Finally it’s sandal weather! It feels like it’s been a long time coming. I’ve been eager to test my new sandals from Strive and it was worth the wait! This is my second pair from the brand and they are absolute saviours for my feet. (I’m having surgery on my right foot later in the […]

A waistcoat gives a spring outfit a little structure without the weight of a jacket. You can wear one over a cotton shirt, combine it with everyday denim or button it as a top when the weather allows. The useful starting point is deciding what you want it to do. A waistcoat chosen as an […]

It’s already late April and the weather continues to be disappointing. I remember in 2020 during the first lockdown we had glorious warm weather. No sunbathing this Spring that’s for sure.
