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
Wow! Where did 2018 go? I didn't even write my party-wear post!Although in truth I stuck to my all-time classic of black fitted trousers/J Brand leather pants and silk shirt variations. As for the sales - I've only bought two things, which I'm feeling rather angelic about. I've decided that I need to be more … Continue reading Winter Sales Picks
Yet again it's the season of the jumper and as a cold-blooded reptile, I do appreciate a great cosy knit when the weather starts to turn.So without further ado here is my selection of this year's picks: Under £100 This year I am tending to go for plainer knits, partly because I have quite a … Continue reading The Knitwear Edit
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

(Yes, I know - any excuse!).One of the first things I bought was a new cashmere jumper in cream from Pure Collection as I hate wearing dark colours on dreary days and January & February … Continue reading Wardrobe Updates & 20% off Pure Collection
I've been busy buying myself Christmas presents as usual. Unfortunately only two of which are in the sale. I really am the worlds worst sales shopper. I don't get excited if I've seen it before (unless it's been at the top of my wishlist for months). My sales purchases so far have been this amazing Ashish … Continue reading Christmas Came Early
It's Thanksgiving week and it seems that even the UK now marks this as the beginning of the sales. I, for one got ridiculously excited when I received an email from Net-A-Porter this morning inviting me to view their 'private sale' which is basically a preview sale with 25% off selected items.

This season and next (have you seen the Spring/Summer '18 runways?) are all about colour. Obviously being a complete colour enthusiast, this makes me very happy indeed. Particularly at this time of year when everyone tends to reach for their fail-safe uniform of black, dark blue and grey, time after time (hubby take note).
