Seeing as we’re all stuck inside at the moment it’s very easy just to slob-out and give-up making an effort, but we sometimes forget the transformative nature of what we wear to reflect our mood and this is so important at the moment. It doesn’t mean we have to compromise on comfort, which is also … Continue reading Lockdown Loungewear

Favourite hotel: The Newt, Somerset, UK. ...and budget/family friendly hotel; Mollies, Oxford, UK. 2. … Continue reading 2019 Favourites
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
Well there's no denying it's officially sweater weather (in the U.K. anyway) and after getting all of my heavier knits out of storage and reviving those that I could, (with the de-bobbler) I have ended up buying a few new pieces. Chunky knits and cardi-coats are my go-to at this time of year. Here are … Continue reading The Knitwear Edit ’19
It would seem that we have had the final hurrah of Summer, so it's time to put those amazing Summer dresses away (unless they can be paired with a knit and ankle boots) and reach for the warmer items at the back of the closet (or bunged in another room, as is in my case!). … Continue reading Autumn Fashion Staples
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
I've found myself investing in more practical items recently - pieces that don't get my heart racing when I buy them but I know are going to be a pleasure to wear and that will have greater longevity in my wardrobe. A few things I've bought are upgrades/replacements of what I already have. For example, … Continue reading Summer Staples
I am such a convert to dresses for the Summer. As soon as the weather starts to get warmer I seem to add a few new ones to my wardrobe. Over the years I have amassed quite a collection but I get so much wear out of them I don't tend to suffer from buyer's … Continue reading Summer Dresses 2019
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
Coming into a season where you don't need so many layers is always a relief, particularly as I love prints and prints are always more accessible and easy to wear in the warmer months. As much as I like layering and am not afraid to mix things up, in the Spring it doesn't require so much … Continue reading Spring Prints
