It’s Liv’s 13th birthday this week. I feel strangely emotional about it. I suppose 13 is a big deal. Suddenly your little girl is a little woman and although I have seen this happen gradually, there’s something very significant about the actual day they officially enter their teens. I am very excited for her, of course, but apprehensive too. I don’t think it’s easy being…
*This blog post contains affiliate links* Jumper – Wyse London Camel Coat – old but similar here (and currently half price!) Leather Leggings – Dom Goor Bag – Aurora London Style Vans Leather leggings, now there’s a wardrobe investment that you’ll never regret. I have had mine for years and there is no denying they were a LOT of money for a pair of…
*This blog post contains affiliate links* I am back home after an amazing couple of days in Nice with the Sky Atlantic. I won’t go into too much detail about the trip because I covered most of it over on stories and I think those that were interested would have tuned in, so probably best not to repeat it all here. But the highlights included…
After falling in love with the Chanel biker boots in duty free the other day, I have been on a biker boot mission. Even at their duty free price of £1050 they are wildly beyond my budget. I ordered the Zara dupes, which sadly just aren’t comfortable enough for me. Compared to the M&S boots I am wearing today, which were comfortable the minute…
I think it’s fairly easy to go a little coat crazy at this time of year. There are so many amazing high street coats on offer, with a plethora of styles and it’s easy to get lost in choice. Whenever I’m faced with too much choice and temptation I try to bring it back to basics and think about my purchases in terms of longevity.…
I’m sitting on a plane on my way back from Dubai listening to my husband, err, shall we say, ‘sleep’ 😊 I have to admit I’m feeling slightly envious. I really struggle to sleep on planes. Partly because I feel a bit anxious about being in the air, partly because I struggle to sleep anywhere other than a comfy bed (oh how I envy all…
*This blog post contains some affiliate links* If you told me I was only allowed one pair of shoes in my wardrobe, I’d have to choose trainers. They’re good for all seasons, versatile, comfortable, cool and go with absolutely everything. Trainers are definitely having their fashion moment and you’ll see those of the chunky variety every where you look. I have to say chunky trainers…
This old Zara leopard skirt has been such a useful item in my wardrobe. And as it’s no longer available I thought I would have a little look around to see if there was anything similar for you. The silk Rixo skirt that I blogged about last month sold out, but there is a beautiful version from Alice and Olivia (£300) if you have the budget…
Our friends threw the most fabulous party last night. Complete with a Lebanese kebab van and a silent disco. It was my first silent disco and I thought it was pure genius. No disturbing the neighbours AND (ahem, slightly showing my age here) no straining to hear and speak over loud music. Pop the headphones on when you want to dance (and sing, hopefully in…
