I've been dressing very lazily recently. It's too cold to spend a long time getting ready in the morning, so I've just been wearing whatever top and trouser combination comes to hand. I've also been finding tights very irritating, which means that I haven't worn a dress for ages. This is the perfect lazy morning outfit because it's easy and warm but the fur coat makes me feel like I put some effort

There's nothing better than receiving a hand written letter in the post, am I right? Don't get me wrong, I love being able to contact people immediately on social media, but letters are much more intimate and they demand your attention in a way that a tweet cannot. One of my favourite parts of writing a letter is the decoration. Here are four ideas for decorating your own letter paper. Are you and
