The Past is oh so Very Now
You know where I am going with this one... This is not a new craze that has taken the nation unrepentantly by surprise, it has been more of a slow and steady walk in the park that stepped itself up into a gentle jog, then became a sprint and now it has become a tidal wave, a marathon of serious proportions and it is roaring ‘retro revival’!

Please, before we begin, abandon those thoughts of terry towelling, we are not talking about bathrobes here! A dressing gown is quite a different animal all together from that of the ill-fitting, shapeless, shin length, towelling bathrobe that so many people will refer to presently as a ‘dressing gown’. A dressing gown is, as the name implies, a gown that is... (posted by Davinia 1 year 113 days ago.)

The History of St Valentine's Day
In many countries throughout the world you will find people celebrating and declaring their love and devotion to one another on the 14 th February every year. Loved ones are commonly presented with flowers, chocolates, love notes and gifts on this international day of love yet how this day came to be, remains shrouded in speculation and mystery.

Love is Not Just for Valentine’s Day
The Simplest Gestures Can be the Best Ones! With Santa’s rear view lights still visible in the distance, Christmas and its wonder (as well as the indulgence and overspending!) seems only a blink behind us, yet we must now turn our attention to St Valentine’s Day. Like me, I am certain that you believe expressions of love should not just be reserved for St Valentines Day, of course love is something... (posted by Davinia 1 year 133 days ago.)

Dressing Gowns and the Balance Between Seduction and Comfort

A Passion for all thing Paisley
Paisley makes for a refreshing look, this is a rather absurd statement of me to make when you consider that the paisley print actually originated as far back as 3000 years ago from Indo-European cultures. In Britain it is represented in Celtic art, but this disappeared after the rise of the Roman Empire. In India however it flourished in many different art forms.
