So it is hardly surprising that these get-togethers can be a little challenging when it is time to choose what to wear! So what's a girl to do? We love a great excuse to hit the high street, shop local and see what festive outfits are out there! To help out, we've put the Roman store in the Brunswick, Scarborough in the spotlight as…

THE NIK NAK SHOP – A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING

I love a good shopping experience whether it's Food, Clothes, or Furniture it matters not. Just getting out and about and seeing what the shops have on offer is my kind of thing. There are some places where you can spend an age browsing at all the wonderful things they have, sometimes finding items you realise that you had either forgotten to buy previously or find something you didn’t even know you needed! Other times you will find a shop that has just about everything including a great team who will help you find exactly what you want. BACKPACK WITH REINS…

Get Bike ready this summer! 🚲

Now that summer is here, more of us, including our children, are getting "bike ready"!

Italian Fashion on our high street!

Katie, the owner of Shoenique, which is on the high street in Scarborough has so much love for the brand, and it shows. Listening to Katie’s story, which she tells with pride, energy, and emotion, is lovely. She has a “passion for fashion”, the Italian style is apparent, it's classy, elegant and stunning. The shop is beautiful and designed well, the visual merchandising is creative, eye-catching, and fresh with colour. The customer service here is excellent, nothing is too much trouble, and it’s easy to see why Katie has so much support from her many loyal customers. The business is…

Out with the old in with the new! 👡

Just as spring cleaning the home is a thing, at this time of year, I like to have a good look at what I have in the shoe department to make sure the sandals and pumps are still good for the coming year. Digging out my footwear and lining it up, I realise they have all seen better days! So, it’s time to get out there and see what’s on offer. I head down the high street to Pavers, which is a favourite of mine, and not just because there is so much choice but because the customer service is…

The Yorkshire Pudding!

I could wax lyrical about Yorkshire and the great food the Yorkshire Coast has to offer, what we are famous for, and just generally how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place that has an abundance of amazing produce. But for me personally the pinnacle has to be the Yorkshire pudding. Put the words Yorkshire and Pudding together, and an image of a crisp, golden beauty dipped with gravy comes to mind and I can not think of anything more delicious to make this March. There are many dishes that you can make using Yorkshire Puddings as…
