I am excited to share this month’s Topshop edit with you. I always try to approach these edits with my 30 wears hat on, because I want to share pieces that I think you would wear over and over again. The wow dresses are so tempting at this time of year with party season upon us, but I thought I would save those for next…
*This blog contains affiliate links* A few years ago I saved up for a pair of leather leggings. They were a big investment, and I really loved wearing them, but then I discovered the Commando faux leather leggings and I must confess that I haven’t worn them since. You see my real leather leggings weren’t a perfect fit. They were prone to bagging at the…
Our bathroom demolotion has begun and planning is in full swing. For those who don’t follow along on stories or are new to the blog, we are (unexpectedly) having to re-do our en-suite bathroom after discovering Milla’s ceiling was about to collapse due to a leaking shower AND a leaking roof. Our bathroom is ten years old and bar two tiny mosaics which had come…

It’s softer than black and if like me, much of your wardrobe consists of dark wintery hues, then this would be…

*Please note my blog contains affiliate links* It’s my birthday soon and I have been thinking about treating myself to a new black handbag. Taking inspiration from old Celine, I am looking for something classic, understated, over the shoulder, not too big and not too small. I find the bigger the handbag, the more I carry and it ends up being unnecessarily heavy. My current…
I am sad not to be able to share the before photos with you here as I love seeing interiors transformation photos on instagram, but (in case you hadn’t heard) I lost my entire cameral roll at the weekend during a phone upgrade. I decided to set about painting our snug walls (which were a very dark charcoal colour) and floorboards (a very dark brown)…
*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…
