Grunwerg drinks servers
We spotted these water servers when we went for our beauty treatments at the spa at One Aldwych (Jane and I won a prize draw at a Handpicked Media event, we never win anything so we were very excited) on… Read More
Things We Love
Velvet Rose & Oud (and Blackberry & Bay) from Jo Malone London
We were a bit slow mentioning the last limited edition London Blooms Jo Malone perfume launch and by the time we did, some of the good ones had sold out…so we’re just letting you know that the next one is… Read More
StriVectin-SD for emergency hand and feet help
So, the sun has at last come out in London and so I thought I’d swap my trusty brogues for sandals….bad move. As soon as I looked at my feet I realised I’d forgotten to go anywhere near them with… Read More
Precious One, award winning perfume from Precious London
Congrats to Kate Evans, who won best new independent perfume at the Fragrance Foundation last Thursday for her first perfume Precious One. It was launched last year (we mentioned it here ) and was created by Angela Flanders for her… Read More
Post Poo Drops by Aesop
These little drops are a stroke of genius by the team at Aesop, particularly if you have a house where there are 4 men regularly smelling the place up, as I do. The Aesop website delicately describes this product as… Read More
Toast twist back swimsuit
Still on the search for the perfect swimsuit, we were drawn to the Toast ones, particularly the Mia Bather twist back one above, which is both pretty and looks like it might be a great fit for those who have… Read More
Camper wedges
If like me, you find slightly dressed up summer footwear a bit of a comfort over style issue, then these bad girls may be the answer to all your problems – I can’t promise they will make your partner start… Read More
Liberty and Nike collaboration
We love these Liberty print high top wedges and really don’t care if we are too “old” to wear them. In the words of the teen “Have you lost your mind mum, they are soo Tulisa.”
Do I look like… Read More
Hope and Greenwood pinnies
We love a good pinny here at TWR, in fact I’d love us to do our own range, perhaps in Harris Tweed or even denim….but I digress. These cheerfully retro ones from Hope and Greenwood are uplifting, pretty and reasonably… Read More
Printed perfume bottles from Jo Malone London
If perfume bottles are sitting on our dressing tables and taking up space, the very least they could do is look pretty. Often much of the marketing spend goes into packaging and exotic boxes (I think we are supposed to… Read More
Antonia by Puredistence
Jane and I are a tad worried The Women’s Room is turning into a beauty blog, what with all the perfume and skin care products we’re being introduced to. With perfume, I’m starting to run out of adjectives when describing… Read More

We love: The Car Aromarizor
Well here’s a brilliant idea I wish I’d thought of, a high quality perfume dispenser that makes your car smell gorgeous, like an up market version of one of those green pine tree swingy things. The Car Aromarizor plugs into… Read More
Red Accessories
I love these red accessories from St John, shown on the catwalk in New York this week.
Red lipstick is also having something of a fashion moment too, although for me, it is always my ‘go to’ colour (gosh, I… Read More
Fiona Paxton wrap bracelets
More potential Valentine treats, these lovely embroidered Fiona Paxton bracelets would just brighten the day living at the end of your arms, wouldn’t they? They’d add colour and texture to any outfit (essential for these grey months) as well as… Read More

Jo Malone Vitamin E moisturising day cream
Jane and I were treated to a pot of this newly launched Jo Malone Vitamin E moisturiser day cream before Christmas to trial. It’s just gorgeous. I have no idea if it’s doing my skin any good (I’ve been using… Read More
They’re Real by Benefit
Having lush eyelashes becomes a thing of the past as one gets older and mascara becomes more a necessity than ever. I find it increasingly difficult to find one that doesn’t make me look like a wannabe glamour model/Kardashian and… Read More
Dr Oetker’s gold balls
Just in case you are running short on ideas for decorating puddings at Christmas, I can recommend Dr Oetker’s soft gold pearly balls. They are perfect for throwing over trifles, cupcakes or Pavlova, see above and looking suitably festive. They… Read More
Labour And Wait’s Christmas red parcel string
Sometimes a pile of beautifully wrapped presents is as good as it gets on Christmas morning….I’ve had more than one instance of wishing I’d never actually opened the parcel up (last year’s foot massage/warmer springs to mind). There’s something so… Read More
Christmas candles
There really is nothing nicer at this time of year, than making a real fire, switching on the Christmas tree lights and lighting a scented candle. Within minutes the house is filled with festive scent and Christmas cheer. It’s worth… Read More
Frog rings by Appartement à Louer Paris
When we went to the Precious Christmas pop up this week, we were given one of these fantastic frog rings by Kate as an early Christmas present. They are going to be our Christmas party rings. Very well priced at… Read More

We love these vintage style Christmas cards from Cavallini. Not only do they feature lovely vintage style illustrations of birds and Christmas scenes, they also have real glitter on them – that falls off when you move the card –… Read More
