I’ve been searching high and low for a new office chair. Depending on when this post goes up, you will or won’t know that I had a complete change of heart with my office decor and decided to go very light and airy rather than dark and Tom Ford-y. My whole house is dark and…
Continuing the sleep/bedtime theme for just a while longer; the sexiest, silkiest pyjamas. I don’t mean sexy in the “ooh, look at me with my peekaboo bra and naughty pants on” way, but the “oh my God these silky things feel really nice, I’m going to have such a glorious sleep” kind of way. The second one is almost…
Another week, another online shopping obsession – this one sparked off by Miss Selfridge‘s Instagram page and a rather lovely dress they posted up. It got me feeling very impatient for the summer and then anxious that we might not get a proper summer (it happens) and then worried that I’d be stuck with loads of inappropriate, unwearable…
A couple of weeks ago The Sunday Times Style ran a piece about cricket jumpers and there was one in particular, a lush cashmere number from Boden, that kickstarted a bit of a window shopping sweater obsession.

Nude – or beige – shoes also look incredibly chic with everything from stonewashed jeans to cocktail dresses – they are as much a wardrobe staple…

I expect he wishes I’d just buy some of the bloody things and shut up about them once and for all, but I’m enjoying torturing him with various cushion scenarios. A geometric, bold design against neutrals! What do you think of that then? Or…
Oh I am all over these lacy dresses and skirts that seem to be flooding the clothes shops at the moment. I’m talking about the beautifully feminine, Chloe-style lace garments, not the fitted type in garish colours that look flammable and scratchy. Floaty, romantic lace that makes you think of soft-focus seventies films; white, cream and nude…
I’m having a bit of a nude moment, when it comes to fashion and beauty; so pretty, so uplifting for spring and (though not quite so low-maintenance) such a lovely change from black. Black is timeless and chic, but so is nude – it just takes nerves of steel to wear it. If you’re anything…
