Outfit Post: Accessorise For Spring
Trousers, Gap // Pumps, Primark // Denim Jacket, New Look // Tote Bag, c/o TK Maxx // Breton Top, New Look // Scarf, TK Maxx I don’t really have a spring/summer wardrobe apart from a few extra key accessories and a couple of pairs of ankle cropped trousers to update my usual look. You see that little bit of pasty white skin below my black trousers? That’s about as much flesh I will comfortably bare until I’m forced to don a summer dress. Nevertheless,…

Style: Spring/Summer Basics

I’d love to overhaul my wardrobe completely (who wouldn’t?) and fill it with cobalt blues, poppy reds and mustard yellows, alas our savings aren’t as healthy as they once were after 3 fun-filled weeks down under. So I thought I’d do the next best thing and compile a wish list of key Spring pieces that…

At Home: Make Room For Your Life
Each year, roughly three months in, I go through the same routine. I take a look around and spy an array of mess; a cluttered dressing table, a messy sewing box, bills in the DIY drawer instead of in files, shoes by the door instead of in their storage baskets, bags hung at the end of the bed, and endless drawers, once tidy, now full of ‘stuff’. ‘Stuff’ does not make me happy and ‘stuff’ is getting in my way.…

Style: 5 Colourful Raincoats
My mission this month, the next and going forward is to wear a plethora (I like that word) of colourful, bright clothing, if only to cheer myself up. That’s good enough excuse as any, right? However my friends, as much as I’d like to share a page full of pretty dresses and cheerful ballet pumps, we’re not quite there yet weather wise (stares at blanket of snow outside front door). So, I’m looking at practical clobber to shoo off the…

Home: 5 Stay in Bed Duvet Covers
Living in rental accommodation can mean there’s a limited amount of decorating you can do to make your home exactly how you’d like it. Luckily we have lovely landlords who allow us to hang pictures, paint, wallpaper etc but there is only so much you want to do, without spending too much money. Which is why I adore textiles. A cushion, a curtain, even a tea towel can change the feel and warmth of a room for the better but…
