New Year , New you 'Letts' get organised

Yes we have finished Christmas , in need of a good lie down and mince pie.
However New Year is just around the corner !

My New Years resolution is to get organised and I have started by getting a diary .
Not only will this help organise you but it will keep track of life's important events .

My favourite diary of the New Year is this Iguana mini pocket diary from Letts .

The Iguana  diary has lots feel appeal with a textured reptile print .It comes in a midnight blue colour  and a raspberry pink colour . My personal favourite is the raspberry because It goes with most of my bag wardrobe !

It has sparkling silver page edges and a gorgeous ribbon page marker to help you plan your year in style. It's small size is ideal for fitting in clutches, pockets and purses .

Order from Letts quickly as being New Year they will be off the shelves in no time !

Commando Beanies - Must Have Winter Accessory

 Commando beanies are a must have for the ski season , these super warm cosy and on trend hats will definitely  keep your ears toasty and brighten your outfit on dark snowy day.

I love these Beanies for their sheer simplicity because they go with everything and you can't go wrong with a beanie !

They also come in some really nice colours my favourite is the purply blue one .

Commando was formed as a Young Enterprise company, selling the latest and hottest beanie hats and I think that they have done an amazing job.

You can buy these gorgeous beanies from the Commando website . They would make a great girly gift as well as a must have winter accessory.
 
 
 
 
 

Skiing - essentials for packing

So I'm jetting of tomorrow skiing in the alps . You won't here much back I suspect but I promise to comeback with loads of new topics , fur clothing and reindeer antlers.

Below would be the top items in my suitcase. If Chanel put skis on the market for the whole of the public !


Chanel snow boots, skis and helmet, Fendi ski boots and a Moncler jacket make for a pretty expensive ski kit, especially when you add the One Piece onesie and Juicy Couture jumper for chilling by the fire in the Chalet. Yeah, it’s all very attractive, and will be immediately recognisable when you’re posing in the queue for the gondola, but I’m not entirely sure most skiers will be concerned with your threads and equipment when you’re (expertly) sailing down that black mogul field in a Snow storm. So I had a little look around, and managed to find kit that doesn’t break the bank but still looks pretty cool.



Topshop, Helly Hansen and Oakley are still brands that are fairly expensive, but to a certain extent, you get what you pay for with ski wear. But, in the same way that you can find the money for a bikini for every day of your week-long beach holiday, buying thermal longjohns and padded jackets is just one of the necessary costs associated with a snow holiday. The above items are still a reflection of your impeccable sense of style, but their focus is more on practicality and affordability. And with those purple ski trousers, your friends definitely won’t lose you on the slopes easily!

(Monica ,Genren and Staze ) please don't lose me.

What is the point of perfume adverts ?

I understand that "smell-o-vision" technology has not yet been created so please make this a perfume advert because I honestly don't believe that If I buy Irresistible by Givenchy that some gorgeous Italian man will come chasing after me.

Filmed in black and white, a starved woman with artificially immaculate hair and airbrushed make-up gets into her boat wearing stilletos and sunglasses in the middle of the night when her coat just falls off and she has no back to her dress. Then her hair sweeps and she looks sensually at the camera , meanwhile the boat drives itself and she looks blankly at the camera. Then she looks so hungry that she might eat the camera man.

What sincerely worries me about these adverts is that somebody has actually written them! I imagine a board room scene with a team of marketing experts, brain storming ideas on how to create the perfect advert that will show the scent without actually smelling it.

"Black and white...make sure it's black and white. Yeah get that guy from that film, and that director....the French guy that made that film that won those awards. Urmmmm what should we call it? Something that says success, class, elegance and creates nice imagery. Cool water? Fluid Iceberg? Pour Monsieur? Yuppie por homme? or very irresistible Guys we've done it again!"

JuJu Wellies

To add to my many posts about wellies , here is another.

As many of you readers know , I am an avid collector of wellies . Living in the countryside, alot of my social life involves wellies so buying a new pair of wellies is equally important and buying a new pair of shoes.


I am constantly on the look out for funky and original wellies and these JuJu wellies come into this category . JuJu sell wellie ankle boots ! I think that these would be ideal for dog walking in the sunshine , perhaps not through boggy fields though as your toes might get a little wet.

These boots would also be a stylish and waterproof alternative to riding boots and I am definitely going to be wearing these next time I go hacking ! I think that these should have been part of the Olympic Show jumpers attire as they are so stylish , but maybe a little too on trend for the Queen.

These revamped takes on traditional Chelsea boots are sophisticated (the black pair) and they are fun so these are added to my Christmas list this year , what about you ?

They are £29.99 from most retailers. Find these fabulously fashionable boots HERE .
