We know the sky’s have been grey and stormy of late, the mornings have been a little cooler and, even though we’re still in August, the odd little leaf is turning red. It feels like a sign of things to come.. But don’t be sad, it’s the opportunity to use some of August’s pay cheque to treat your self to a season investment piece.
If you want a luxury bag to make the weekend days seem lighter and brighter, go for the Alexa clutch in plum. As you know, Mulberry’s Alexa bag, inspired by style icon Alexa Chung, has reached star status and this latest and smallest edition to the family is starting to share the limelight! Wear by day, with the shoulder strap, as a very ontrend cross the body bag - or by evening, warm up, even the most casual outfit by removing the strap and using it as a clutch – taking a tip from Olivia Palermo above, who wears Topshop with her nude tone Alexa clutch.
The rich, plum leather is sure to make you stand out and the goldtone twistlock and buckles work really well – love it with skinny jeans, great knitwear, platform heels and a simple gold bangle. Click the images or the banner for more details – you know you want to…

We know we have really gorgeous, manly, rugged, men out there reading TFG, producing so much stubble that they don’t know what to do with it. That’s why we jumped at the chance to review ‘The Bluebeard’s Revenge’ a product for real men, with real stubble. This is not some air filled shaving foam boys - this is a shaving cream – it will not only give you a smooth shave, it will slow that beard growth down too.
- The first thing we noticed when we received our pot is the packaging – this is going to look impressive on your bathroom shelf. A retro style pot with a silver lid, then a vivid blue label with skull and crossbone graphics – visitors just aren’t going to be able to help screwing off that lid to have a look and a sniff.
- Now that’s the second thing, the smell. This stuff smells really, really good, clean and sexy – you may have to put up with some neck nuzzling I’m afraid.
- Next – the feel – it’s rich, it’s smooth,it’s creamy. We asked Michael, our very manly and heavily bearded techie down here at TFG to put this stuff to the test. He once carried a whole hard drive as far as the car. A small amount in the palm of the hand lathered up really well and went on smoothly with great coverage – we all had a sniff of his chin at this point.
- Finally – the shave. Yes a great, smooth shave, (we all had a feel). Apparently a nice skin tingle afterwards, but no burning – jobs a good un.
