Winter has definitely arrived this week. It’s been cold, damp and there’s even been a threat of snow – maybe those of you in the far north actually got some. It has definitely been chilly enough to warrant digging into the coat pile in the ‘cupboard of doom’ to locate your puffer coat or your […]
Do you remember when, I think it was Elle magazine, did those articles showing you how to ‘get the look for less’? I’m pretty sure it was called ‘spree v steal’, so I’ve blatantly copied that title for this post. I was going to do a general round-up of my favourite designer bags, but as […]
This post is sponsored by Free People. On this occasion I’ve picked out some party-ready items, some winter warmers and a smattering of great dresses and footwear. There is a LOT to choose from on their vast site, so a condensed edit is called for. You’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties. I […]
First up, I’m not sure if it’s hi-tops or high-tops, but you know what I’m talking about, so today we are running with hi-tops for the sole reason it’s two letters less for me to type. You may also think at this point, ‘Hold on, I’m too old for this kind of shoe caper’, but […]
I had to add a gift guide for all the smaller independent brands that I love. I get a lot of questions particularly about jewellery and I always like to support the sole traders and the small businesses when I’m buying a cheeky little gift for myself. Or others, but let’s be honest, I would […]
When I say ‘for her’, what I really mean, is ‘here’s a load of stuff that I personally love’, so I figure, if I like it, you might too. You could use this for buying for others, or just send it over to the person buying for you. If that someone is feeling flush, may […]
For the man in your life. I’ve tried to steer clear of the obvious (and boring) and focus just on things that took my fancy. Will they take the fancy of the man in your life? Who knows, frankly, they are strange breed, but here are some ideas for you. You just know that my […]
Black Friday, love it or loathe it, it’s here to stay and we all do like a good bargain in the run up to Christmas. I’ve kept it simple again this year with a list of codes and offers. There’s quite a few small brands in there again too, if you don’t recognise them, maybe […]
You may know Reformation for their dresses, particularly their cute summer dresses, but they also do some really great knitwear and denim. Reformation actually began by selling vintage clothing out of a small, Los-Angeles-based shop in 2009. They quickly expanded into designing and selling their own products with a real focus on sustainability. Most of […]
Last week we had a look at some sparkly party gear so I thought – to balance things out a bit – we would do some comfy and cosy clothes. I, for one, know which I prefer. In fact, the thought of having to dress up properly with heels and makeup and all that jazz […]
