This one’s for the ladies who like the finer things in life… like Prada!
iStylista.com is a new Luxury Fashion Website that promises to be every fashionista’s luxury personal stylist and personal shopper. It’s designed for the busy woman in mind and utilises human stylists to pre-select the most suitable designer clothing based on your size, shape, colouring and body niggles (to name a few). Its unique selling point is the human interaction element; many other fashion sites such as shopstyle.co.uk and OSOYOU.com automate everything so have no true differentiation.
The site uses some very clever technology that allows the actual stylists to use their ‘professional experience’ and ‘style theory knowledge’ to look at an item of clothing and give it a scoring for specific elements such as body shape and how the item can enhance/disguise body niggles such as ‘chunky thighs’.

Have you ever thought of what a night in prison would be like? Well it’s now possible at the Malmaison Oxford and you won’t have to worry about the warden turning the lights off at 10pm. Located in the newly developed Castle complex in the centre of Oxford this hotel combines the usual luxury expected from a Malmaison hotel with a Victorian prison. Previously visitors to Oxford would most likely stay in The Randolph Hotel which featured heavily in the Inspector Morse series. But now there is a new guard in town, Malmaison Oxford, as featured in the TV series Lewis, can now stake claim as the most luxurious hotel in Oxford.

There is nothing more evocative for a confirmed steakaholic than the thought of a big fat juicy Argentinean steak lovingly prepared in a unique South American environment. So it was with great relish that I took my place in the Gaucho Steak Restaurant Smithfield and I have to say that I was certainly not disappointed.

Situated close to Horsham in the heart of West Sussex, South Lodge is one of the hotels within the Exclusive Hotels chain. We recently had the opportunity to visit the hotel and review it for Lussorian and seeing as we are only based 45 minutes away it was hard to refuse!
The hotel is nice and easy to find with clear signage from both approaches. As you’d expect with a grand old manor house, there is a sweeping driveway which reveals the grandness of the property once you get passed the blooming azalias. First impressions count as they say, and the imposing Georgian style of the property didn’t disappoint. On entering the hotel we were greeted by very warm and enthusiastic staff who were only too pleased to help us relax as soon as humanly possible. In the blazing midday sun, the day could only start with a Pimms on the terrace of course whilst our room was made ready… ok, maybe 2 then!
