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.

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

I am usually much more of a denim/trouser fiend but there is something deeply appealing about wearing dresses when the temperatures are rising. First and foremost is comfort - it's quite freeing to have your legs more … Continue reading Summer Dresses
Summer Accessories are a great way to get excited for Summer (even when it's raining oustside) and upcoming holidays. At the moment I am really trying to be more conscious about buying things (which doesn't come naturally to me!) so I haven't invested heavily in accessories this year as I have so many in my existing … Continue reading Summer Accessories
