Okay. Take a deep breath. Remain calm. Count to three... and now squeal like a banshee with child-like excitement! It’s the Disney Princess Parade in London this weekend! I’m sure not everyone is as fond of old Walt’s creations as I am, but it’s not very often that a Disneyland style event takes place here in the city.

Brace yourself, folks: the glitterati will be out in force this week. This time of year always seems to come around so quickly, awaking that inner shopping addict that I’ve tried so hard to lull to sleep! London Fashion Week attracts the top people in the industry from all over the world; designers, models, magazine editors and celebrities. Even if you have no interest in the latest trends, you’ll find it hard to avoid the...
