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

Packing for Devon, UK
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
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
The Net-a-Porter Private Sale
It's that time of year again! Just as I've bought myself a pair of amazing earrings (more on those in my next fashion post) I get the email invite through for the private sale. I swear I'm trying to be good! I believe you have to be on their mailing list and possibly should have bought … Continue reading The Net-a-Porter Private Sale
Packing for Mallorca
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. I think I've finally learnt the art of packing (taking hand luggage only) … Continue reading Packing for Mallorca
Trail-Blazers
In case you haven't noticed, blazers are big right now. If you want one that will carry you through the year I would suggest something check, plaid or tartan, slightly over-sized and one that can be belted and layered. Here's my pick (click image for link): Under £100 The high-street (particularly Mango) has some … Continue reading Trail-Blazers
Accessories Update
As you may know, I am a mad accessories fan. They are such a fun and easy way to update your wardrobe and don't (always) have to break the bank. I still have a crazy obsession for earrings and so does the fashion world - we're talking abstract and fairly big. Judging from the Fall/Winter 2018 … Continue reading Accessories Update
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
Christmas Came Early
I've been busy buying myself Christmas presents as usual. Unfortunately only two of which are in the sale. I really am the worlds worst sales shopper. I don't get excited if I've seen it before (unless it's been at the top of my wishlist for months). My sales purchases so far have been this amazing Ashish … Continue reading Christmas Came Early
