Ah, what? Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. It was a day of love, eating food, and being excruciatingly annoying. It was also probably the busiest day of the year in terms of restaurant bookings so if you were planning to go out and hadn’t gotten anywhere reserved, what was even the point?

Ah, lads. Sometimes, picking office-appropriate attire is quite difficult. You don’t want to be too professional at the risk of alienating people but you also don’t want to be too casual at the risk of looking like you just wandered in off the street. If nobody else wears slacks, can you wear slacks? If someone […]

There’s meant to be and then there’s this. If you’ve ever planned a proposal, you’ll probably know that a good bit of work goes into it. You’ve got to decide on a venue, figure out what you’re going to say, get a ring, get some prosecco or something, hope that they’ll say yes, come up […]

Bless. There are plenty of things the royals aren’t permitted to do. Wear nail varnish is one of them. Take their coat off in public if they’re a woman is another.

A goddess. Saoirse Ronan can do no wrong.
