Every now and then, something comes along that changes your life forever. It’s the start of any love story for the ages: girl meets sex toy, falls in love, and lives happily ever after. It could happen to anyone.

Since the suction category took off, this has been more true than ever. These oral sex stimulators, which pulsate air waves against the clitoris, have taken the world by storm.

Remember the hype for the Rose in 2020? The world shut down, and at the same time attitudes towards this petalled pulser blossomed, with people raving about their love for it on social media.

But we’ve moved on to better things since then. At least, the reviews on two Lovehoney suction toys seem to suggest so. As the owners of Pleasure Air Technology – used in toys from Womanizer, to ROMP, and the Rose – Lovehoney is no stranger to wet and wild (literally) feedback on its products.

The co-ord would look great on a summer day.

Styling nice looks in the spring and summer can be quite difficult when you want to be comfortable in hotter weather. Co-ords are great to have in your wardrobe when you are struggling to style a chic outfit.

Tesco F&F has some good options in terms of its co-ords including the F&F Edit Pure Cotton Embroidered Sleeveless Co-ord Top in Multi Red. It can be worn with the matching F&F Edit Pure Cotton Embroidered Co-ord Mini Skirt in Multi Red.

Both items have “stylish embroidered detailing” on the front and is a “pretty choice” to add to your wardrobe, according to the retailer.

The top and skirt can easily be paired with other items you already have to create multiple outfits. The top costs £19.50 and the skirt is being sold for £22.50 with Clubcard members being able to get 25% off the pieces.

The co-ord was shared in a post on the Tesco F&F Instagram page, which currently has 887K followers. The post was captioned: “A Spring icon. A matching co-ord with delicate embroidered detail. Blouse £19.50. Skirt £22.50.”

If you want to get your hands on either the top or the skirt in time for spring and summer, you can go to the Tesco website to browse all of its clothes. You can also go in person to a Tesco store with a clothing department.

If this set is not quite in line with your style, Boden has some choices for the new season. There is this Square Neck Strap Waistcoat that comes in a trendy spotty pattern and can be worn with either the matching skirt or shorts. There is this also Sofia Broderie Shell Top, which has a similar embroidered pattern.

New Look also has plenty of pieces in stock that would be perfect for summer. There is this stylish Dark Red Fringe Hem Cotton Rich Midi Skirt, which can be paired with the Dark Red Fringed Hem Cotton Rich Vest, or this Brown Cactus Print Bandeau Beach Top that might be a good choice for on holiday.

The London chocolate maker produced 300 tonnes yearly and supplied Harrods, Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason

A leading UK chocolate manufacturer, which produced 300 tonnes each year from its London factory, has entered administration.

Marasu’s Petit Fours has supplied major brands such as Prestat, Fortnum and Mason, Selfridges and Harrods. The company was established in 1986 by patissiers Rolf Kern and Gabi Kohler, with the goal of creating premium chocolates. It was acquired by the Prestat Group in 2006.

The firm became London’s largest producer of luxury chocolates, churning out over 300 tonnes a year from its 25,000 sq ft facilities in Park Royal. However, it has encountered challenging market conditions in recent months.

The chocolate industry has been grappling with global cocoa prices soaring to record highs in 2024 due to disease and extreme weather impacting cocoa crops.

Administrators were appointed to Marasu’s on 6 February, with Alessandro Sidoli and Jessica Barker of Xeinadin Corporate Recovery Limited named as joint administrators, reports the Mirror. This followed Prestat also entering administration. Prestat continues to operate as an online store. The luxury chocolatier, established in 1902, closed its historic Piccadilly shop in central London in February.

In recent years, the chocolate industry has struggled with global cocoa prices surging to record highs in 2024 and cocoa crops being hit by disease and extreme weather, including flooding and droughts, in key producing countries such as Ghana and the Ivory Coast. These countries together account for about 60% of the world’s production.

The closure follows a prepack administration arrangement that will see Prestat acquired by chocolate manufacturer L’Artisan du Chocolat, which is owned by Polus Capital Management.

Prestat held two Royal Warrants and counted the Royal Family, including Princess Diana, amongst some of its most renowned customers. In 2003, The Economist magazine even named it as one of the top three chocolate shops in the world.

The Piccadilly shop inspired Roald Dahl, who referenced Prestat’s truffles in his novel My Uncle Oswald. The store, which was among the few to continue making its own chocolates, is also said to have inspired the fantastical sweet shop in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I’ve already waxed lyrical about how bright pops of colour are a particularly hot trend in the fashion world right now.

Cool girl celebs from Zoë Kravitz to Dakota Johnson have been seen sporting bold-coloured accessories that add an eye-catching, not to mention chic, touch to their off-duty outfits.

But the colour I’m seeing the most, and the colour I’ve found myself craving, is big, bold, vibrant red.

It’s the perfect antithesis to the clean-girl beige that’s been everywhere for years, and I can’t get enough.

If you feel the same, do me a favour and have a gander through my spring shopping wish list. If I’m lucky, dear readers, you’ll buy up everything on it before I lose the will to resist…

After what feels like centuries of grim, wet winter; spring has finally sprung (meteorological spring started on 1 March).

The weather seems to have gotten the memo, with sightings of the sun already starting to transform the mental wellbeing of people up and down the nation – including yours truly.

At the beginning of the season, however, the transitional weather can be particularly hard to predict. You might leave the house feeling pretty chilly, start sweating on your lunch break, and be back to seeing your breath again by sunset.

The key to dressing right for the season is by layering, but it doesn’t have to be all function, no fashion.

Here’s a list of some of the best (and most chic) layerable buys on the high street to get you started.

Fashion and function aren’t always the closest of bedfellows, and it’s so easy to overlook one in favour of the other. But that needn’t always be the case.

When you’re looking for a new staple piece for your wardrobe, something that you’ll happily be able to wear again and again, these are two elements that you need to prioritise.

And while it makes shopping harder, it’s far from impossible.

If you’re looking for a coat that’s extra wearable, these are some of the best buys on the high street right now.

Spring is here at last – the birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing and the sun is just starting to peek through the clouds, teasing us with what’s to come during the summer.

But during this tricky, barely-warming-up time of year, getting your transitional dressing right can be such a pain. And that goes double for your fitness gear, which needs to see you through not just rain or shine, but sweat too.

Whether you’re prepping for April’s showers or May’s flowers, give these fashionable fitness ’fits a look in.
