While on holiday in London, I knew I wanted to spend at least a day shopping in the city, but I…read moredidn't know where to begin. I found Casey at Proper Style, and I'm so grateful I did! Casey planned an entire day of shopping based upon my lifestyle, needs and budget and then pre-pulled at the shops so all I had to do was show up and try things on. Throughout the day she continued to show me how to mix and match pieces together to create outfits I never would have imagined and gave me useful styling tips based on my body type and coloring. I only wish I lived in the UK so I could hire Casey to come to my house and makeover my entire wardrobe! Five stars for sure.

Ann Summers is a bit of a public institution in the UK; the company has democratised sexy lingerie…read moreand accessories and is now present on most high streets around the country. There are more interesting stores in that category (Myla, Agent Provocateur, Coco de Mer) but all with much larger price tags. Ann Summers gets 3 stars because I cannot think of another store who would have had the idea of celebrating the anniversary of Robert Burns (famous Scottish poet) with a 'carpet burns' promotion...

If…read moreyou're new to the whole idea, perhaps it would be a good idea to choose from notebooks, ice trays, toys or lingerie for the Mrs, come birthday time. Just don't make the mistake of thinking that their 'Rampant Rabbit' product line has anything to do with cute bunnies! I have never bought anything from Ann Summers myself, but my girlfriend has the following to add: Ann Summers is a shop every girl longs to enter, though sometimes they don't have the courage to do it. But, with a little push from a friend or two it can be good, clean fun. Once you enter the store everything is quite naughty, but nice. Every product you buy special consideration, taking into account what your other half would appreciate. Ann Summers can be a couple's best friend because if you need something to spice up your relationship this is where you will find it.

The seductive smell of incense pulls people in off the street in the case of Chrome. Aside from…read moretheir awesome tattoo and body piercing section, they seem to offer a lot for smokers in the form of lighters, bongs, rizla and little bank bags with cool logos on them. Hats, gloves, scarves and other accessories adorn the opposite side of the store. Take a trip into the back however, and you quickly realise what this store is all about. I issue a challenge to any male reader of this review: take a hundred quid down to Chrome and request a 'frenum ladder' with '12 gauge captive barbells'. The only advice I can offer you is don't worry, you won't be the first to get one, or the first man to cry while getting it done either. Chrome is also a fully-functional tattoo studio: London's patron saint of inebriation Amy Winehouse has had one or two tattoos done here herself. And she turned out okay, didn't she?

Maybe it's me, maybe it is. But I just don't see the attraction of a tattoo or a piercing parlour…read moredoubling as a shop. So the awning of Chrome reads Body Piercing * Tattoos * Jewellery. And their main trade seems to be hats. And my problem is this, does all the crap that they got to sell not detract the tattoo artist from his work, is this not a distraction. Their hats are ok, in an ok Camden kind of way. Yeah, lots of smoking paraphenalia. Tee-Hee, smoking weed is so illegal. Bongs for sale, but they're all at the back of the shop to add to the illicit feeling, so you have to walk through all the hats and piercing stuff to get to them. Needless to say I didn't buy anything, or go for the needles

I had a fantastic day with my Style Doctor. I received the day as a voucher (a complete surprise!)…read moreI didn't really know what to expect from the day but it was AMAZING! She looked through my wardrobe and put some lovely outfits together using what I already had. We then went shopping (something I usually hate) but she showed me how to shop properly.

I was visiting London, and after 4 days in Scotland, hair was frizzy and in need of a blowout. I…read moremade an appointment at Richard Ward, but I am traveling with kids and I wasn't able to keep the appointment; the timing was too tight. This salon is very near Oxford street, and as I needed something from Selfridges, it was perfect. Appointment was with Rocio Dove, £49 for wash and dry. I was skeptical as it is an unassuming salon, but Rocio was very professional and the blowout lasted three days. I thought it was a bit pricy, in Washington D.C. I usually pay about £35, but honestly I was so weary and they were so kind and not the least bit fussy or pretentious, which made it feel like home. Ultimately I feel she got all the layers dried exactly right, with lots of volume. Highly recommend.
