I know what you’re thinking: it’s ages since Ruth did a giveaway. Bloody hell. Selfish cow. I wish she’d do a giveaway – preferably with those amazing Oxblood suede shoes she showed in her latest fashion shoot. Well, dear readers: you did the thinking, and I telepathically listened! I have a quite wonderful giveaway for you…
I’ve had so many comments about this photograph – it was just a little picture for my lookbook (see full post here), but the pale beige bag and the soft golden details seem to have won a few hearts! I really like gold against my skin tone, it just feels very warm and sexy. In…
I’m doing a bit of globetrotting this week. Actually, it’s more like France-trotting, or even, if we’re getting really specific, south-of-France-trotting. I’m in Grasse until Wednesday night and then at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday and Saturday. The Grasse trip is with Chanel, who are launching a brand new No5 fragrance – huge news….
Welcome to this week’s shopping obsession: nude court shoes. I need some to finish off my “key spring outfit”, which is my faux-leather Karen Millen skirt with wrap blouse/Hush cashmere/soft marl t-shirt. Nude – or beige – shoes also look incredibly chic with everything from stonewashed jeans to cocktail dresses – they are as much a wardrobe staple…
I have never been able to resist a bit of a discount and usually, when sales time comes around, I will hunt high and low for something – anything – to buy in order to take advantage of the reduced prices. But when it’s the Very Exclusive sales, things take a bit of a dangerous turn, because instead of…
I’ve sort of restyled my last gift guide video because it occurred to me that I had a million and one things to include in my Gift Guide for Girls, but only some of them were things that I would genuinely be excited to find under the Christmas tree. So this is my pick of the…
For some reason I have become fixated on finding a pair of red shoes to wear to my brother’s wedding next month. It seems an odd thing to become fixated on, I grant you, but when you spend long hours awake in the middle of the night with no adult conversation and just Google for…
I am so ridiculously tired this week. I won’t bore you with all of the details. But suffice to say that when I had an important event to attend on Thursday, I couldn’t even entertain the idea of standing in heels all day. For a start, I hadn’t worn high shoes in many, many months and…
A pretty, pastel-y, luxury accessories post for you today, because spring is finally here and I’m on the hunt for a bit of a treat-to-self! Though it actually seems more like summer, in London – I have suntan lotion on and everything. There’s nothing like a mini heatwave to raise the spirits, and there’s also…
Well I think that these “pony effect” leather court shoes from River Island are just marvellous. I ordered them for a shoot and when they arrived I was actually quite taken aback at how great the quality was; lovely leather, a sturdily attached heel and neat finishing at the seams. I also loved the black…
I tend to get through most of the summer scuffing about in flip-flops, but I have a couple of “outdoorsy” garden party things to attend this year and so I’ve been looking for the perfect pair of shoes. They needed to be wedges because stiletto heels are absolutely useless for walking over a) lawns and b)…
1) As part of my new fitness drive, I have tried to kickstart my running “mission”. There will be a post next week about some of my…er…mishaps, but I just wanted to tell you about the iPhone app I’ve been using. It’s called “Couch to 5k” and I’m pretty sure that some of you lovely…
This silk shirt dress from Michael Kors is definitely going to be one of my staple wardrobe pieces this summer. It looks really smart and well-structured but it’s so light and cool! The perfect dress for days when you need to make an effort but it’s absolutely sweltering outside. Most of the dresses that I throw on…
Ah, ’tis finally here: the Spring Lookbook. I’ve collected together some of my favourite outfits and put them on video. It’s a bit like a moving photoshoot and I really hope that you like it – it took me a whole day to film it and another entire day to edit! If you can bring…
1) Bargain buy of the week? A(nother) pair of Cecilia pumps from Office. They were in the sale and it would have been rude not to – my first two pairs of Cecilia ballerinas are so comfy and I wear them all the time, they have been excellent value for money. The new ones are slightly different to my…
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 could have bought in the sales, but didn’t because I deliberated…
On Tuesday I went with my extremely fashionable sister (Crilly Style) to the opening of the new Bertie store on South Molton Street. We perused the new collection, which was genuinely fantastic. I have a general problem with shoes: I like them high and sexy, but can never walk in them. I look better wearing…
