A couple of weekends ago I was looking for a reason to have a shopping trip and a catch up with my friend Abi, luckily the guys from The Vintage Kilo Sale told me they were heading into Sheffield soon, so I decided to combine the two. Now Abi is the best and worst friend to go […]

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to be invited by the guys at Meadowhall to the launch of the new Burberry counter in their Boots store.  I was a little worried when I first entered the store, thinking it would be difficult to find, but even in a busy Meadowhall the Burberry stand […]
