Barbie on the beach?

I want to be there. On the beach, eating shrimps from the barbie. Anyone else fancy that? These Whitstable bucket BBQ's, which are new in, are brilliant. Quite simply, a bucket which barbeques!

'Charity Shop Cabaret' - the best of Brighton's Fringe Festival

We feel compelled to shout about and share with you this utterly brilliant comedy act which we were lucky enough to see last night, as part of Brighton's Fringe Festival. The Charity Shop Cabaret is based around the wonderful, and highly entertaining, world of Elspeth Garter, her Charity Shop and its volunteers. We loved the dance routines, giggled throughout bingo (yes, you get to play bingo!) and genuinely marvelled at the spectacle which had us in stitches for 2 hours. This touring company from Cornwall is an emerging act of huge talent and if you ever get chance to see them you'll be guaranteed to laugh until you cry! Look out for them at the Edinburgh Festival, or for a little slice of humour to cheer your soul take a look at the video clip on their site www.triflegatheringproductions.co.uk

High-Tops by Ash

The Fash Pack are telling us that we need a pair of High-Tops this season and whilst we don't always follow trends just for the sake of being uber cool and fashionable, we will always salute style and comfort which is exactly what we see in these gorgeous High-Tops from luxury footwear brand, Ash. Soft understated tones of worn leather and nearly nude, laced or buckled, and a regular plimsole if a high-top is not quite you. They look great with skinnies and when we are finally ready to get our pasty pins out, I think they will make a very cool look with shorts, great for the school run, shopping days or summer festivals. Take a look here.
