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
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 🇪🇸

I am usually much more of a denim/trouser fiend but there is something deeply appealing about wearing dresses when the temperatures are rising.

It's that time of year again! Just as I've bought myself a pair of amazing earrings (more on those in my next fashion post) I get the email invite through for the private sale. I swear I'm trying to be good! I believe you have to be on their mailing list and possibly should have bought … Continue reading The Net-a-Porter Private Sale
I use the term 'girls' very loosely here but am soon returning to the South of France with a partner-in-crime. It will be quite different to my last visit to Nice as I'm hoping to get to wear some heels and there's a luxury hotel waiting for me, rather than a self-catering Airbnb. It's going to be … Continue reading Packing for a Girls Trip
There's nothing like packing for a Summer holiday when it's raining outside! It's such a great feeling and so nice to see my Summer wardrobe again. Plus I actually have hold luggage for this trip - woohoo! This is a family holiday and we're going to be spending it partly in the Catalonian countryside and partly … Continue reading Packing for Spain
