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.

Wow! Where did 2018 go? I didn't even write my party-wear post!Although in truth I stuck to my all-time classic of black fitted trousers/J Brand leather pants and silk shirt variations.

If you're heading to the UK coast and have been before, you'll know the weather is somewhat unpredictable … Continue reading Packing for Devon, UK
Summer is pretty much the only Season I am likely to be seen out and about in a dress. 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
Pastels have been around for a few months now but I thought I'd wait until they hit the High Street before doing a blog post. They're the kind of colours that come around every other year or so, so like me you may already have some in your wardrobe. It's definitely worth unearthing some goodies if … Continue reading Candy Colours & Sorbet Shades
