SWLS HOME - enchanting your life with candles

There are many small but significant things that can help a Shopista change her home from merely a 'hangout space' to a place where she loves to conduct her life - from living, sleeping and eating, to entertaining with friends and family. Candles are at the top of Sleuth's list for instantly changing the ambiance of a room, helping create an atmosphere that is inviting to both live and entertain in.   
From the glorious aroma that many scented candles now possess to the gorgeous flickering of a naked flame, a candle instantly brings a feeling of chic sophistication to a room, and of course to the owner herself!
From using candles as a decorating tool (love one atop a pile of books!) to a beautifully laid table for dinner with candles creating the mood, a flickering flame in a gorgeous holder helps make all the stylish difference. Even something as simple as turning out the bathroom lights and showering by candlelight can bring a completely different dimension to one of life's regular occurrences, and help reinvigorate a Shopista (after a long day or before she hits the town!)
The other fab thing about candles is that they are basically a fool-proof gift. Birthdays, engagements and even those times when you just want to show someone you care, candles are the perfect gift for the stylish Shopista. 


Below is a selection of gorgeous flame-burners, ready to bring both style and sophistication to your life & abode.

WATCH OUT! fabulous wrist-wranglers perfect for keeping you on time!

Ahhhh the wonderful world of watches. What was once merely a time-keeping device, keeping us on track for our daily routines, has become something of a fashion statement in itself. 
A watch and how one wears it is quite a personal preference, similar to great loves for instance. Some Shopistas (Sleuth included) find one true love and stick with it, moulding it to each of their outfits and growing so fond of its appearance day-in-day-out that they couldn't bear to have anything else adorn their wrist. Other Shopistas date around, using watches similarly to shoes and accessories, and match back their time keeper depending on what colour or look they are going for.
Neither way is right or wrong, it is just one of those many fashion rules that isn't really a rule, and means anything goes!
So whether you're into bling, boyfriend styles, small and dainty, large and loud...there is a watch to suit every personality and style, it's just about 'making the time' to find it!
Below is a selection of Sleuth faves currently available to keep you on time and in style....so sit back, relax and WATCH OUT!
