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...
If you watched my latest vlog then you'll know that I've been on the hunt for a new chunky, almost-counts-as-outerwear cardigan. There's a special name for this type of heavy-duty cardi, the sort of cardi you can throw on over your entire outfit in lieu of a coat, and...
Just a quick one (ooh err!): last week I took a lot of fashion pictures for Instagram Stories, loved them all, realised they were kind of wasted on a platform that makes things disappear forever after a mere twenty-four hours and decided to post them on here so that...
I fear I'm late to the party with the boilersuit trend. Praise be, frankly, because they all look dreadful on me. I can't see what all the fuss is about - even when they don't look outrageously unflattering they still make a lot of people look like a Super Mario...
Rejoice, rejoice, the Emanuelle dress from Hush is - I can declare - the perfect garment for eating in. And I don't mean any old eating, obviously; eating is rarely an act that's impeded by your clothing. You can eat in virtually anything, really, except for a...
This trend is just an epic no-no for me, right from the start, but now that it is apparently acceptable to wear leggings as proper, meet-the-public outerwear, I have to give it a try. It's the law. Why on earth anyone would want to expose their lycra-encased lower...
There are some fashion trends that my I just can't deal with. Anything cropped. Anything too body-con but made in cheap material. Anything that involves long, tube-like skirts that sit tightly around the middle. Culottes (age me by eighty years), stilettos (always try...
Angelica, aged three and eight months, has taken to telling us all precisely what she is not. We've had this before, when she first learnt her name - or a shortened version of her name; "I not hungry, Daddy, I La-La!" "I not cute, Granny, I La-La!" "I not testing your...
[AD info: this post contains an affiliate link. This is not a paid-for post and I bought the bra myself.] I posted a photo on Instagram the other day in which my boobs were quite - how can I put this? - apparent. Perky. Fulsome. Now I don't want you to worry; I'm not...
The phoenix has landed, the cat is on the lead, the dog is at the dinner table and the chicken is a cover star. Sounds like a slightly odd lesson from one of those secondary school French listening tapes (ecoutez et repetez!) but it is, in fact, my latest magazine...

I was zooming through the online - virtual - aisles at Hush, looking for an entirely different link to something, when I stumbled across the amazing Pelle coat, pictured above. I was genuinely surprised to see it there because I assumed that it would have completely...
