I swore I would never do this...

When I discovered this website I got so engrossed I dribbled baked bean juice on my lap top and it has never been quite the same again. However, that was about 6 months ago now and I feel I can't keep this shop a secret anymore. Forget ASOS, check out Pixie Market! I'm not sure why more people don't know about this online store. Maybe because, like me, any one who comes across it wants to keep it...

who has all the nice underwear?

I really want to stock nice underwear in Fox and Feather. I don't want it to be fancy or expensive, just some pretty knickers and maybe some bandeau bra thingies. I am having a bit of trouble tracking any down. There are a few American brands I know about, but it would be good to find something a little closer to home. Anyone know of anything? Get in touch if you do!

Socks, however, is a different...

necklines get sexy: bows and collars

The whole decorating your neck thing is a trend set to stay with us through to autumn. Bows and collars are still big news and the high street is doing it well. Yippee! Keeping it classic in black and white, I like...

ASOS are offering this cute little bow that fastens around any collar.

This lace top with collar is a TOPSHOP beauty.

And yes I know this is being worn as a head scarf, but it would...

post-carnival blues beaten by bisciut boxes... somewhere to put your spare smarties

It was St Pauls Carnival in Bristol yesterday. I missed the parade but arrived with a plastic bottle full of home-made mojito at about 7pm ready for some dancin'. So, like the rest of the people of Bristol today was a bit of a right-off (as are my once white Nike Elite...) But two good things have happened today which I feel I must share with you:

1. The first of our tadpoles have turned into...

icecream

I just got a bit excited by lipstick. Not normal for me as I'm not really a big make-up fan, but this really makes me want to be a little bit more bothered and a lot more blonde!

I am also getting a little bit obsessed about finding the perfect pair of yellow jeans. Inspired by the make up above (which is by Lime Crime by the way) I suddenly found myself on polyvorebuilding an outfit which if I was...

Wimbledon...? Woolbledon!

Tennis tennis tennis. What better way to show your appreciation of those toned and tanned athletes then by settling on the sofa with a packet of Jaffa cakes and knitting up a new tennis outfit for your Barbie. Yes, surely everyones knows that woolen knitted tennis gear is the best?! And whos Barbie doesn't need a new outfit?

And just so Action Man doesn't feel left out (I heard he isn't a tennis...

the bike is trouble, so let's look pretty

My good friend Helen was in Bristol last night. As it wasn't raining I set off on my (t)rusty bicycle to meet her. All good. Drank and ate pizza. Still all good. Walked back to my wheels. PUNCTURE. Bloody bikes. And I wore sensible shoes so that I could peddle and everything.

So let's change the topic and talk about dresses. My favorites at the moment are by Dahlia. They are based in London and...

taxidermy- good or bad?

I have a lovely new friend on my wall. He hasn't got a name yet but maybe he should have. He is not the little fella from the photo at the top of the page. Well I hope he isn't anyway!

One day he will go and live in the Fox and Feather shop. But I am a bit worried he might scare people. He is a nice fox, I don't know... is taxidermy good or bad?

I bought him from a little old man in Wales. I saw it...

new jewellery from lovely Lisa

This has just come in from the fantastic Lisa Galibardy http://www.galibardy.com. She always has the most amazing stuff. There is so much I want for the new Fox and Feather store! Check out the rest of the collection on her website. I think it is amazingly well priced. I've got a few things from her in the past and the quality is really good, it feels weighty! Most of her stuff is made from brass...

getting started...

Ok, so.... I have worked in fashion retail for a long time. It started back in 1993 with Saturday job in BHS. Oh the glamour! Since then I have worked for many different companies in many different roles. I have worked my way up from the shop floor and been lucky enough to progress to a Buyer and most recently the Visual Merchandising Manager for a large womens wear chain. I have always worked for...
