Wouldn’t it be nice, I thought, if I were to suddenly become a millionaire? I thought of all [...]

The only way is Cruelty Free: Members of the TOWIE cast speak up on fur in fashion
Posted on March 13, 2013 by Rachael Divers in Beauty, Fashion, Lifestyle.Horrifyingly so, behind the glamorous lights and sparkling demeanour of the fashion industry lies a sordid affair of cruelty and abuse that has been kicked to the curb in order to keep fashionistas in their luxurious fur coats. The affair I speak about is that of the fur industry. Every year, the catwalks are graced [...]

February in pictures
Posted on March 8, 2013 by Rachael Divers in Beauty, Lifestyle.Yet again, it’s another miserable rainy day. I shouldn’t expect anything more from the turbulent British weather, I know better than to get excited by one sunny day out of 300 cold and rainy ones.

Customer service is going down the pan – Boohoo and PayPal make for a disappointing experience.
Posted on January 12, 2013 by Rachael Divers in Lifestyle.For a little while now, I have been toying with the idea of whether to write my post on my shopping experience with Boohoo.

Personally me: Is that a manatee or a dog?
Posted on November 24, 2012 by Rachael Divers in Lifestyle.Had a lovely day with D in Leeds. Spent most of our day navigating the city’s one way system and primarily paddying about the abundance of shockingly bad drivers in East Leeds.

Personally me: My inspiration…
Posted on November 11, 2012 by Rachael Divers in Beauty, Lifestyle.In a delicate world of fashionably fickle fall-outs, beauty dashed dreams and hissing tantrums over front cover placements, I begin to wonder what it is about the fashion and beauty realm that I find so undeniably endearing. Luxurious, unreachable and utterly inspiring, I am transported back to a time where my cousin and I would [...]
