I’m doing that thing again – the thing where I convince myself that every outfit post has to have a deep and meaningful element, or some kind of insightful purpose, or just a ‘point’ beyond what I’m wearing. Beyond the fact that they probably don’t have to have those things, this seems a little rich,… Continue reading A red puffer jacket (and nothing more profound)
Here is a list of things I have done rather than start this blog post, which was the one thing I really wanted to do this evening: Applied some unnecessary lotions and potions to my face Edited some photos Left what can only be described as ‘fuckloads’ of comments on you lovely people’s Instagram photos… Continue reading This is why perfectionism is productivity’s worst enemy
In recent weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about the way that creativity and inspiration come – and go - in waves. I suppose in some ways, this has been on my mind because I’m going through quite a busy period; I’ve lacked the headspace for anything other than the most mediocre of posts on… Continue reading The ebb and flow of creativity
Never did I ever…think that I would write a post for the fashion category of my blog about cardigans. It’s happening though, guys; the cardigan is back and I'm actually wearing one. It’s been quite difficult to avoid them until now if I’m honest, because they’ve been all over the place for the last few… Continue reading Return of the cardigan
Lately I’ve not really felt like my best self, so I'd like to invite you to what is shaping up to be some kind of personal therapy session, because today I'm going to go into why. I highly doubt there will be a structure to this post but I suspect it could be a long… Continue reading Can I get a refill, please?
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
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
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
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
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
