There appears to be capital gain in it all, too — Emma Hill, Founder & Managing Director of Damson Madder, the brand best known for its ribbon and flower printed t-shirts as well as frill collar shirts, is opening a pop-up in Soho in February. “People want to have more fun, explore and reclaim more feminine elements within fashion,” she says, of trend's rise. “Experimenting with oversized collars, bows, ribbons and other, ultra-feminine elements brings people joy and feels empowering in some way — embracing femininity instead of shying away from it.” The company ended 2023 with a 400 per cent increase in web sales.  Source link

Listen, all I’m saying is Paris is a magical place for me; 18-or-so years ago I even met my wife in a hotel lobby there. And that’s the amazing thing about travel: it really can change your life. Yes, it’s stressful, expensive and often ruined by the screaming tantrums of children, but it’s one of the only IRL ways to get out of ourselves. We experience our self differently in a foreign land; away from home, we glimpse who else we could be. For now, my hopes of a Nureyev-style Parisian life remain a fantasy. Source link

Kate also suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) while pregnant with Princess Charlotte in 2014 and Prince Louis in 2018, but stayed at home in Kensington Palace. The condition meant that she was forced to announce both pregnancies early, before the normal 12-week mark, and she described the experience as 'utterly rotten.' Hyperemesis gravidarum can be so severe that sufferers vomit up to 30 times per day, resulting in dehydration Speaking on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, in 2020, Kate said: "I was really sick. I wasn't eating the things I should be eating and yet the body was still able to take all the goodness from my body and to grow new life, which I think is fascinating." Source link

Sadly, he was eventually captured and jailed for his crimes against Claudius, but legend dictates his good efforts did not stop there. While imprisoned, Valentine cared for many of his fellow prisoners, including his jailor’s blind daughter. Later, stories tell that Valentine even cured the girl’s blindness with his last act before being executed and, in the 18th century, the legend became further embroidered, with the priest said to have signed a final letter to the girl “from your Valentine”.

Cinnamon buns are a Fika favourite in Scandinavia, and are fast becoming a close contender for most popular bake after banana bread here. However, if you've not yet honed your skills in making the winter treat yourself, why not take one of the Hampton Manor Bakery’s workshops. Those who attend will get to make dough and cinnamon butter from scratch and they leave with a copy of the recipe. Workshops at the bakery, which has been a favourite since it opened its doors in 2020, are running through to the end of March. Source link

When I first began to register Stanley cups and their kin, I thought they were a distinctly lower-end-of-Gen-Z thing. My 22-year-old friend, who we all call “baby”, has one, which seemed fitting. But then the other day, in this very adult office, I noticed not one but two co-workers sporting the grown-up equivalent of a sippy cup. In the boardroom! Now I see them everywhere. Fully grown men and women chain them to their hands with wrist strap add-ons, the kind you’d typically reserve for a £600 iPhone or an unruly Wii remote, lest you break your £1,000 TV screen. They sip on them constantly, in a display of oral dependency so barefaced it would drive Sigmund Freud buckwild. Source link

In the shadow of regal 16th-century country house Avington Park, a new collection of lakeside lodgings – Avington Lakes – will open in early 2024. The eclectic mix of romantic shepherd’s huts, lakeside cottages and multi-bedroom retreats will be catered with daily breakfast, lunch and dinner hampers; that is, if you don’t fancy strolling to the estate’s own village pub or shop. A new cafe and spa, opening at Easter, will join an activities line-up including fishing, electric biking and clay pigeon shooting. Source link
