I'm a fashion writer now!

It started when I wrote about Kate Middleton's skinny pink jeans, and then went on to patterned jeans worn by celebrities.

I then started to think know what? I'll write about dresses. So here it is The classic shift dress, a top 2012 fashion trend. I've been wearing trousers so much for so long that when I look in my wardrobe I see only 1 dress that I'd consider wearing. There's a huge choice of shift dresses this year. If you live in the USA you can buy a whole range from amazon, and here in the UK, amazon.co.uk is extending it's clothing range too.

Here's one I really love The new ladylike look. This is perfect for summer 2012.

More skinny jeans!

I enjoyed writing my Skinny pink jeans page for Squidoo so much that I've written another skinny jeans lens. This one is Patterned Jeans- the celebrity fashion trend.

Patterned jeans sound pretty scary, but you know what- they look great! Well, they look great on celebrities such as Jessica Alba and Gewn Stefani. Whilst researching for my Pink skinny jeans worn by Kate Middleton page I came across photos of celebrities in patterned jeans that inspired my to write Patterned jeans worn by celebrities. If you click through the highlighted link above you'll see the photos and see how great you could look in patterned jeans!

UK readers- did you know that amazon.co.uk have a huge range of jeans and great clothing? Click through this picture for more information

Skinny pink jeans like Kate Middleton wears!

When I saw the pictures of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, playing hockey at the Olympic Park I loved the skinny pink jeans she was wearing, so I decided to write a Squidoo lens about Skinny pink jeans.
I'm impressed by the huge range of pink skinny jeans on offer over at amazon.com for readers in the USA and Canada.
I've picked my favourites, and the perfect jacket to go with the skinny pink jeans too. I wish I was younger and slimmer- I'd certainly have a pair of skinny pink jeans in my wardrobe. I'm actually going to try a pair on when I next go shopping to see if I could possibly get away with buying a pair for myself- it's a 2012 fashion trend I love!

I didn't realise that amazon.co.uk has great clothes and jeans . Here's their best selling skinny  jeans offer- available in pink of course!

Easter in the Lake District

Not long now until Easter. I've written a guide to Easter in the Lake District, which lists some of the many things to do and see in the Lake District this Easter.
Anyone who reads this and has events they would like me to add, please leave a message on the web page.
Thank you.
Still thinking about Easter , thoughts are turning to food, and what to eat for the Easter meal. I'm recommending my Traditional sherry trifle recipe. It's a winner. Make it in advance- no fuss on the day.
To make it really special you might like to splash out on a new trifle bowl.
Here's the one I'd really love. It's very expensive! - but it's an Emma Bridgewater design. Gorgeous!

Not long until Easter- Easter biscuits recipe

Easter biscuits have been made in Europe for centuries.
In the days before we were swamped with chocolate every Easter, sweet biscuits and cookies were an Easter treat at the end of Lent.
My Traditional Easter biscuits recipe comes from England. This biscuit is a thin shortcrust, with currants and dried fruit in the mixture, sprinkled with sugar. You can add a little spice if you like.
These traditional Easter biscuits make pretty gift too. Wrap them in cellophane, tie them with ribbon, and give them as a very welcome Easter gift.

This cellophane bag with a firm base is the luxury way to present your Easter Biscuits as a gift.

Get ready for summer with outdoor toys for children

It's spring! Time to think of getting outdoors, and if you have children, time to plan the outdoor play area before the school holidays.

I remember as a child how I loved playing with Buckets and Spades, or Buckets and shovels as they say in the USA..
I also loved the simple pleasures of my garden swing.. If you have children or grandchildren, why now think about giving a swing set as a present? They'll love it.
