If you’ve read this blog before, it will probably be obvious that one of my favourite trends of 2017 is gingham. I've done multiple outfit posts including gingham items now and at one point I was really struggling to prevent my Instagram feed becoming a constant stream of checks and not a lot else, because… Continue reading The easiest way to take gingham into autumn/winter

We went pumpkin picking | White House Farm, Norwich
Okay, I admit it. I’m easily influenced. We usually just buy our yearly pumpkins from Morrisons or Sainsburys or something, but the stream of pumpkin picking photos all over Instagram got me keen on a trip beyond the supermarket this year. I thought I would pop up the photos in a blog post, since I… Continue reading We went pumpkin picking | White House Farm, Norwich
Learning to brush off life’s little irritations
Allow me to set up this post by telling you about a common scenario in our house; It’s Saturday, and I am intending to publish a blog post on Sunday. I don’t have photos for it yet, so I need to take them today. I do my hair and make up then get into the… Continue reading Learning to brush off life’s little irritations
Making my wardrobe work harder: the trench coat
Welcome back to another instalment of Making My Wardrobe Work Harder, my ‘once a month’ series that definitely doesn’t happen once a month. It’s official – I’ve scrapped the idea of trying to do it that frequently. In fact, next time, when I inevitably take ages to do another one, I don't think I'll even… Continue reading Making my wardrobe work harder: the trench coat
In defence of dressing up
I've always had a bit of a penchant for dresses, and for dressing up. Since the age of around 18, a dress has been one of the items of clothing I feel most confident in. I've added more and more to my wardrobe, and over the years I've known that if I'm feeling unattractive, or… Continue reading In defence of dressing up
A week in Rhodes: holiday highlights
If I had to say what I liked most about Rhodes, I would say this: it makes an excellent relaxing holiday for people who are bad at relaxing holidays. To explain that, then...even when I really want to relax, I am pretty useless at the sunny holidays where you lie by the pool or on… Continue reading A week in Rhodes: holiday highlights
The best thing about getting older so far
It’s a funny thing, this getting older lark. One glance at a shelf in any card shop is enough to let you know that we’re supposed to be collectively terrified of it, and yes, I do my fair share of 'Can you believe how close we're getting to thirty? So scary' - but at the… Continue reading The best thing about getting older so far
Where to eat vegan in Rhodes town
I've included Vegan in the title of this blog post because the things I eat are vegan, but just as a small reminder at the start; vegan food is just food. It's not some kind of alien space fodder that other humans can't eat, so this is still 'food in Rhodes Town', it just so happens… Continue reading Where to eat vegan in Rhodes town
Holiday Lookbook: A week in Rhodes
Recently I did something I haven't done for a while, and went on a sun holiday. You know, when you stay in one place and wear swimwear basically every day and do some sunbathing. If you follow me over on Instagram you'll probably be aware of that because I was a totally annoying holiday dickhead… Continue reading Holiday Lookbook: A week in Rhodes
Some aims for October
The past month has been really good. I thought it probably would be, because I always find I feel driven and excited in September, so I was pleased to find that it lived up to expectations. I wasn't intending to dwell too long on it here - this post is supposed to be about October,… Continue reading Some aims for October
