*This post was written in collaboration with Topshop and contains affiliate links* For this month’s Topshop collaboration I have chosen timeless, classic pieces. Let’s start with this beautiful Herringbone coat (£169) I love the way it adds texture to an outfit without being overpowering. 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…
*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…
