mag said, it’s a ‘handbag essential’.
Quick and convenient, simply spray Batiste Dry Shampoo on your hair in-between washes to refresh lank and greasy locks. It smells fresh and flowery and I find it great to use if you want to put your hair in an ‘up-do’ without washing it (which will inevitably create fly-away hair!) Available from Amazon for £1.75, it’s a must-have!

Seeing Red
Nov 1, 2008 fashion
Classic, sumptuous and sexy, red has always been a great colour to wear. For the past couple of seasons it has been a popular trend, re-invigorated this week with the news that we should replace our Little Black Dress with a Little Red Dress – as red provokes an amorous effect on men. Studies from the University of Rochester revealed that men regard a woman wearing a red dress, as better looking and more desirable! Furthermore, men seem to be especially generous to a lady in red and more willing to blow the budget, showering her with lavish gifts and expensive meals!
So if like me, you’ve recently found yourself ‘treated’ to a 2 for 1 meal at Pizza Express…grab yourself a racy number and you might just find yourself progressing up to Gourmet Burger!
Bond girl Olga Kurylenko sported a beautiful, red Valentino gown at the premiere this week – a cheeky twist were the irresistible ‘un-wrap me’ bows on the back of the dress… and in keeping with her sass, I’ve tracked down a jaunty little number from Miss Selfridge. The Red Strapless Fringe Dress is a show-stopper! This duel trend dress is an ideal cocktail number for those pre-Christmas drinks…just imagine the fun you could have with those tassels!
If you’re looking for something a little edgier why not try Urban Outfitters Renewal Plain Mini Zip Dress, combining two key trends, red and exposed zips – a prevalent look on the catwalks for A/W. The Renewal range at Urban Outfitters takes vintage dead stock and surplice materials to create one-off, limited pieces. So, whilst the cut remains consistent, material and colour may vary slightly – ensuring each dress is completely unique. Well worth the £55 price tag!
So come on ladies – show us your zips!
