A Girl for All Seasons

While browsing for Christmas presents in Zavvi, I got slightly distracted in the book and magazine aisles.

Among my purchases of Step Up 2 on dvd, and a beautiful issue of iD magazine, I came across Camilla Morton's 'A Girl for All Seasons'. I've already read her girl's guide 'How To Walk In High Heels', and loved it, and with the recession bringing it down to a bargain price of £2.99... how could I resist?



I started reading on Christmas day, and have got to the February chapter now. It has things to do for each month of the year, important days and ideas to try. I would definately recommend this book for anyone that wants to try something new in 2009, and learn something new. I am now more well informed on the tales of Jane Austen, how and when to write the dreaded Christmas thankyou letters and even know how to make hot toddy.

While it's still roughly £12 on amazon.co.uk and other websites, get your fashionable self down to zavvi, make the most of the recession and see what bargains you can pick up!

Green Is The New Black

Tamsin Blanchard is officicially my favourite green goddess... a saviour to us fashionistas who want to be both fashionable and ethical. For those of you who haven't heard, her new book 'Green Is The New Black' is the green bible that we all need.

As an ex-magazine editor, she understands exactly how the world of fashion works. This little green book is full of anything and everything both fashionable and ethical, and even the foreword is by Lily Cole.

My favourite part of the book is the 'Little Green Book' at the back, an invaluable address list of all the eco stores and websites you could ever need - for anything!
And my favourite finds so far...
the eco friendly bag company, Matt & Nat - http://www.mattandnat.co.uk/, and http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/, which stocks almost anything you could ever need in fairtrade or organic.

There's loads of ideas for stuff to do, too... from growing your very own silk worm farm (different, I know!) to making an apron from curtains, to a knitting club.

Tamsin also has a blog,
