What's the cost-per-wear of your clothes? When I wrote about my move towards "minimalism" a few weeks ago, a couple of you commented on the importance, not just of getting rid of things, but of making sure you don't just instantly go out and replace them again - and all I ...
So, now that we have (most of) the house organised, it's time to move onto my wardrobe - which is a much trickier prospect. The problem here, you see, is that I have plenty of clothes that "spark joy" - if we're going by the Marie Kondo method of organising and ...
So, we got snowed in. AGAIN. The Snow Gods are obviously angry. Our sacrifice was apparently not enough - as Terry discovered last week when he optimistically tried to leave the house to meet a client, only to have to almost immediately turn round and head home again when he realised every ...
When I posted this outfit on my Instagram Story last week, I got a couple of messages from people expressing their surprise that I was able to get into the skirt. Here's the great thing about circle skirts, though: they only have to fit you at the waist. You don't have ...
I'm back in business, folks: well, sort of... ... I mean, it's February 19th: this is my first outfit post of the year (Actually, it's my first outfit post since LAST NOVEMBER, GOD), and it's just a boring jeans-n-sweater combo, so I feel a bit like I've dropped the "fashion blogger" ...
There are certain events in everyone's lives that have the ability to split everything into 'Before' and 'After'- and nothing that occurs in The After can ever be the same as it was in The Before. I remember when my gran died, I scribbled out the date on the calendar that ...
So, first of all, these photos were taken a couple of weeks ago (Because that's how we roll now, apparently), so don't worry - we haven't had an unexpected slide back into winter, although there's still plenty of time for that, don't you worry. Secondly: when I said I'd bought "a ...
That low winter sun is at it again, folks. (And yes, I'm very aware that I've spent the whole winter complaining about the lack of sunshine, and now I have the gall to complain about the presence of it, but what can I say: "fickle" is my middle name.) (Note: it isn't. ...
There are few things in life I like more than a classic camel coat. Well, that and miniature ponies, obviously, but everyone likes miniature ponies, don't they? (Please don't comment to say you hate miniature ponies: my faith in humanity is shaky enough right now, and I'm just not sure it ...
When I promised you all a post on the mint green Boden dreamcoat earlier last week, I had absolutely no idea just how difficult it was going to be to keep that promise. The first time I wore the coat, you see, I left it so late to try to take photos ...
Remember that mild cold I was complaining about last week? The one I was really hoping wouldn't get any worse? Yeah, it got worse. Actually, by the time that post went live, it was so much worse that I was pretty sure I had the flu, not just the cold. (And also ...
I can't believe it's the middle of January, and I'm just getting round to publishing my first outfit post of the year. Actually, scratch that: I CAN believe it. (The lack of outfit posts, I mean, not the fact that it's the middle of January. I really can't quite believe that...) ...
Well, 2016 may have been one of the worst years of my life so far, but I'm relieved to say that it's going out on a good note: I got discharged from hospital! Yes, after 8 weeks of blood tests, scans and non-stop stress, yesterday morning we drove to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary ...
I wasn't going to post these photos. I mean, let's be honest: I'm dressed like a cartoon cat burglar, aren't I? There's just no ignoring it: in fact, I couldn't have made this outfit look MORE like a cat burglar if I'd tried. Which I didn't, just for the record: seriously, ...
I have this cupboard under the stairs that I'm scared to go into. No, seriously: that thing is such a mess that the only way I can deal with it is by pretending it doesn't exist. When I have to take something out of it, I do it as quickly as ...
