We’ll soon be off on our first staycation this Summer and although it’s not what we had planned, it will be so nice to have a change of scenery. Devon is not a hotbed of style and I expect we’ll be doing a lot of walking, so I’ll mostly be wearing quite casual clothes but … Continue reading Packing for Devon Summer 2020
I always forget in the colder months how gorgeously comfortable dresses are. It’s been so nice to get my Summer dresses out of my wardrobe and even though we have decided to postpone our travelling abroad until next year, just seeing these colourful items again, has made me feel instantly in holiday mode. Even if … Continue reading Summer Dresses 2020
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you may know that I’ve really been trying to buy less on the fashion-front and if I’m honest, it goes in fits and starts. I haven’t bought any high fashion, ‘trend-led’ items for a year or so which is great, as the things I am buying … Continue reading Early Summer Fashion Picks
I've found myself investing in more practical items recently - pieces that don't get my heart racing when I buy them but I know are going to be a pleasure to wear and that will have greater longevity in my wardrobe. A few things I've bought are upgrades/replacements of what I already have. For example, … Continue reading Summer 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
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
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 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
After a very wet week in the UK I'm taking a lot of pleasure in packing for Nice. It's been a while since I went to the French Riviera but because my hubby and I have been before it's mostly going to be a flop and drop holiday. We're really looking forward to spending some time … Continue reading Packing for the Côte d’Azur
For me, Summer accessories are the best kind. It's the time of year you can be particularly bold with colour and buy quirky, fun things. Of course it's important to have some staple essentials in your wardrobe but there's nothing better than also having a few things that make you (and others) smile. I'm continuously amazed at … Continue reading Summer Accessories
