Following a rather impromptu passing-by, myself and 3 girlfriends ventured into the chic store seeking shade from a blazing summer sun. We were greeted by Boudoir Founder & Owner, Jeni, who was about to give us the sex education of [...]

A couple of years back, I was offered an iPad for Christmas by a long gone gent. “No!” I exclaimed. “Something thoughtful and romantic, please”. (Stupid is a lass in love). The big day arrived and I tore at the Selfridges bag, so artfully and professionally tied. Unveiled was a candy pink and shiny black [...]
