*Please note that this blog contains affiliate links* I am thrilled to be working with Topshop for the next few months, and with holiday season just around the corner, I thought I would focus on holiday dresses in this month’s edit. We are ridiculously excited for our holiday this year, as we are heading to Bali. For the last four years we have spent our…
*Please note this blog contains some affiliate links* I thought I would share the details of my every day jewellery here on the blog as it’s the question I am asked the most. I’m fairly conservative when it comes to jewellery, I tend to shy away from anything too big and bold. I really admire statement earrings on others, but when I wear them myself…
My seasonal switchover is complete. This week I put all my winter coats away (a bigger job than it might sound, and I have made a mental note to get selling as soon as the winter arrives!) and brought all of my summer clothes out of the loft. If I didn’t feel excited to wear something again, I put it aside in one of two…
I wore a red dress the other day and it reminded me how much I love wearing red. It’s such a mood enhancer. And not just your own, it seems to lift those you spend time with too. (An elderly gentleman I sat next to on the 70 bus told me so!) I have worn red to a few weddings over the years and seeing…
I’ve had a few requests for a packing post recently, and more specifically, what to pack for a city break. So, I dreamt up a weekend in Barcelona with Nick next weekend and put my packing cap on. (I actually loathe packing more than picking up my children’s socks, but strangely, packing for a pretend trip was a lot more enjoyable.) In reality next weekend…
This might be my unsexiest blog post to date, you have been warned! But every now and then I make a beauty discovery that feels so life-changing I want to shout it from the rooftops. Alas, I’m afraid of heights, so my blog is the next best thing… I’ll admit, there have been a few beauty discoveries in the past that I have used religiously…
*Please note this post contains affiliate links and gifted items* Nick and I have been invited to the Chelsea Flower Show this year (through his work, not mine) and I am chuffed to bits. I have been a couple of times before, and it really is such an enjoyable event. The design gardens are always inspiring, but my favourite part has to be the floral…
Hello! How are you? Apart from my wrist, I am really well. In a funny kind of way this tendonitis has forced me to slow down and the digital time has been replaced with turning pages of a book, sorting out things around the house and LOTs of gardening. I’ve felt a sense of calm that I haven’t felt for months. It has made me…
Last week I asked what you would like to see more of over on Insta-stories, and so many responded with beauty, with particular mentions for both evening and morning routines, so I thought I would share my current beauty regime here on the blog. I say ‘current’ because I get sent lots of new products to try, and while I don’t like to change my…
*This post contains affiliate links* Back in the day when I used to read lots of magazines, one of my favourite pages was the Splurge/Save page. So I thought I would make it a regular feature on the blog, if something catches my eye. I returned a pair of shoes to Dune yesterday and spotted this gorgeous bag. I have been after a white handbag…
