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

Packing for France ’19
It's so exciting to do a 'Packing for...' post! I just can't wait to spend some quality time with my family eating copious amounts of cheese and other wonderful French produce. This holiday we're off to Bordeaux and into the French countryside exploring beautiful villages and hopefully a smattering of Chateaux and vineyards. I'm not … Continue reading Packing for France ’19
Summer Staples
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
Packing for a Girls Trip
I use the term 'girls' very loosely here but am soon returning to the South of France with a partner-in-crime. It will be quite different to my last visit to Nice as I'm hoping to get to wear some heels and there's a luxury hotel waiting for me, rather than a self-catering Airbnb. It's going to be … Continue reading Packing for a Girls Trip

This is a family holiday and we're going to be spending it partly in the Catalonian countryside and partly … Continue reading Packing for Spain
Sales Picks (Under £150)
The sun's finally out and the Summer sales have started! It's basically the fashion equivalent of food shopping when you're hungry - the overindulgence doesn't quite hit you until you've passed checkout. As time is of the essence (some things sell out quickly) I thought a quick edit of my top picks under £150 may be … Continue reading Sales Picks (Under £150)
Packing for the Côte d’Azur
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
Summer Essentials
As much as my wardrobe is bulging, there is always room for a Summer update. As I have a Summer holiday planned next month and a more exotic one in November I can't help but keep thinking about tweaks to my existing 'Summer Essentials'. Needless to say, I use the word 'essentials' loosely! There is … Continue reading Summer Essentials
