*This post contains affiliate links* With just 8 days of Second Hand September to go, I thought I would share my experience. I’ll be honest, it hasn’t been easy and I have been on countdown all month! I have also experienced a few moments when I have felt a loss of identity and a loss of purpose. I guess that shouldn’t be much of a…
*This post was written in collaboration with Topshop* (AD) and contains affiliate links* My go-to outfit for a night out is usually ‘jeans and a nice top’. It’s easy, it’s comfortable and will also take you seamlessly from day to night. So for this month’s edit I wanted to focus on finding those ‘nice tops’ we want but can never find! Palermo Prairie Star Print…
This year we decided to do something a little different from our usual beach/villa holiday in Greece and travel a little further (okay a lot!) to experience somewhere completely new and different. I’ll be honest, the ‘we’ I refer to was mainly me. You see, I’m about to turn 42 and having grown up in South Africa and only set foot on a plane age…
Question : I have a 20 year school reunion brunch in London at the end of Septmeber. What does one wear? A dress? Heels might be too much at that time of day? Some of us have had kids, some high powered careers, people are flying in from Hong Kong. Stress! Help! First of all, I feel your stress! I would be the same. Seeing…
*This post contains affiliate links* For this month’s partnership with Topshop, I chose a few pieces that have already proven to be very useful and infinitely wearable. First up the khaki shacket. A piece that no wardrobe should be without. It’s the perfect addition to most outfits and will be so useful in the transitioning months ahead of us. My existing khaki jacket which I…
*The following blog post contains some affiliate links* Since we returned from Bali (which was absolute heaven for interiors inspiration) I haven’t really been too focussed on fashion. Perhaps it’s something to do with the approach of the change of season. I have all the summer clothes I need and I am not quite ready to think about Autumnal fashion just yet. (Perhaps because it’s…
*This post may contain affiliate links* I was after a vintage looking cotton kaftan to take to Bali and had found several beautiful pieces on independent and designer websites, but they all came with a hefty price tag. Having been lucky enough to visit India a couple of times, I knew that I was paying over the odds, so I decided to have a look…
*Please note that this post contains affiliate links* I am very excited to share this month’s Topshop edit with you. There are a few real gems that I think would help form the foundations of a capsule wardrobe and I approached this edit with the 30 wears principle in mind. I am always checking the ‘new in’ denim section at Topshop, because I don’t think…
*This post contains affiliate links* Lancome Hypnose – £25.50 Clinique High Impact Waterproof – £19.50 Bobbi Brown ‘No Smudge’ – £25 Holiday season is upon us, and I have been thinking about my summer eyelash dilemma. I have very sensitive eyes and wear contact lenses, and truthfully I have never been a big fan of waterproof mascara. I don’t like battling to remove my mascara…
When the weather warms up, I tend to swap my leather handbags for basket bags. I’ve done an edit of the sales and have also found some real bargains, so if you are in need of a basket bag that won’t break the bank, have a look at the bags I’ve found at Matalan below. *This post contains affiliate links*…
