Being the dedicated and loyal Grazia-reader that I am, I happily and quite excitedly parted with my pennies already by 9am this morning in exchange for my weekly fix of news, gossip and fashion. Just the perfect amount of reading vs pictures for a busy mother with little time over for magazines.
My luck was very much in my favour this morning as my toddler daughter decided to have a snooze in the pushchair at 9.05am which gave me the rare chance of sitting down in one of Totnes’ cafes outside in the sunshine with a tea, a sinful but very nice croissant and Grazia magazine. Those moments come so infrequently that they are enjoyed in almost a magical way when they do appear. By that I mean the combination of all four components together, the four being daughter sleeping, tea, croissant and Grazia. On an individual basis tea is enjoyed several times per day most days, croissants far too often if wanting to loose last few baby-pounds and Grazia… well, a few 10-minute sessions per week… if I am lucky that is. Come Monday night I normally speed-read it to justify buying the new weekly issue the following day.

Just to let you know the new seasons Anglomainia will be out on the shop floor by friday 31 August 2007. It is a very sort after label for us so make sure you get down there to grab it before it goes!!

These two Scandinavian labels are new to us for this season and have already proven to be a real success as their unusual designs were flying off the rails this weekend. Customer comments were great and everyone loved both styles.
Due to great demand we managed to get hold of a few summer-pieces from Odd Molly for our website as a little pre-taster but you will see much more this coming season. A few Odd Mollies are already in stock so please click away to check them out.

As both labels are fairly new to this country, below is a quick-guide to who they are and how they see themselves.

Last weekend actually forecasted sunshine, a rare commodity this summer, so we decided to pack our car and go camping. Whilst we both enjoy luxury and five star treatments, camping with the girls gives a feeling of complete happiness totally different from champagne-sipping and gourmet-meals in posh places. The fresh air, the freedom and being a world away from TV’s, laptops and all other modern gadgets gives such complete relaxation and ability to switch off from the daily stress of life.
