I'm in love with... my christmas hostess apron

Okay, so love may be a little strong (my husband, son and dare I say it, even the dog may not approve) but infatuation maybe.

I've been drooling over this divine apron for a while now, and have finally ordered it to hopefully up the glam quota of my Christmas outfit this year (with a very busy 2.5 year old boy to run about after, and dinner to cook, the chance of sitting pretty in a dress and heels are practically zero). And as toddlers have no clue how much mummies need their beauty sleep, being the brightest of reds (think candy cane red rather than cherry red) it's the pop of colour I'll need with our usual silly-o'clock get up...

I also understand that some may think it's quite sad of me to pin my hopes of feeling more Yummy than Slummy Mummy over the Holidays on an apron of all things, but whatever works I say! Don't knock it till you've tried it. At £15.95 from Not On The High Street it's a positive bargain to boot, and I know it'll put a spring in my step every Christmas Day to come when dishing out those perfect roasties while someone will (hopefully) be keeping the Snowball topped up...

Gap and Banana Republic now sell online to the UK

I'm so excited. Never has new online shop got me in such a tizzy. As anyone who knows me will confirm I loathe clothes shopping at the best of times - but finally, FINALLY, Banana Republic and Gap are finally selling their ranges online to us here in the UK. Hooray! If you haven't heard of Banana Republic (where have you been by the way?), then think of them as a slightly more sophisticated or grown-up Gap, although both do collections that cover workwear to denim and have items this season anyone would covet regardless of your style.

What's more, if you register your email address for updates now, you get a 15% off voucher to use in store or online until mid-October (and yes, you can register for both sites even though they're the same parent company).

Who knows, this may even see me enjoying jeans shopping. Now, if only J.Crew decided to follow suit, then my own personal clothing utopia would be complete!
