I’m a big fan of co-ords and trouser suits because they make for easy and fuss-free styling. Co-ords are great for summer and holidays, whether they include shorts, skirts or trousers. With some strategic packing you can mix and match to make multiple outfits. Brightly coloured trouser suits are my outfit of choice for work. […]

After the recent heatwave, temperatures have dropped and the weather is feeling a teeny bit autumnal at times. It’s typical of late August really; the nights are drawing in and it can feel chilly when the sun goes down. A shirt dress is a really useful piece for this time of year because you can […]

If you often find yourself looking in the mirror and deciding that a given outfit is lacking a certain touch of flair, then the right accessories might be just what’s required. Just a few well-judged touches can be enough to take a basic-looking outfit to the next level. But exactly which items should you be […]

Ageing is inevitable, but sacrificing style and grace is not. Sure, we all enter different seasons of life, and our tastes and preferences naturally ebb and flow. But there is no such thing as an “age limit” when it comes to fashion; embrace it at every major milestone. Every woman deserves a wardrobe that makes […]

My feet have barely touched the ground this week! So much going on and too many things to do. Time seems to speed up when there’s a deadline looming (like getting ready to go away) and before I know it I’m in a tailspin racing here there and everywhere. Mum is still in hospital and […]

Reconfiguring your wardrobe often has less to do with purchasing new items and more about breathing new life into the pieces you already own. Every fashionable flair starts with a little creativity and an understanding of how to mix and match the various items in your closet. Rediscover your style potential without the need for […]

How’s your week going so far? I started the week with a scratchy throat and cold – just as the weather took a turn for the worse. The lovely sunshine has taken a hike and I had to dig out a thick jumper yesterday morning! I got up early because Isobel was meant to be […]

Butter yellow seems to be THE colour of the season, and while I generally prefer brighter shades of yellow, I have fully bought into it. Well, when I say that, I mean I bought this top on Vinted. I’ve also searched through the “archives” (aka suitcases) for anything in spring’s go-to colour. I’m very pale […]

I’ve found some absolute gems on Vinted and eBay over the years, but this coat is one of, if not, THE best! Now, I have a bit of an addiction to colourful faux fur, but this coat is really special. Fans of the BBC comedy Alma’s Not Normal would say it’s iconic. Where to get […]

I went so long without wearing jeans, and then like buses, two styles came along that are now part of my regular casual wardrobe. First the Marks and Spencer palazzo style, and then these barrel leg jeans. They make a change from joggers, which is what I often wear when I’m at home. Wearing an elevated casual […]
