Well if ever there was a season better suited to the cardigan, that time is now. Cold and fresh in the morning but mild by lunchtime, I've learned (the hard way, I might add) the lightweight buttoned knitwear is the only thing to reach for during these confused weather times. I've long enjoyed a longer ...
I’m prepared that not everyone will like this post, a jumpsuit is the sartorial equivalent of marmite and in my past experiences working in fashion it conjures up delightful references to workmen, tyre fitters and the Ghostbusters to name a few. That said, I like marmite and I like jumpsuits, boilersuits in particular and surprisingly ...
Alas it happened, the heatwave has waved goodbye. Unlike most people I know I am gutted and truth be told I didn’t expect to be at all. I’m usually a huge fan of the cooler end of the seasonal spectrum – there’s something about cosying up indoors and layering clothes that hugely appeals to me ...
Whatever your thoughts may be about 'the trends" and what's fashionable or not (and indeed whether you care), every now and then a look appears that is just plain practical - and the dress over jeans outfit is one of them. It's very easy to see why this look has gained popularity lately, with the ...
The reasons for this post were twofold; the primary reason being that the nicer weather meant I could finally bring out my old favourite side stripe wide leg trousers, and the second simply because everywhere I go I’m seeing side stripes... A stripe is often a popular choice at this time of year, as is a ...
I have a theory; if I dress like it's already Spring, it will show up. Much like the book The Secret says, (if you haven't read it I highly recommend) if you put positivity out to the Universe you get it back, I have decided I am going to dress for warmer (drier) weather and ...
When I initially sat down to compile a Mother's Day gift guide for the blog, I didn't actually envisage buying something from it for myself (Happy Mother's Day to me!), it's certainly one of the hazards of this job! As I scoured the internet for the perfect gift suggestions I soon clapped eyes on these ...
Sometimes it's the simple items of clothing that make the biggest statement. I've spoken about outfit elevators before now and the slogan top is a fine example. On (most) days when I want just a bit more from my usual mummy uniform of a sweatshirt and jeans sometimes all it takes is a slogan to ...
Poor January gets such a hard time. When it should be the month of new beginnings and fresh starts instead it's treated like it's a thirty-one day long hangover. It's the month of strict diets, torturous gym sessions, and has all the financial fun of a wet day with no umbrella. To add insult to ...
Happy 2018! I hope you had a wonderful break. We had a lovely time but as much as I'd like to say we had a relaxing one, a toddler and project kitchen prevented us from lazing about too much. The good news is the kitchen is nearly finished (hurrah) so I shall be sharing all ...
I'm a Fashion Editor, stylist and writer currently renovating our first home as well as recently becoming a Mummy for the first time to Daisy. Love anything grey, Scandi inspired, am a little bit camera shy and have a penchant for a flamingo. I'm also a big fan of the great British High Street and regularly scour it for amazing finds to prove you can have Style & Substance...
