Autumn

Now It’s November – Christmas Is Coming!

by RachelSwirl November 3, 2017
Now It's November - Christmas Is Coming!

The clocks have gone back, the nights have drawn in and there’s the subtle smell of chimney smoke wafting in the crisp, cool air. Christmas is creeping ever closer and unlike most years when I’ve just about finished my shopping by now, this year I’ve barely even begun! God knows why but I feel quite stressed about the seasonal shopping stuff at present, not only is everything so ridiculously expensive these days but our kids seem to have everything they need and more!

I'm An Autumn Girl

I may be an August baby but I’m far more of an ‘October girl’. Autumn is definitely my season, being a redhead I’ve always tended to favour the autumnal colour palettes especially in terms of fashion and beauty. That and I have a bit of a thing about leaves, they were the main theme of our wedding back in 2007 when everything from the dress, the suits, the tables, the stationary even down to the wrapping paper was covered in a leaf motif.

Super SuperDry Prices With Love The Sales

by RachelSwirl August 29, 2017

With the summer holidays coming to an end it won’t be long before I’m back on the school run come rain, hail or shine. Having worn my beloved ‘duvet style’ winter coat to within an inch of its life I am now on the hunt for a replacement to keep me warm and dry whilst out and about. I’ve never really been a lover of labels, I see very little point in becoming a walking, talking sandwich board for brands. However, there is one particular brand which has quietly crept into my wardrobe and swayed me towards being a label …

Time To Get Ready For The Autumn

Time To Get Ready For The Autumn

It is a bit sad, but the summer is drawing to an end. We are already having more colder and wet days, so now is a good time to go out and start preparing the family for the autumn. You need to have the basics readily to hand. That way you can still get out and enjoy yourselves, even on the colder days. A Good Jacket Top of the list has to be a decent wind resistant and shower proof jacket. Most retailers have already started to stock some great versions. These parka jackets for men are just one example. …
