Excuse the ridiculous title pun there. I do these things to amuse myself! Today, I left my native Canterbury for a 'field trip' with uni to London. I decided to wear my new Christopher Kane dress, which I bought on Saturday at work with my uniform discount (60% - so it only cost £20!) These outfit pics aren't all that clear so here's a pic of the dress on the site in all its lacey meshy glory!...

Festivals proliferated this decade, thanks in large part to the improbable figure of a Somerset farmer who has dealt with travellers and Kate Moss It has been a decade which has seen even the most improbable-looking music fan digging out their camping gear and heading to a festival.

Henri Bendel brought Coco Chanel's fashions from France to the United States. Who can't appreciate that? Bendel -- with its flagship store in New York and a series of small satellites, including a store at Somerset Collection North that opened in July -- still has a certain sophisticated charm.

'Banger', 'Tresco' or simply 'Tres', Marcus Trescothick is a very popular character in England and especially in Somerset. We all want to see him on the cricket field fit and well so the news of his premature return from India is a huge disappointment. Depression is a much-misunderstood affliction. Sufferers are not 'mad' or people to be avoided. They simply happen to have an illness which is very...
