I returned from my holiday at the end of September finally excited about dressing for Autumn. I bought two things within days of returning – a suit and some boots – and then, in a move that is unheard of for me, bought nothing at all for over a month. To confirm, I'm fully aware… Continue reading The things I’ve added to my wardrobe this Autumn/Winter
For more years than I care to remember, there was a common key factor in my clothes shopping decisions and outfit selection process. Under the sort of harsh changing room lights that make you feel particularly shiny and toad-like anyway, or in my own bedroom, I have looked in the mirror at my prospective outfit… Continue reading I finally took ‘looking slimmer’ off my dressing agenda
A favourite sentence starter of my boss’s is "If you get hit by a bus tomorrow…". To be clear and so that you don’t think he’s a sadist (debatable); the phrase is one he uses as a precursor to discuss the benefits of sharing skills and knowledge amongst the team. A valid point, but hearing… Continue reading I just realised that I actually have to make the things I’m going to do ‘one day’ happen
Well well well, isn’t this a blast from the past. If you ever found yourself on this blog last year, you may be loosely familiar with this ‘series’ that I think I only ever actually did around five times, which involved taking one item and styling it four different ways. The point of these posts… Continue reading Making my wardrobe work harder: ways to style a checked suit
I’m not sure if I’m more pleased with myself that I’m actually writing this post, or annoyed with myself that I managed to do it late even though I’ve had the photos and the intention for weeks. Last month I declared a new ‘regular’ post of sorts – a monthly catch up, to be written… Continue reading A mid-month catch up: October
Corrr, I remember thinking gleefully when I stepped off the plane and back into British weather after our holiday, it's a bit chilly. Because having had a final hit of warm skin, sun dresses and ice cream galore, I was finally feeling ready to embrace Autumn with open arms; full of anticipation for bright, crisp days, rust-coloured… Continue reading Time to transition (praise be to the black turtleneck)
Hello there one and all. This is the first in a new ‘regular’ post of sorts that I’m going to do – a monthly catch up, where I’m planning to just chat, diary style - the kind of everyday stuff that probably gets lost in other posts. It might be what I’m doing, what I’m… Continue reading A mid-month catch up: September
I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to write here, so bare with me while I offload a little. This will undoubtedly be somewhat self-indulgent - which most things I write are, I suppose – but feels needed all the same. This summer has been an odd one in several ways, and one of the… Continue reading Missing: 1 x mojo, please return immediately if found
This is a sponsored post. Look, this might be a really frivolous topic, but a little bit of frivolity never hurt anyone so we’re going to talk about it anyway. I think – and I don’t say this lightly – that the jumpsuit may be the best item of clothing I've ever been introduced to.… Continue reading A very important list of the reasons that jumpsuits are fantastic
Last summer I published a blog post that at the time was my most successful one ever (not that that was difficult, since I think I'd been blogging about 2 months). It was this one, a really simple outfit post about a summer outfit that was entirely from Primark (although I notice I didn’t have… Continue reading This cute summer outfit is all from Primark
