By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle I don't have children but I do have to avoid the careless hazardous driving around the time of the school run. More than a quarter of mums have had an accident after being distracted by their children, on the way. A study carried out among 1,500 driving mums also found one in five have narrowly avoided striking another vehicle whilst changing radio channels at the kid’s request. And school run mums are losing their...

There are few cities in the world that showcase the turn of the seasons quite like London, and as such, as a London dweller, you become quite attached to the classical seasonal traits. Summers spent sat on rooftop terraces sipping Prosecco and munching on Mediterranean-style salads, autumns in warm pop-up restaurants nursing a large glass of Pinot Noir and eating game,  winter spent wrapped up next to a log fire and the spring spent dining on as many bowls of...

Christmas is a magical time in London. Father Christmas once said that “if it wasn’t for the abundance of skilled seasonal labour in Lapland, I would have set up shop in London”, but if we missed out on the workshops, we certainly got his sales floor. Harrods lit in all its glory in Knightsbridge, Selfridges on Oxford Street, Fenwicks in the heart of Mayfair and the behemoth Westfield shopping centres located to the east and west of the capital makes...

By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor, @TLE_lifestyle Ok I admit it, when the clocks go back and it's dark at 5pm, ALL I want to do is retreat to my living room, with a HUGE box of chocolates (well for as long as chocolate exists) and sit there, vegetating until spring. I always thought I wasn't alone and new research has confirmed it, thank the lord. Women are LAZY in winter; boys deal with it. I will tone up for a...

By Charlotte Hope Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle I get really blubbery in the Winter. I hate it. It’s cold and I want to stay indoors and drink tea and eat chocolate/anything in the house. Everything in the house. In addition, the second the clock strikes midnight on December 1st it is a struggle not to eat my entire advent calendar and drink gallons of mulled wine. A friend of mine has a theory that in December ‘a cold wind blows’ and...

By Charlotte Hope - Lifestyle Editor I always thought my parents did quite well for themselves (thank you very much) but it turns out they didn't, they are beneath me; strange as I still borrow cash off them. But it turns out I am in the minority, as according to new research modern Brits believe they are more successful than their parents ever were. A study of 2,000 current British workers looked at the relationship between their careers and the...

By Rosie Wilson By now, we’ve all seen the raunchy Kim Kardashian photoshoot for PAPER magazine, which landed this morning and caused massive controversy. Say what you will about Kimmy K, but you can’t deny she’s looking good. Here’s how to get her sleek, sexy look - from head to toe… Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous women in the world, and definitely the owner of the most famous bum. We’re used to seeing 34-year-old Kim in figure...

By Charlotte Stringer, Style Editor at STYLIGHT.co.uk With mass-hysteria last week as Alexander Wang x H&M hit stores worldwide, the collection was the latest in a long line of designer collaborations with the Swedish high street brand, 10 years’ worth, in fact. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of high end partnerships, H&M released a book, The First Ten Years, chronicling the collections from Karl Lagerfeld in 2004, to Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, last year’s hit, Isabel Marant plus everyone else in...

By Steve Taggart Nobody likes household chores (well some do, but then some people like Slipknot) but they have to be done, unless you have a house keeper; then life is a breeze and you will have time to read this article, as someone else is tidying up. However, the rest of us have to keep their homes in order, well, unless you are a man who have found a range of tricks to get out of it. A new study...
