Last week I bought one of the absolute best things I’ve bought all year. I genuinely don’t know what I was doing with my life before I had it. And the most amazing thing is that this purchase happened as a result of my own complete ineptitude: through self-created...
In a surprise turn of events, I've become rather attached to a pair of camo-print cargo trousers. In fact I've barely taken them off for an entire week, wearing them with everything from cashmere jumpers to pretty blouses and cotton t-shirts. It's a surprise turn of...
Well, I was seduced again. I went on the Sézane website, saw that absolutely everything on there would almost definitely make me look like a twenty year-old Parisian sex-kitten from the seventies and then ordered a load of stuff. It arrived, I unwrapped my haul from...
As part of my ongoing attempt to smarten myself up and streamline my wardrobe I have been trying out new fashion trends. I say trends, they're really just things that many people have been wearing for ages yet I still find hilariously novel: cropped wide-leg trousers...
I ordered a load of Adidas jogging bottoms and shorts because I suddenly had the urge to wear something other than massively oversized maternity trousers when I'm working from home. When I'm going to be sitting at my desk for hours, I invariably want something...
I spent much of September dashing in and out of my local M&S to buy bits and pieces for the seaside cottage, which will be available to rent for holidays from approximately the year 2032. (At this rate. Cutlery, linen, pots and pans, butter dishes and tea towels,...
I've been experimenting with ways of getting more use out of the sorts of autumn dresses I'd usually "save for best". Dresses that I'm happy to invest in, because they are more often than not bought for a work event or a special occasion, but that then tend to sit...
On my continuing mission to find the perfect denim shorts I ended up doing a huge Hush shop. In this video I try on all of the Hush clothing (no real recollection of ordering quite so much so must have had heat exhaustion or something). Took bloody ages! All the items...
You know the drill with these, by now: it's a real-time (ish) try-on of my latest clothing order, this time from perennial favourite, Hush Homewear. It wouldn't really have been such a big order, but I have to get everything in both a size 10 and 12, because I sit...
I did an Abercrombie & Fitch order last week because the knees had gone through on my favourite skinny jeans. To be quite honest with you, I'm no longer sure that superskinny jeans are really the best cut for me anymore, but they seem to be the only jeans made...
I ordered a load of stuff with crazy sleeves from Zara. I haven't completely lost the plot; I wanted some interesting ruffles and puffs to add a bit of pizazz to some makeup videos I want to film. I wanted something sculptural, almost, because one of the videos is...
It's quite rare, these days, that an outfit will make me feel truly great. Great with no caveats. Great "but also I don't have to worry about my dress flying up in the wind" or great but "also I don't have to worry about my middle button popping off where my gut has...
