With the U.K. now out of lockdown, there is hope (and some trepidation) in the air. The sun has been making an appearance and the shops and restaurants are open (something that I will never take for granted again). I, for one, am hoping never to see tracksuits in the shops again. I was fortunate … Continue reading Spring Buys (2021)

Winter Sales Picks
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. As for the sales - I've only bought two things, which I'm feeling rather angelic about. I've decided that I need to be more … Continue reading Winter Sales Picks
The Accessories Edit/Gift Guide
My love for accessories continues no matter the time of year and the festive season always brings with it some extra sparkle. Accessories also make great gifts for the women in your life hence why I've also called this a gift guide (plus I couldn't help adding in a few coffee table books and beauty … Continue reading The Accessories Edit/Gift Guide
Late Summer Buys
This Summer has been an amazing one (weather-wise) in the UK with gorgeous sunny days since May. 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
Summer Accessories
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
What Goes Around, Comes Around
Fashion has always been cyclical and this year is no exception. Although for some reason to me, it definitely feels like it's less forward-thinking this year. Having lived through the obsession with the 90's Supermodels (Linda being my fave), I'm not sure I can face that particular look again. There is also the Princess Di look … Continue reading What Goes Around, Comes Around
Spring Buys
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
The Love & Lust List
January & February are always my 'down' months, so inevitably a bit of retail therapy comes alongside the vitamin D spray. It's always an exciting time when the first signs of Spring come; in the form of both flowers and clothes-drops. Therefore I've compiled the things I'm longing for with some of the pieces I've already … Continue reading The Love & Lust List
Packing for Sri Lanka
I'm currently counting the days to when I jet off to Sri Lanka - am so excited to be returning to this beautiful verdant country after so many years. As I haven't been on a tropical holiday for quite some time, I'm finding packing quite a challenge as, as usual I just want to take everything! … Continue reading Packing for Sri Lanka
Packing for Paris
I'm off to Paris next week - so excited that I've already planned what to take! It's a 'girl's trip' so will mainly involve eating, drinking and shopping (not necessarily in that order)! We've both been to Paris before so have done all the touristy things. It will be nice just to enjoy being there rather … Continue reading Packing for Paris
