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)
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
I always forget in the colder months how gorgeously comfortable dresses are. It’s been so nice to get my Summer dresses out of my wardrobe and even though we have decided to postpone our travelling abroad until next year, just seeing these colourful items again, has made me feel instantly in holiday mode. Even if … Continue reading Summer Dresses 2020
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
There's actually something rather comforting going through Summer photos whilst you're in the midst of a rainy Autumn. Our Summer holiday this year was a 3-centre mix consisting of the Lot-et-Garonne, the Dordogne and Bordeaux. It was basically a huge French love-in that completely blew me away, so if you're beginning to think about your holidays … Continue reading The Lot-et-Garonne 🇫🇷
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
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
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
