I know I promised winter dresses this week, but I got swept up in watching the new series of The Crown and, almost solely for my own amusement, I wanted to see if I could find modern day items that are inspired by some of the costumes from the series. Plus I really enjoyed doing […]
Usually my husband is happy with booze for any birthday or Christmas presents. I’m with him on that, but sometimes you need to think about it a bit more. Clothes are always a good option as (sweeping generalisation) most men either rarely shop for themselves and often when they do, you are left wishing they […]
First up, don’t turn away if you’re not a fan of the mighty Styles. This isn’t a blog about men’s fashion, or a fan page about his beauty, well, OK, it is kind of that a bit, but I have noticed that a lot of Harry’s recent outfits can be interpreted for us all to […]
I’m on a roll with my gift guides, that’s 2 in 3 days! I have to admit that this one is right up my street. I love gifts for the home but I often feel guilty about buying myself too many throw cushions. Weirdly I don’t feel that way about buying myself endless dresses… What […]
I wasn’t going to do any gift guides this year, but then I thought, why not. It gives me an excuse to peruse the internet for things I might like and look at nice things for a while. Plus I know how helpful it can be to have some recommended products all in one place. […]
Here we go again. Lockdown Loungewear Part 2. The revenge. It’s like Groundhog day, but without Bill Murray, the fun or the Beaver. Was it a Beaver? First time around it was new, there was some hope it might get better when summer came. This time it’s the same sense of dread but colder, darker […]
It’s definitely sweater weather. Somewhat soggy sweater weather for those of us in London. Apparently it’s been the wettest October on record here in the Capital. Another fantastic stat to add to all the wonderful things that have happened so far in 2020. I for one, can’t wait to see what special surprises this winter […]
What do you need more than ever this winter? You need layers. Lots of them. The nights are drawing in, literally, it will be dark by 5pm today here in the UK now that the clocks have gone back. I’m not a fan of this. I don’t need to herd my cattle at 6am, (or […]
Corduroy. I’ve been writing this blog for just over 4 years now and I think I’ve covered corduroy at this time every year. Not everyone will be on board with this but I bloody love corduroy. It’s one of those things like navy trousers, grey cashmere jumpers, jeans and buffet dresses that I have a […]
Firstly, don’t turn off if you don’t have a dog to walk, this post is for anyone wanting to get out and about in the highways and byways around their area in any weathers. I’ve spent the past 6 months going for my daily walks solo. At the start of lockdown at least I had […]
