Oh, I've just done something extremely dangerous. I didn't know that it would be dangerous, at the time, but it turns out that it was: I clicked onto L.K. Bennett and I now want about twelve thousand things from the new collection, including the Florette shoes that I...
The Henrietta Bra: A Success!
Partly because I am so bloody pleased with my photograph, I'm mentioning my Boux Avenue Henrietta bra again. It's hard to take a good picture of a bra, you know - they just don't stand up properly and they look all weird and abstract without boobs in them. This one...
The Comfiest High-Heeled Boots: Part 2
After the success of the UGG Shezbies and the more recent arrival of my Savoie boots (pictured above), I can now officially confirm that UGG really do make the most comfortable high heels in existence. My Shezbies (first posted here) have seen me on and off more buses...
Uh Oh. Net-a-Porter Sale: Round 2
I thought that I was done and dusted with my sales posts (and my sales shopping!) but then an email pinged into my inbox and resisting opening it would have been akin to placing a lively mouse in front of a cat and expecting the cat to simply ignore it. It was the...
Shopping the Sales: What I’ve Bought. So Far.
My sales shopping has begun in earnest; stricter and more methodical than ever this year, because I need every spare penny for important house renovations! It's all too easy to go crazy with online shopping when prices start being slashed - no queues, no awful try-on...
The Look Book Video…
Just in case you were wondering what I've been up to in Dubai: I've been here with Daily Mix TV making special vids for their Youtube channel. I especially enjoyed creating the Look Book video - I didn't even know these things existed. It's basically a kind of moving...
Window Shopping: Best Winter Sweaters
My sweater shopping has begun in earnest. I'm trying to keep the heating bill down as I now have a house that seems to literally suck any kind of warmth from the air and dispose of it out of some form of secret trapdoor in the roof. As I type this I am wearing a vest,...
Step Away from the Sale.
I've been ever so good recently. Ever so, ever so good. I can't remember the last time I bought something fashion-related - it's all curtains and wallpaper and "which mixer tap do you like?" at the moment. So it's almost a shame that I stumbled upon the LK Bennett...
It’s Pyjama Time Again…
I have been pondering pyjamas. I'm in the market for some new ones - bottoms only, I can't be doing with the whole shirt-and-trousers routine, not yet. Not pre-70. (I say that "in public", but really I do quite like the matching sets. I have to come clean about this...
The Best Bright Lingerie
OK, time for me to brighten up my undies drawer. There's nothing more pleasing, lingerie-wise, than having a matching set in some outrageous colour hiding out underneath layers of autumnal knitwear. There's something wonderful about an oversized grey cashmere sweater...
Jimmy Choo: Unapologetic Eyewear.
If you're going to wear shades in the winter then I say: make them count. I'm rather an apologetic wearer of sunglasses - I wear them only when I absolutely need to. Plenty of people I know like to pop them on at all hours, sometimes even indoors (the mind boggles)...
Burberry Lusting and the Wonders of Technology…
Earlier this week it was Burberry Beauty, today it's Burberry Style. I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist. It's partly the fault of DisneyRollerGirl who posted about her favourite SS14 looks and reminded me of the fact that they were all available to pre-order right this...
