I’ve found lots of fabulous things on Vinted over the last few months, including this big collar floral print blouse by Twisted Wunder. As soon as I saw it I didn’t hesitate in buying it, especially as it was only £5! I love both the print and the big collar. The hearts look they’re smiling, […]
Striped Blazer with a Yellow Blouse and Orange Trousers
Happy Wednesday! How’s your week going so far? I’m a day late posting the link up this week because I’ve been struggling with this horrendous cough. I was at work yesterday and I was completely shattered due to the broken sleep. That medicine that was supposed to knock me out didn’t really do anything. I […]
Caring for Lips in Cold Weather
Cold weather can leave your lips feeling tight before you have even taken off your coat. Wind outdoors, warm rooms indoors and the temptation to lick a dry patch can make everyday discomfort harder to settle. Caring for Lips in Cold Weather starts with a gentle routine you can repeat: protect them before going out, […]
Valentine’s Day Gift Guide 2024
If you’re looking for a last minute Valentine’s Day gift – either to give or to drop hints – then I have some fabulous ideas! (Remember, you could purchase a gift card online if you’re not sure which piece to choose or don’t have enough time for postage). You probably know how much I love […]
How to Wear Pink in Winter
Pink can bring a welcome lift to winter clothes, whether you prefer a quiet rose shade or a bright raspberry. The trick is to consider the colour alongside the fabrics and practical pieces you already wear when it is cold. A pink shirt can look entirely at home beneath a charcoal coat; a rose skirt […]
Purple and Orange Check Suit
You may remember seeing this purple and orange check suit before. When I featured it on the blog last March I teamed it with a purple top and bag. This time I’ve highlighted the orange in the print with my top and bag. There’s also rust, tan and pink in the mix so there’s more […]
Red Alert! January Style Not Age
bHappy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. It’s the last Monday of the month…finally. January really does drag, doesn’t it? It feels more like two months since Christmas. Jacqui chose the theme of Red Alert! for January’s Style Not Age theme. Red is never not on trend (well, in my opinion anyway!) but […]
How to Wear Black Without Looking Flat
Black is easy to reach for, but an outfit made entirely from dark pieces can sometimes lose its definition. A jumper merges into trousers, a dress disappears beneath a coat, and details you liked on the hanger become hard to see. You do not need a bright colour or a new purchase to change that. […]
Double Leopard Print With a Touch of Red
Yesterday’s post whetted my appetite for leopard print! Today, I’m wearing a different pair of trousers (I know, you’re wondering why I’ve got two pairs of wide leg leopard print trousers!). These are more of an everyday pair in terms of fabric and length. The others are a satin type material and are wider and […]
Yellow Faux Fur Coat
The decorations are gone and January is already living up to its reputation as being a difficult month; my mum moved in with us last week but after only a few days she’s back in hospital. It’s not serious, but certainly not the start we’d hoped for. We’re hoping she’ll be back home with us […]
