Finally an END to Yucky Boy Smells with JACK STUBBS UK made candles.

Bluebelle woods British Countryside fragrance .. infintely better!

Green Moss & Ferns and Wild Rhubarb a sort of school canteen touch...............

Stumbling on the Jack Stubbs candles at Canoeinc press day was like a godsend! Umpteen times I have had to put up with the MAN poo poing my exotica aromatherapy candles in the bedroom! Remarks such as ` Christ Lupe , I am going to faint! inhaling this !` to ` I am totally allergic to this, I cant breath, blow it out`. Even the ultimate extreme of ` I am not sleeping with you in this pong`. Means I have had to do secret lighting's when he is away. 

Having discovered Jack Stubbs, my life has become pink again!  Each Jack Stubbs candle is made from 100% renewable rapeseed wax. They are also presented in totally ungirly distressed tin cans.  The scents themselves are reminiscent of the British Countryside, such as Bluebell Woods, Green Moss & Ferns and Wild Rhubarb totally comprehensible in men's speak!

They also purport, (being created in the heart of rural Staffordshire) to being the only `low fragrance miles` candles currently available in the UK and at £9.95 its a pretty good deal too!

Although there were loads more these had to be  my favourites!
I mean  check out the cashmere socks manufactured and woven  in Scotland  that come in a variety of colours and styles, short  and ribbed or  plain and over the knee., also they're fabulously gift boxed and  priced  start at £50 from http://www.belindarobertson.co.uk/ for AW2011.

Victoria Holt the designer behind Fred&Ginger one of my favourite designers versed in the art of elegant seduction has created the most romantic of all collections based on the Ballet Russes,  soft Pinks and Champagnes. A symphony of silk lame chiffon that glistens in its barely there hue .... bras , briefs and shifts are all given her special magic potion for the AW2011.

Nikki Noo`s very simple full and half slips are just a real steal  starting at £50 they are just about the only thing around for this kind of garment...plus also can conceivably double as a summer shift dress on the beach with flats!

Mint Siren by Josefine Wing is a stylists dream inspired by the 70s Peace and Love movement  uses a light neutral colour for SS11 and the whole back to nature theme. Particularly loving the Love Poncho and Bikini briefs  Not forgetting her popular leather strap accessories!

All these terribly talented designers are made in the UK. Now who said that manufacturing in the UK was
dead ..............definitely not in lingerie my darlings !!
