I had planned to include these photos of my fabulous new silky green pyjamas in last week’s post, but then I thought they deserved a post of their own! Confession time: I have been sleeping in some old raggy pyjama bottoms and a T-shirt for ages now and I seriously needed an upgrade! These are […]
Powder Blue and Green
You may remember me previously mentioning my favourite shop in Funchal, Madeira, where I buy several pieces each time I visit. Well, one of the brands they stock is Elsa. M by May. Over the last few years I’ve bought quite a few tops by this label, including the pink frill sleeve top, the black […]
Stripes and Frills
Outfits with me wearing jeans are like buses – none for ages then two in quick succession! Monday’s Style Not Age post prompted me to go through my stash of denim and try a few pairs on. I realised that I’d never actually worn these before. I wanted to pair this frilly blouse with jeans […]
What You Need to Know About the Safety of Coloured Contact Lenses
In previous posts, I’ve paired colourful outfits with bold eyewear. However, you don’t always need to wear specs or sunglasses. Sometimes you may wish to alter the colour of your eyes for your outfit, using coloured contact lenses. I used to wear them frequently in my 20s (hazel, green and violet were my favourites). However, […]
Animal Prints and Pastel Shades
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 […]
Neon Check Blazer
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. This neon check blazer had me reaching for my sunglasses though! There’s no denying that I have a blazer addiction. They are my favourite […]
Citrus Spring Hues
If you were wondering why I didn’t post the link up yesterday, basically it was the weather’s fault! It tipped it down with rain and hail most of the day, only drying up as the light went. Typical. Today was a much better day, which gave me the motivation to put some nice clothes on, […]
Flowers and Pastel Shades
I hope you all had a lovely Easter! Apart from working yesterday I didn’t do much. Although the weather has been unsettled I wanted to put together an outfit that encapsulates spring. The starting point was this cute smiley face faux fur bag that I found on Vinted. Someone I follow (Faye @charity_shop_gal) has one […]
How to Create Memorable Gift Boxes for Special Occasions
If you’ve been paying attention to holiday shopping trends in the past couple of years, you may have noticed that more and more businesses are coming out with customised limited-edition gift boxes. Many of these come with limited edition items as well as fancy packaging that’s designed to be shared on today’s social media platforms. […]
Transitional Dressing From Winter to Spring
Choosing weather-appropriate clothing at this time of year is like trying to hit a moving target; one minute it’s sunny, the next it’s raining. You have to be prepared for the frequent changes, and the way to do that is with layering. I’ve picked out my favourite items from Very‘s Spring range that make transitional […]
