‘Fancy’ is probably the wrong word for this dress. I mean, by most people’s standards, it’s not all that fancy, really. It’s not like it’s the kind of thing you could only wear to a ball, say (Do people go to balls? Other than Cinderella, obviously?), or to the kind of …
Last week I read this post about the concept of writing a ‘Not My Style’ list, as a way to help define your personal style. Now, to be completely honest, I don’t think I really NEED to write a list of the things I don’t like in order to know what my …
Confession: I did intend this outfit to be pulled together from my spring capsule wardrobe, but I took the photos before I wrote the post, and I totally forgot to add this sweater to it: whoops! I guess this at least illustrates why I don’t have a “proper” capsule wardrobe, …
You know how people are always saying they like it when bloggers wear the same things over and over again, because it’s so much more “relatable” or something? I’m REALLY hoping people actually mean it when they say that, because oh hey, look, it’s that white blazer again! Worn with the same …
The night before we flew out to Tenerife, I became totally convinced that I couldn’t possibly leave the country without a white blazer. It was kind of weird, actually. I mean, I can’t even remember the last time I wore this blazer, and I was travelling somewhere that would hopefully be …
Happy Easter, everyone! I know I’ve said it before (one of the fun things about getting older is that you start to repeat yourself all the time, and no one can say anything about it. Or they can, but you can pretend not to remember, so it’s all good in the …
So, a strange thing happened… … I kind of lost interest in the types of clothes I normally wear. I haven’t lost interest in clothes in general, I hasten to add – quite the opposite, in fact. It’s just the style of clothes that’s a little bit different, and whereas normally at …
I expect you’re all probably pretty sick of hearing British people complain about the weather by now, huh? I don’t blame you. If it’s any consolation, complaining about the weather IS our national pastime, it’s true, but we’re pretty sick of it now too, really. We can’t help it, though, because …
Before we go any further with this post, let’s just get one thing straight: this skirt isn’t ‘Pandora’s’: it’s mine. And I’m not giving it up without a fight. The skirt IS actually called ‘Pandora’, however, and it’s been hanging on the back of my dressing room door for about four …
This outfit was inspired entirely by the wind. I’ve always maintained that windy days are the hardest ones to dress for. If it’s cold, you can wrap up; if it’s raining, you can carry an umbrella – if it’s windy, though, you basically have to resign yourself to arriving everywhere looking …
I took these photos last week, as part of the Boden by Me campaign, in which Boden are asking their fans to upload photos of themselves wearing their favourite pieces from the brand to their social media accounts, using the hashtag #BodenByMe. The idea is that the photos will then be …
So, as you’ve probably worked out by now, for this ‘Casual Friday’ series (now into its third week in a row, people: go, me!), I’m choosing to interpret “casual” as simply “outfits in which I’m wearing trousers”. By doing that, I can totally get away with wearing stilettos and whatever else …
