This Autumn is certainly unusual on the fashion-front. The pandemic and working from home has certainly had an influence on what we buy (if we buy) and the fashion industry seems to have responded to this with an emphasis on loungewear and more easy to wear/practical pieces. I for one, am certainly going out a … Continue reading Autumn Fashion Updates
I expect most people’s buying habits have changed somewhat this year. Even during lockdown, when living in leggings I would find myself reaching for a good pair of earrings to lift my spirits and instead of buying clothes I found myself seeking out new jewellery and beauty products. Gold hoops seem to have become more … Continue reading Jewellery Update 2020
We’ll soon be off on our first staycation this Summer and although it’s not what we had planned, it will be so nice to have a change of scenery. Devon is not a hotbed of style and I expect we’ll be doing a lot of walking, so I’ll mostly be wearing quite casual clothes but … Continue reading Packing for Devon Summer 2020
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you may know that I’ve really been trying to buy less on the fashion-front and if I’m honest, it goes in fits and starts. I haven’t bought any high fashion, ‘trend-led’ items for a year or so which is great, as the things I am buying … Continue reading Early Summer Fashion Picks
Ok, so in all honesty I’m not sure my husband would agree to the above title as let’s face it; the world has gone to crap, so it’s ok to be emotional once in a while. One minute I’m perfectly happy and the next I feel like a caged, frightened animal. It’s definitely made me … Continue reading How I’m Keeping Sane
Eeek, I can't believe it's that time of year already. I am desperately trying to finish what seems like never-ending Christmas shopping and I guess for some lucky people the Net-a-Porter sale could be a good opportunity to buy some gifts; either for your other half, a great friend, family member or yourself. Every year … Continue reading The Net-a-Porter Sale
It's so exciting to do a 'Packing for...' post! I just can't wait to spend some quality time with my family eating copious amounts of cheese and other wonderful French produce. This holiday we're off to Bordeaux and into the French countryside exploring beautiful villages and hopefully a smattering of Chateaux and vineyards. I'm not … Continue reading Packing for France ’19
Oh dear, temptation seems to be knocking on the door by way of the private sales invitations landing in my inbox. I think my already weakening resolve could crash and burn in this instance. Matches has also started its private sale which is 30% and Browns Fashion has up to 50% off so I'll add … Continue reading The Private Sales
By the time Easter comes around I'm desperate for a holiday. This time we're going to Seville, Spain and once again my hubby has insisted we go with hand luggage only (eye-roll). I therefore need to be particularly savvy in the packing department and looking at the weather forecasts, this is going to be a … Continue reading Packing for Seville 🇪🇸
I have to confess, that I started writing a 'wishlist' edit and then quickly realised practically everything on it was an accessory. They really are my weak-spot. Particularly bags and earrings. This Spring/Summer there are some amazing pieces around and I know I said I was trying to be good but I have failed miserably … Continue reading Spring/Summer Accessories
