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 to kill me), cold-shoulder tops (make me keenly feel the mutton/lamb scenario),…

With festive party season getting well underway, I thought you might appreciate a little fashion tip-off. This is the Belgrave Jumpsuit from Boden and I have been absolutely showered with compliments every time I’ve worn it. Saying that makes me cringe a bit, but it’s true; never has an outfit I’ve worn received quite so…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) After my latest video I had almost as many questions about the cardigan I was wearing as the skincare products I featured – something about the striped cuffs seemed to really get people going! Well I can reveal that the cardi is…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) It’s picture-heavy, this post, but I did risk life and limb standing in the middle of the road for the photos, so I’m including as many as self-respect will allow. To be entirely honest, only one car actually went past us the…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Imagine my delight, considering my current preoccupation with dark, moody floral prints, when womenswear brand Me + Em sent over this georgette maxi-dress! It combines a new favourite thing (dark florals) with an all-time favourite thing (side-stripes) to create a dress that…
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) Here’s a pretty little autumn wardrobe update for you; a gorgeous silk shirt that’s cool enough to be worn now, at the tail end of the summer, but robust enough for layering underneath chunky cardigans and jumpers when the weather starts to…
I feel as though everyone I know is now suddenly ready for the Autumn. Everyone is content that we’ve “had a good summer”, even though it’s still August, and they’re posting pictures of turning leaves and cosy scarves and talking about where they’re spending Christmas. I can never have enough summer, but I have to…
After a glorious, long spell of hot weather, temperatures have dramatically dipped in the UK, seemingly leaving half the population wondering what an earth to wear. It’s as though we’ve completely forgotten what normal dressing is. What type of footwear goes with trousers? What even are trousers? I saw a man yesterday walking into Bath…
This week’s dress (seeing as though dress posts seem to be becoming a “thing” on here!) is the print pleat shirt dress from Teatum Jones at Label Mix*. Label Mix is an own-brand collection at Next that launched last year. The collections are produced in collaboration with “rising star” designers and they come out with…
I feel as though I’m bombarding you with dresses at the moment, but the sales are still on and every time I buy something good it immediately sells out. And I thought that I was getting in there early with these Luna and Lola dresses from Whistles, but they’ve just gone into the sale as well! I…
There’s not a lot to say about this gorgeous All Saints dress other than the fact that I love it so much I bought it twice. Actually I bought it once, sent it back because I thought I wouldn’t get any wear out of it, looked over the photos on this page again and then…
I love this jacket from LK Bennett. It’s very chic, very Parisian, very…Chanely. Could Chanely be a word? Maybe it would make more sense with a hyphen in it, like Chanel-y. I mean to say, of course, that the jacket has more than a touch of Chanel about it – the boxy shape that sits so…
I’ve become rather fond of a good slogan or logo on a t-shirt. It jazzes things up a bit, elevates the t-shirt from being a plain, utilitarian sort of thing to more of a considered outfit choice. Except that it isn’t, of course, because it takes just the same amount of effort to pull on…
Right. I know it’s snowing in the UK and we’re all frozen into our homes, tapping fruitlessly at the insides of our iced-over windows in the hope that someone happens to be passing with a blow-torch and chisel so that we can be released from our chilly confines (just me? alrighty then), but there’s nothing…
Inspired by Chanel’s bright and cheery Neapolis makeup collection, I have been scouring the internet for things that will inject a bit of colour and life into my wardrobe, which currently consists of light grey things, dark grey things and denim. I’ll be doing a full feature on Chanel’s Spring Summer 2018 Makeup Collection – the Chanel…
There were almost fireworks this morning when I opened the tumble dryer door to find my favourite jumper shrunk to about a third of its usual size. “You’d still get into that!” said Mr AMR, completely missing the point, which was that he had (as usual) chucked all of the wet washing straight into the…
I’ve never been hugely fond of florals when it comes to clothing – there’s always the risk that you’ll look as though you’ve dressed yourself in a pair of curtains, when what you were really aiming for was something bohemian and quirky. For this reason, floral items must be carefully selected; prints should be striking, fabrics…
