Allow me, if you will, to tell you the story of this dress. I passed it in New Look a few weeks ago while browsing for something that would be totally striking and location appropriate for my trip to Holland (in the end I got flustered, gave up and subsequently spent the trip looking like… Continue reading An ode to slow-burning clothes love and ‘useful’ buys

The things I loved about Haarlem, Holland
There was lots I was looking forward to about my Holland trip, but top of my list, if I'm honest, was tulips. My excitement for flower overload was so enormous that it was verging on deranged, so with that front of mind I'd been somewhat slack with giving the other things we were going to… Continue reading The things I loved about Haarlem, Holland
It’s time to say goodbye to self doubt (because it’s making me completely fucking useless)
It took me a grand total of 57 minutes to reply to an email the other day. Fifty seven. Nearly an hour. The word count of said email? Also 57, if you exclude the greeting, pleasantries and sign off, which I will because I can and it works better for what I’m about to say.… Continue reading It’s time to say goodbye to self doubt (because it’s making me completely fucking useless)

Three unfortunate clothes shopping habits I’m trying to bin
The way that the topic for this blog post came into my head is kind of embarrassing, but let's roll with it. Today I spent probably two of my fully dressed hours pulling my culottes out of my arse (how’s that for TMI?), where they seemed determined to reside for the majority of the day.… Continue reading Three unfortunate clothes shopping habits I’m trying to bin
I’m trying to appreciate little things more so here’s a handful of stuff I’m going to stop and enjoy this spring
Happy April one and all. I don’t know how the fourth month of 2018 managed to arrive already, but here we are, 3 months and a horrible number of centimetres of rain down. It’s been a pretty good year so far, but when I think back, I’m surprised to find that I don’t actually remember… Continue reading I’m trying to appreciate little things more so here’s a handful of stuff I’m going to stop and enjoy this spring
