I’ve always admired people who have a uniform. I’m not talking about soldiers, or nurses, or any of the hundreds of other professionals who have ACTUAL uniforms, here (Although I admire those people for other reasons): I’m talking about those people who have/had a style which is identifiably theirs. Audrey Hepburn. ...

[This post is a collaboration with Brabantia] Earlier this year, I started clearing out my closet... and I basically just never stopped. No, seriously: barely a day goes by right now without me casting a critical eye over the contents of my wardrobe, and, more often than not, pulling something out and ...
It's question time, again, folks! A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from lovely reader, Linnea, who wrote: As a fellow almost petite mum who feels that a large part of my wardrobe just feels wrong/don’t like a lot of my clothes anymore, do you have any tips on ...
I'm just going to be totally honest here: I don't really consider myself to be in much of a position to be handing out style tips. *Looks down at washed-out leggings and baggy sweater.* *Nope, definitely not in ANY kind of position to giving people style tips* Er, as you can probably tell ...
A few years ago, I wrote an article for another blog on how to wear red shoes, and I was quite surprised by some of the comments it got.For me, you see, red shoes have always been a closet essential: I have more pairs of them than I care to ...
I may not love winter, but man, do I LOVE winter coats: in fact, with the exception of my one true love, shoes (And, OK, there IS that designer handbag handbag habit, but I try not to think too hard about that...), they're the item I spend most money on, ...
Shopbop's latest sale event officially starts tomorrow, but Forever Amber readers are able to shop the sale today using the info in this post, so I thought I'd take a look at just a few of the items I've bought from the site* that I should probably have waited until ...
Remember that mysterious, large project I spent the first few months of the year working on? Well, here it is: Towards the end of last year, I was approached by a publisher, who asked if I'd be interested in working with them on a book on closet essentials, and after double-checking that ...
"How do you keep your shoes looking so new all the time?!" I get this question quite a lot - most often when I've posted a shoe photo on Instagram or something - and I always worry the questioner is going to be disappointed with my answer, which basically comes down ...
I've had a few fashion-related questions submitted through the 'Ask Me Anything' form in the sidebar lately, so I figured I'd put them all together into one post: and here it is! Raquel asked: Hi Amber! I have an intriguing question... You have your shoes beautifully organized in your walk-in-closet (that I ...
Clothing care might not be the most exciting topic out there (That would be shoe shopping, just FYI...), but nevertheless, I'm sure no one needs me to point out* that there's not much point in buying nice clothes if you're not going to look after them, is there? (*I'm going to ...
So, as I mentioned in Friday's post, last week Boden sent me a super-exciting package filled with items from their current collection: it was one of the best days of my life so far, and I'm not even joking, seriously. The mint green coat and sweater from that package will be the ...
Anyone ever tried to sell used clothes for cash? If you have, you probably know what a giant headache it can be. From fielding questions from people wanting to know which brand your Topshop dress is, to the constant queues at the post office, trying to sell used clothes can sometimes ...
You know how some people comfort eat? I comfort-shop. Yes, it's a thing. Because I said so. Over the past few weeks, I've lost a few pounds due to sheer stress and anxiety (and I'm pretty sure I've gained them back, too, thanks to my mum's determination to 'feed me up', which ...
