ALEXANDRA SHULMAN'S NOTEBOOK: Posh is back and it's thanks to Nigella (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Thank you, Nigella. After your universally acclaimed Bake Off debut, it's now OK to sound posh. The Marchioness of the Meringue beamed in from the baking tent last week and instantly shifted the dial on upper class accents, swinging the posh-o-meter wildly into the red. In recent years, nobody has wanted to sound posh and as someone who does, I've long been aware it's something to temper. Not that my family were particularly upper class, but we were brought up with accents that veered more towar
ALEXANDRA SHULMAN reveals how she learned to embrace solitude (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Much has been written by women about being alone – the allure of an escape from familial demands or even just having a space they could call their own. Virginia Woolf’s seminal lecture A Room Of One’s Own explores the need for women to be allowed space, the same space accorded to men, if they are to be creative. But space to just be is also precious. Along with space just to be alone. One of my favourite non-literary lines on this subject is from the Carly Simon song Alone. It begins with the li
ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: The day I advised Kate on her wedding dress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s unlikely that anybody in the history of weddings could have looked less attractive than I did on the day of my first marriage in 1994. Even my sister made no objection when I made that comment to her not long ago. No ‘Don’t be silly. You looked so sweet.’ Or, possibly worse: ‘It was so you.’ There was an excuse.

SHULMAN'S NOTEBOOK: Why long haul flights are top of my anxiety list (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week’s inquest into the death of Richard Branson’s wife Joan revealed it could have been prevented had she been given the necessary blood-thinning medication. She died at the Lister Hospital in West London in November after suffering a pulmonary embolism, a dangerous blockage in a lung artery. I suffered exactly the same kind of sudden, massive, potentially fatal embolism after my cancer surgery two years ago. Ever since that night, I have been on a regular dose of medication and have been
ALEXANDRA SHULMAN: There's a price to pay for relying on Bank of Mum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Autumn and another slew of young people have left education to join the jobs market. They add to the already staggeringly large number of Neets – those Not in Education, Employment or Training – said to be almost one million 16-24-year-olds. That figure is based on young people who claim benefits, but what about those who are being subsidised by their parents and not claiming from the State? The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) reckons there are about 300,000 of these 'hidden Neets'. I suspect
