As I haven’t been spending much on fashion lately, I thought I’d share what else I’ve been buying. The first two lockdowns I bought things like leggings, loungewear and decorative objects for the home. This lockdown it’s been a real mix of clothing essentials (things that need replacing), makeup and a few electrical items. For … Continue reading Lockdown Buys
Knitwear is an absolute essential in my wardrobe as I feel the cold so. I am still a terrible jumper hoarder and have failed to get them all out of storage to see what I have, which is always a mistake. When buying knitwear I do tend to just buy what I love, when really … Continue reading The Knitwear Edit 2020
Eeek, I can't believe it's that time of year already. I am desperately trying to finish what seems like never-ending Christmas shopping and I guess for some lucky people the Net-a-Porter sale could be a good opportunity to buy some gifts; either for your other half, a great friend, family member or yourself. Every year … Continue reading The Net-a-Porter Sale
It would seem that we have had the final hurrah of Summer, so it's time to put those amazing Summer dresses away (unless they can be paired with a knit and ankle boots) and reach for the warmer items at the back of the closet (or bunged in another room, as is in my case!). … Continue reading Autumn Fashion Staples

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. Matches has also started its private sale which is 30% and Browns Fashion has up to 50% off so I'll add … Continue reading The Private Sales
Coming into a season where you don't need so many layers is always a relief, particularly as I love prints and prints are always more accessible and easy to wear in the warmer months. As much as I like layering and am not afraid to mix things up, in the Spring it doesn't require so much … Continue reading Spring Prints
I have to confess, that I started writing a 'wishlist' edit and then quickly realised practically everything on it was an accessory. They really are my weak-spot. Particularly bags and earrings. This Spring/Summer there are some amazing pieces around and I know I said I was trying to be good but I have failed miserably … Continue reading Spring/Summer Accessories
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
