If
you're still slopping around in
sweat pants and your man's old t-shirt
then where have you been? Pick up
any glossy magazine at the moment
and you'll be hit by the coverage
given to The Pyjama Room Company.
Not just pyjamas as the name suggests,
but a fabulous new range of extra
comfy, ultra-chic leisure/sleep
wear. Made from an amazingly soft,
stretchy cotton jersey fabric lounging
around couldn't be more stylish.
The pieces are designer bred with
gorgeous detailing everywhere yet
they are un-fussy and bridge the
gap between sleepwear and leisure
wear. A huge new celebrity-led fashion
statement is 'popping out in your
pj's and this great range allows
you to do that - the school run,
supermarket shopping, nipping to
the local shops these outfits are
going to look great.
Forget the little polka dots and
florals that we're used to this
brand comes in a plain colour palette
that you can mix and match yourself.
You really can't go wrong - not
the most affordable pyjamas on the
market but if you consider that
you can wear them during the day
too, you could build up a little
capsule wardrobe for yourself and
never be stuck for choice.
Easy to wash and care for they are
a superb addition to your easy-wear
collection.

For
many of us a good, rich hand cream
is a daily essential,
but there are those who have a
problem with hot, sweaty palms
which can be both embarrassing
and uncomfortable.
Help is at hand however in the
form of L'Occitanes Verbena Hand
cream. This is a really unusual
formula in that although it moisturises,
its gel-like formula actually
cools and soothes hands leaving
a matt finish.
It still contains all the lovely
L'Occitane quality ingredients
which are great for keeping the
skin supple but hands will feel
silky without any grease or stickiness.
The packaging is also very unisex
so this one could be a great one
for any guys who have the same
problem.

you're looking for a family friendly
present
this year then look no further
than 'Make, Bake and Celebrate with Polly & Jago'.

If
it's presents for children you're
after
there are some sweet little jewellery
pieces in the new Argos catalogue.
If you know any little girls with
pierced ears they have a really
cute range of animal earrings
- we love the giraffe and hippo
set in 9ct gold and enamel, £14.99
for both pairs. And their sterling
silver range called 'Little Gems'
is lovely for starter jewellery,
all with a pretty angel motif
including lockets, bracelets and
bangles each come in a cute pink
gift box.
Most little girls would love the
adorable 'Me to You' range again
in sterling silver and packaged
in the Tatty Teddy logo box -
a perfect gift for the under 10's.
For the really Modern Miss the
'Dinky-Ice' range is studded with
cubic zirconia set in sterling
silver - perfect for the Glamour
Puss!
