By the time we get to January & February in the UK, I'm pretty fed up with Winter dressing but there are some style 'rules' that I tend to stick too, to get me through: 1. Invest in great coats and knitwear. Now is a great time to add coats and knitwear to your wardrobe if … Continue reading Winter Style Guide
As with most people the idea of Outerwear (and by this I mean coats and jackets - I'll do a separate accessories post) never used to excite me. However I now view them not only as an essential in the Winter months but as something that can bring some excitement and fun into even the … Continue reading In Outerwear

With the New Year there inevitably comes the need to update my existing wardrobe with a bit of a 'refresh'.

I've been busy buying myself Christmas presents as usual. Unfortunately only two of which are in the sale. I really am the worlds worst sales shopper.
