With the U.K. now out of lockdown, there is hope (and some trepidation) in the air. The sun has been making an appearance and the shops and restaurants are open (something that I will never take for granted again). I, for one, am hoping never to see tracksuits in the shops again. I was fortunate … Continue reading Spring Buys (2021)
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
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
I've got to that age and wardrobe capacity where the cyclical nature of fashion means each season I can dip into the back of the closet and pull out some key pieces that can be revived once again. As I'm attempting to buy less this year (which, by the way, I'm finding ridiculously hard) I'm … Continue reading Wardrobe Revivals
I was in two minds whether to write this post as this is the kind of staycation that calls for more practical clothing and if you know me or read my blog, you'll know that's not my style! If you're heading to the UK coast and have been before, you'll know the weather is somewhat unpredictable … Continue reading Packing for Devon, UK
Not long now until we're off on a family holiday to Mallorca.I love this Balearic Island. This time we'll be staying in a finca at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains, so quite different to our last stays in bustling, stylish Palma. I think I've finally learnt the art of packing (taking hand luggage only) … Continue reading Packing for Mallorca
In case you haven't noticed, blazers are big right now. If you want one that will carry you through the year I would suggest something check, plaid or tartan, slightly over-sized and one that can be belted and layered. Here's my pick (click image for link): Under £100 The high-street (particularly Mango) has some … Continue reading Trail-Blazers
Fashion has always been cyclical and this year is no exception. Although for some reason to me, it definitely feels like it's less forward-thinking this year. Having lived through the obsession with the 90's Supermodels (Linda being my fave), I'm not sure I can face that particular look again. There is also the Princess Di look … Continue reading What Goes Around, Comes Around
It's a bumper year for great knitwear and the good news is that there are some amazing pieces on the high street. Finally, some great colours and textures at all price points (tap image for link): Under £150 There's no excuse to be swathed in black and grey all Winter when there is such a great … Continue reading The Knitwear Edit 2017
I thought I'd share what's on my wishlist for this Autumn/Winter.Writing these posts has made me realise what an obsession with footwear and accessories I have! There is always something to drool over. (I'll do a separate post on knitwear as there are so many to choose from at this time of year.) Click on … Continue reading Autumn/Winter Wishlist
