I'm so excited to be going to Portugal for the first time! We're going to Lisbon, the countryside North of Lisbon and the Algarve so if you have any tips, do let me know.The first point of call will be Lisbon so I need flat shoes for walking and negotiating those hills, a decent sized … Continue reading Packing for Portugal
I was in two minds whether to write this post as this is the kind of staycation that calls for more practical clothing and if you know me or read my blog, you'll know that's not my style! 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

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
This season and next (have you seen the Spring/Summer '18 runways?) are all about colour. Obviously being a complete colour enthusiast, this makes me very happy indeed. Particularly at this time of year when everyone tends to reach for their fail-safe uniform of black, dark blue and grey, time after time (hubby take note). Surely Autumn and … Continue reading Autumn Colours
I use the term 'girls' very loosely here but am soon returning to the South of France with a partner-in-crime. It will be quite different to my last visit to Nice as I'm hoping to get to wear some heels and there's a luxury hotel waiting for me, rather than a self-catering Airbnb. It's going to be … Continue reading Packing for a Girls Trip
Summer is definitely the worst season for my shopaholic tendencies, purely because I get tempted by all the bright colours and this Summer has been no exception.My most recent buy has been this pair of rainbow trainers by Gucci: I still can't get over how fabulous they are! As with most Gucci shoes they are … Continue reading My Summer Buys
