Everyone knows what God got up to on Days 1 – 7, when he was creating the world. What most people don’t know, however, is that on Day 8, God woke up with that sinking feeling, and realised there was something he’d forgotten. All of a sudden, it came to him: …
For my second pick as part of the Unique Vintage Style Society, I once again played true-to-type, with the beautiful ‘Abbey’ dress by Stop Staring. Now, if you’re a regular reader, I’m sure I won’t have to explain why I picked this dress: you all know by now that green, 50s-inspired …
“What’s this?” I hear you ask – “Two ‘Casual Fridays’ in a row? Who is this woman, and what has she done with Amber?!” OK, so I probably won’t keep this up for long, but the weather has made it easier to take outfit photos lately, and as you can probably …
A few years ago I was on holiday in L.A., and I was in a Cheesecake Factory of all places when, flipping through the menu, I came across an advert for Unique Vintage. Now, I was aware of the Unique Vintage website, which is an Alladin’s cave of retro-inspired loveliness, but …
A couple of weeks ago I had a reader request for some more Casual Friday posts (Shout-out to Bee, if you’re reading!) and honestly, that’s all the encouragement I need a lot of the time, so here I am, awkward hand position and all! (Er, I was in the process of …
Happy (belated) Easter, everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend, if you had time off: ours was super-sunny, which was amazing, and meant that it was FINALLY warm enough for me to ditch the tights, and break out some spring florals – yay! The florals in question came courtesy …
OMG, you guys, it’s spring! It’s actually officially been spring since last Friday, which, as I mentioned in my weekly roundup post, dawned dull and overcast, meaning that we got to see the solar eclipse through a haze of cloud-cover. As I said to Terry later, though, once the eclipse was …
As March is almost over (Insert appropriately amazed “Where does all the time go?!” statement here…), here’s quick look at my most-shared outfits of the month on Pinterest… [Original post] Most of this month’s outfits had a very “floral” theme, which I guess is appropriate for spring! I know Miranda Priestly …
Early spring tends to be a time of year when I find myself wearing trousers a lot more than usual. It’s still way too cold for bare legs, but I can just about cope with bare ankles, and even if I couldn’t, I’m so sick of having to wearing tights all …
Just to get the awkwardness out of the way first: no, I did not walk around all day clutching a bouquet of flowers, just because they matched my skirt. Not going to say I didn’t consider it, obviously, but damn, those things are heavier than they look! No, as you may …
It was my birthday yesterday (It’s OK, you don’t have to say anything: I’m not a Birthday Person) (A Birthday Person is a person made entirely from cake, streamers and greeting cards, by the way. They’re a bit like Christmas People, only scarier, on account of all the candles…), and, much …
Well, it’s March already, which means I’m totally going to start pretending its spring already, even although it’s nowhere near spring, and why yes, it IS still a bit too cold for trench coats, now that you come to mention it! In my defence, and because I know you all worry …
I wrote about my love of fashion “uniforms” last week, so I guess it’s only fitting that my very next outfit post should feature one of mine! Full skirt? Check. Fitted/cropped top? Check. High heels? That would be a check… I wear some variation on this outfit at least a couple …
