Black Friday, love it or loathe it, but it’s here to stay and we all love a bargain don’t we. 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 give them a click just […]
This post is sponsored by Joanie. It’s a brand I’ve been a fan of since they launched back in 2016. Around the same time I started writing this blog. I like that they know what works for them and they do it very well. The range isn’t exhaustive, they stick with classic vintage style designs […]
This post is sponsored by Charlotte Tilbury. I’m pretty sure I don’t have to tell you much about this brand as I am guessing that a lot of you own something from here already. A very quick recap for those who are not familiar: Charlotte Tilbury was (and still is) a world-renowned makeup artist, working […]
Throughout my life I’ve run the gamut of mini skirts. I think it started when I got my first ra-ra skirt at about age eight. I recall it in great detail. It was white with two tiers. Each tier was edged with satin ribbon in red and blue. It was a thing of beauty. From […]
First up, this is never an easy one. especially as I don’t have teenage girls, but I know a few and I still feel like I’m 17 half the time so I’ve gone with what I would still like. Boys, I’m better at as I have 2 teens at home. There’s a few things in […]
It’s always about this time of year that thoughts turn to the C word…. No, not Covid (did that last week), not Christmas (still a week too early for that, although I have put up my garden fairy lights) but COLD. In particular, cold weather coats and, even more specific, the puffy coat. This is […]
Welcome to the Home Gift guide. I’m trying to keep these gift lists simple and easy to negotiate, so I’ve sectioned into price brackets. Hope this is useful and that you get a little bit of present buying inspiration. I will do a fashion gift guide and a teen gift guide over the next few […]
I was going to call this ‘Coats in the Time of Covid’ as I finally succumbed to the dreaded C virus this week, but no-one wants to be reminded of the shit show that’s still ongoing, so I stuck with ‘Get Your Coat’. I’m ‘fine’, thanks for asking. At the time of writing I’m not […]
This post is sponsored by Elemis. Regular readers (and my actual friends) will know that I bang on about this brand quite a lot. With good reason. Elemis has made up 80% of my beauty routine for the past few years. I do mix it up with other products every so often of course, but […]
We could call this six outfits that I’d like to wear, have worn recently or might wear in a fantasy life where I spend all my money on more Gucci. But that might be a bit long-winded for an article title, so we shall stick with six outfits to wear right now. It’s based on […]
I know how annoying it is when your favourite Sunday supplement decides to replace its regular women’s fashion with a ‘Men’s style special‘, so I’m doing this mid-week so as to protect myself from a massive eye-roll and a humph-off-in-a-strop-elsewhere from regular readers. But I have to say I feel for our gentlemen friends as […]
