As Louis Armstrong once sang "I don't care what the weatherman says" - and quite frankly I don't now. This week marked the official start of spring so I don't plan on letting the (big or mini) Beast From The East deter me from enjoying some seasonal related fashion/retail therapy. Plus I've also found since ...
Hurrah coat season is upon us! A coat is one of the few pieces in your wardrobe that will earn it's keep. It faces the elements on a daily basis and has to work with a variety of outfits so making the right decision when investing in one is important but also daunting. For those ...
Although the weather yesterday was like something from an Apocalyptic film (red sun anyone?), the scariest day of the year is yet to come, exactly two weeks today in fact. With just 14 days until All Hallow's Eve you cannot have missed the tidal wave of merchandise and clothing that is currently flooding the High Street. ...
If you have been following my Insta-stories of late you will know that we have been living through a kitchen extension. Relatively speaking it has been a quick build (or so I am told by my husband and the builders) but that doesn't mean going without an oven, washing machine and sink has been fun, ...
It is with regret but I am giving up on summer, with the wet and grey days outnumbering the warm and the opportunities to wear sandals dwindling I've crossed over to the dark side that is autumn dressing. It doesn't help that while project kitchen is underway the desire to shop for clothes when I should ...
An unfortunate turn of events recently led to a very fortunate fashion discovery. Arriving for a meeting I looked down to see that one of my favourite leopard print loafers was without a heel ( I had walked in them a lot). Aside from being gutted I was also lopsided and had an exposed heel ...
We are back from our first family holiday for my brother's and my new sister-in-law's wedding and it was just wonderful - as you are reading this I am still in mourning for it and trying to cheer myself up by constantly scrolling through the pictures. However, I am happy to report that travelling with ...
There's nothing quite like the realisation you will be in a swimsuit in a week's time to get you motivated. This week I have been mostly HIIT-ing the gym mat hot, sweaty and out of breath in an attempt to lose my mummy tummy in time for our first family holiday next week. While I ...
Last season I welcomed the statement sweatshirt so naturally this summer I'm embracing the t-shirt version. Granted a new concept it is not but making a statement with your clothing certainly is fun. To be frank, there are days when it would be easier to wear my mood across my chest than talk (at least before ...
You may well recall in a post I wrote a while back that I bought some palm leaf cushions for the living room and the matching curtains (read about it here) with a plan to get my Maria Von Trapp on and re-cover a tired second hand footstool we had. Well I finally did it ...
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...
