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

Early Summer Fashion Picks
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
Packing for France ’19
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
Summer Staples
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

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

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
Packing for Seville 🇪🇸
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 🇪🇸
Spring/Summer Accessories
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

We're going to Lisbon, the countryside North of Lisbon and the Algarve so if you have any tips, do let me know.The first point of call will be Lisbon so I need flat shoes for walking and negotiating those hills, a decent sized … Continue reading Packing for Portugal
Late Summer Buys
This Summer has been an amazing one (weather-wise) in the UK with gorgeous sunny days since May. No doubt this will change next week, but even if it does we have our Summer holiday to look forward to. I miraculously feel like I've worn nearly all of my extensive Summer wardrobe already and have therefore … Continue reading Late Summer Buys
