I've got to that age and wardrobe capacity where the cyclical nature of fashion means each season I can dip into the back of the closet and pull out some key pieces that can be revived once again. As I'm attempting to buy less this year (which, by the way, I'm finding ridiculously hard) I'm … Continue reading Wardrobe Revivals
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
Not long now until we're off on a family holiday to Mallorca.I love this Balearic Island. This time we'll be staying in a finca at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains, so quite different to our last stays in bustling, stylish Palma.

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
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

It's always an exciting time when the first signs of Spring come; in the form of both flowers and clothes-drops.
