First up – big apologies for the sporadic posting here at SM, but I’ve got a good excuse, honest…I’ve moved house!

Yep, hang the pink bunting, Sassy Minx HQ has a new pile o’ bricks – it’s a by-the-sea girly pad and while it’s not entirely pink and fabulous just yet, I’m channeling Martha Stewart – the domesticated goddess Martha, not the fraud/prison dwelling Martha – to make sure that it will be very, very soon, by making lists.

I am a list-making freak.

Fact.

I was walking in my ‘hood yesterday in a Miami Vice meets Chanel ensemble – think stripe boat top, tulip mini and white linen jacket with gold pearl jewellery, with Ms L who was working a tattooed Heidi Seeker cardigan, black dress and pink hair foliage, when out of a passing car came “OI OI SWEETHEARTS!” Needless to say, we both laughed at this, uhm, gesture and agreed it was decidedly better than the unintelligible “AWIGHT!” that was shouted at us half-hour previously. We then broke into a Sex And The City style convo about the art of the chat-up, or to Americanise, the pick-up.

I am all about wonderlands -and wanderlust – and one of my most magical places of wonder is Miss Lala’s Boudoir in Primrose Hill, London.

Not only is it one of my favourites, but celebs like Scarlett Johansson, Gwen Stefani and Kate Hudson have been known to explore the pretty, pretty Aladdins cave with their celeb-like fineness too.

I literally cant stop myself from grabbing silky knicks off the main table, touching up the cashmere cardigans – so Gina Lollobrigida! – and stroking the chiffon Ell & Cee high waisted knickers. It’s a trousseau of fantastical print, babydoll colours, amourous fabrics and rockin’ rhinestones, it truly makes me want to buy EVERYTHING and wear it all while lying on a chiase longue all day eating macaroons.

Come meet the fabulous Fine Rees, the creatrix and owner of  all this beautiful loveliness…FYI: She is every bit as fabulous as you’re expecting – just read her inspir-o list and Miss La La Soundtrack listing. Le sigh.

A Sassy Minx is a Hot Chick. We decided that as soon as we’d read How to Eat Like a Hot Chick.

Basically she’s a grown up girl that makes her own rules,  and is an honest, confident and passionate woman. BUT, it’s hard to be like that every day, and even a Sassy Minx can have days when she gets wobbly on her Westwood heels and dare I say it; insecure. So, at a wobbly time of my own life, when How to Love Like A Hot Chick – £6.99 through the post, and from the actual Hot Chicks, Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent themselves, it was one of the best presents I could have received right now.

At first I was unsure how on earth I was supposed to review In Bed With, a book of lightly erotic, yet ‘unashamedly sexy stories’ by some of the best female authors around, but that was just me being slightly immature and overtly aware of my prudishness. Because, lingerie designer or not, I find it a little difficult to talk the dirty talk whereas I’m old hand at walking the dirty walk – lingerie and heels, sil ‘vous plait. And, as a girl that reads on-the-go, it wasn’t exactly the kind of book that you would whip out on the bus when the front and back cover, ‘guarantee satisfaction.’

However to put it in the politest way possible; the book WILL deliver satisfaction through a trousseau of quirky tales that will take you to my beloved London, romantic Paris, the farthest of American deserts where tumbleweeds roll, and beyond.
