I know it’s still very much November, but the John Lewis Christmas advert is here (and it made me well up, but I still like the Argos one more) so that means it’s safe to start thinking festive thoughts. One of those festive thoughts is ‘What the hell am I going to wear to the […]
Are Checks the Autumn / Winter equivalent to Florals in the Spring? Groundbreaking… I rarely think about checks in the summer, with the exception of gingham dresses of course, but as the nights draw in, I feel compelled to break them all out, Tartan, Houndstooth, Blanket and, at a push, Windowpane. Is Blanket an actual […]
I was going to name this post ‘November Neutrals’, but as I went on the hunt for the clothes I wanted to feature, there were so many great items that didn’t necessarily fall in into the ‘Neutral’ category. Hello Orange checked jacket and green cord skirt, I’m talking about you. So here we are with […]
Is there really an art to layering? I don’t know, is it lost? no, probably not. But it is the time of year when you have to think about your layers. Some days it’s still not really cold enough to bust out the big winter coats. The winter coats that you bought last month in […]
Are these classics? I don’t know, but what I do know is that they are definitely Corduroy, and I love Corduroy. It screams Autumn to me. I know that when there’s a chill in the air I can bust out the cords and that makes me happy. It brings to mind a Country Casual vibe, […]
Marks and Spencer got word that I’ve finally stopped ridiculing their Per Una range! They got in touch the other week and asked if I’d like to check out the new collection properly and show you the pieces I liked the most. They have paid me for my time, but they had zero creative or […]
It’s definitely sweater weather in the Manor my friends. That is a reference to a Kano song. I am well aware that neither you, nor I are target market for original Grime material, but I worked with him this past week and he’s incredibly handsome. That has nothing whatsoever to do with this post, or […]
Sorry that everytime I blog about Coats, I title it ‘I’ll Get My Coat’. I’ve tried to think of other witty headings, but I’ve got nothing… I would say that after shoes and boots, coats are my favourite items of clothing. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s because you will wear and wear a good […]
You asked for it, so here it is. The Big Boot Edit. Apologies in advance if you’re looking for knee-highs, they didn’t make the cut, because, frankly, I ran out of time, but I will try and include some in future posts if you can wait a while. What I have focused on are my […]
Stop Press! I’m doing a dress post without going hell for leather on the shapeless buffet dress! In fact, I haven’t featured any in the main outfit pictures. What’s got into me? Well, I have become fully aware that not everyone can do a loose sack dress, it just doesn’t sit right on some figures […]
