We really like this stylish range of unique Christmas baubles, each designed by a different celebrity, so we thought we’d share them here! They’re on display this Christmas in The Shard and they’re being auctioned for children’s charity, Kids Company. The project has been curated by British fashion designer Matthew Williamson and includes baubles from…
This week I’ve spent all my time waiting in for deliveries. Shopping on line supposedly saves time and effort but it’s becoming as bad as going out in the ‘Xmas Rush’ – at least you meet fellow human beings that way, instead of people with a call script or worse still an inanimate voice telling…

As we’ve said before, it’s not necessary when you’re shopping for a less able friend or family member to concentrate entirely on their disability. Nine times out of ten you…
Blue Badge Style founder, Fiona Jarvis, has been interviewed by the UK’s leading restaurant guide, The Good Food Guide.

The Wrap is short this week as I’m feeling a little poorly after a night out with the Blue Badge Style team.
