Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to spend a night at Soho Farmhouse with Hush to preview their new collection which launches TODAY. Soho Farmhouse has been on my wishlist of places to stay ever since it opened. My husband is an ‘Every House’ member but trying to find a night away together without the children has proved harder than trying to…
(Please note – All links followed by * are affiliate links) I fell in love with this dress from Free People during a recent ASOS rummage. It has a slight vintage, ‘Ossie Clark’ feel to it and the detail is amazing. It flatters in all the right places and I love the shirring on the sleeves and the waist. Unfortunately I don’t have a wedding…
There’s one outfit that I tend to default to in the Spring. A statement blouse, my favourite jeans and a pair of flat mules. I use the term ‘statement’ loosely here. It doesn’t mean I have a slogan emblazoned across my chest, and the fabric doesn’t have to be loud and colourful. For me, the statement could be the simple beauty of a plain silk…
I was lying in bed the other night watching ‘Keeping Faith’ on my iPad (totally brilliant, by the way. It’s currently on BBC I-player, download it before it drops off) when something small and silver flickered past my face. ‘That was a moth’ said my husband in his voice of doom. I won’t repeat the words that came out of my mouth at that moment,…
Finally, the sunshine has made an appearance in the UK which means it’s time to get the summer clothes down, have a good sort out and make way for a few new pieces. I have so many clothes that I need to sell (I have set up a Depop account called ‘chloelovestoshop’ and plan to list them on there) and a few that I can…
It’s been a little while since I blogged, so this might be another ‘just have to tell you about this’ type blog. Bare with me… First of all, I have been desperate for the Balance Me Gradual tanning drops to launch. I was given a bottle to try at a recent event and have used them religiously since. I mix three or four drops with…
Can you believe that Beast is coming back for Easter? Who on Earth invited him?! This means that we can’t pack away the faux furs and heavy coats just yet, but I like to think that moment isn’t too far away. So I thought I would do a round up of my top 5 cover ups for Spring/Summer The Trench Coat This has to be…
As many of you know, I am such a fan of the high street and fully paid subscriber to the ‘high/low’ dressing club. Because, let’s face it, you could have all the money in the world and a wardrobe full of designer clothes, but that wouldn’t guarantee you great style. For me, stylish dressing is about mixing it up, working with a budget to find…
I have always looked after my skin, but it’s probably only in the last few years that I have started to include regular facials into my skincare regime. Since turning 40 I have noticed that my skin needs a little more help than I alone can give it at home and I have really started to notice the benefits of having regular facials. But…
I recently sat on a panel for the Sheerluxe Fashion Day where we discussed Summer event dressing. One of the points we discussed was arriving at an event to discover that you’re not the only one wearing the outfit. Unfortunately it does happen, especially if you have bought your outfit from a well known retailer. It happened to me once, and I made a beeline…
