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. I don't get excited if I've seen it before (unless it's been at the top of my wishlist for months). My sales purchases so far have been this amazing Ashish … Continue reading Christmas Came Early
It's Thanksgiving week and it seems that even the UK now marks this as the beginning of the sales. I, for one got ridiculously excited when I received an email from Net-A-Porter this morning inviting me to view their 'private sale' which is basically a preview sale with 25% off selected items. It's a great time … Continue reading The Net-a-Porter Private Sale (Winter 2017)
I thought I'd share what's on my wishlist for this Autumn/Winter.Writing these posts has made me realise what an obsession with footwear and accessories I have! There is always something to drool over. (I'll do a separate post on knitwear as there are so many to choose from at this time of year.) Click on … Continue reading Autumn/Winter Wishlist
It's once again that time of year that has me reaching for the rich jewel-tones of Autumn and hankering after anything lavishly textured and warm. As much as I annoyingly complain of the cold/wind/rain (a typical Brit) I do love Autumn and the prospect of wearing all those deep reds/burgundies/greens gets me excited year after year. … Continue reading New Wardrobe Additions
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
I don't think I'll ever get over my obsession with bright colours. It has now hit new heights with the profusion of rainbow-hued clothes currently gracing our screens and shop windows. To celebrate, here is my edit of favourite pieces (click on pic for link): Under £150 (A few of the items in this post are … Continue reading {Not} Over The Rainbow
The sun's finally out and the Summer sales have started! It's basically the fashion equivalent of food shopping when you're hungry - the overindulgence doesn't quite hit you until you've passed checkout. As time is of the essence (some things sell out quickly) I thought a quick edit of my top picks under £150 may be … Continue reading Sales Picks (Under £150)
After a very wet week in the UK I'm taking a lot of pleasure in packing for Nice. It's been a while since I went to the French Riviera but because my hubby and I have been before it's mostly going to be a flop and drop holiday. We're really looking forward to spending some time … Continue reading Packing for the Côte d’Azur
For me, Summer accessories are the best kind. It's the time of year you can be particularly bold with colour and buy quirky, fun things. Of course it's important to have some staple essentials in your wardrobe but there's nothing better than also having a few things that make you (and others) smile. I'm continuously amazed at … Continue reading Summer Accessories
Weirdly I feel like I've been quite good on the shopping front lately. Either I'm deluding myself or that strict talking-to I gave myself has worked.When I buy things for Spring this is not uncommon, as usually I can't wear the things I've bought straight away (thanks to the British weather) so I squirrel them … Continue reading Spring Buys
