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)
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
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
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 think I've finally learnt the art of packing (taking hand luggage only) … Continue reading Packing for Mallorca
Oh dear, I seem to be suffering from the usual packing dilemma - I want to fit half my wardrobe into a teensy-weensy piece of hand luggage. It doesn't help that I appear to have lost all willpower at the last minute and have been seeing more of my DHL man (Hi Dave!) than my own husband. … Continue reading Packing for Rome
January & February are always my 'down' months, so inevitably a bit of retail therapy comes alongside the vitamin D spray. It's always an exciting time when the first signs of Spring come; in the form of both flowers and clothes-drops. Therefore I've compiled the things I'm longing for with some of the pieces I've already … Continue reading The Love & Lust List
Shirts are one of those pieces of clothing that every woman has in her wardrobe. Until now they have taken somewhat of a back seat in the fashion world but this year they have been turned from humble wardrobe staple to easy update. I would always usually go for a silk shirt but the coming … Continue reading Get Shirty
