I’m sure I won’t be alone when I say that one of the things I find most difficult to shop for (beaten only by swimwear, perhaps) is jeans. I don’t even want to count the number of times I’ve ended up staring at my own tragic reflection in a changing room mirror, jeans only up… Continue reading Switching up my denim style
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with intu Chapelfield “What’s the most *extra* item I can possibly find?” I thought, when deciding what I wanted to style for intu Chapelfield’s S/S 2018 Blogger Challenge. I assume that was the thought process anyway, since this is the result - and also since the shopping trip… Continue reading I hopped aboard the suit trend and it made me feel seriously sassy
My idea of nightmare attire is probably a stiff, close fitting, traditional grey work dress. Apologies, grey work dresses, or wearers of grey work dresses; I’m sure nice dresses that are grey that you could wear for work exist, but in this instance I see the grey work dress as a symbol of all the… Continue reading Making workwear more fun; ways to give your office ootd some personality
Something you probably won’t know about me; a few years ago it wasn’t unusual for me to spend evenings trawling ebay for vintage clothes and accessories, and still have a few of said pieces knocking about now (I used one of my vintage bags in this post). One of my most sought after items was… Continue reading Easy-to-wear vintage: a lookbook
Any holiday, event or occasion automatically causes me to reminisce on those from previous years. Does anyone else get that? I’m a contender for the Queen of ‘this time last year’ and every Christmas, birthday – even pancake day, for gods sake – you can bet that I'll be thinking of what we did, who… Continue reading Tales of Valentines Days past
I can still remember a particular time a couple of years ago that I was described by someone as ambitious, and without even thinking about it, ‘No I’m not!’ came out of my mouth in response. Clearly, I was not the same person then as I am now. It feels strange to have ever subscribed… Continue reading On owning your ambition
I wanted this title to be a beret pun, but hey, it’s late, and I don’t know any, so there’s a tongue twister relating to today’s topic of red accessories for you instead. Is there a colour you just never thought you would suit? I’ve had three; black (yes, that's right, I was convinced that… Continue reading Two scarlet style staples, because I can’t stop buying red stuff
Yesterday I had a small tantrum about a photo taken earlier in the day. Before we continue, let me say that I am painfully aware of how ridiculous that is and how I need to just fucking get a life and think about actual problems. Stick with me though, because it’s just an example of… Continue reading A note on doing your best
I consider sale shopping - along with crisp eating, overthinking, and using 1000 words when 100 will suffice, amongst others - to be in my top 10 skills. I know, I know; some can play an instrument, some can speak another language, and lots of people can do all manner of impressive things, but I… Continue reading The £20 outfit I found in the dregs of the January sales
Today I’m going to tell you about someone. You don’t know her, and I know her both very well and not at all. The not at all part is because she doesn’t exist. She is the person I always wanted to be, and the person I thought that I would be able to become, at… Continue reading Letting go of the girl I’ll never be
