Ah, the wedding season is upon us. Actually, it has been upon us for a while now, but I’ve only just done my first one – a gorgeous, outdoor affair in a very posh garden with possibly the most lavish tent I’ve ever set foot in. I could have set up home in it! Anyway,…
Something a little different for the end of the week; in this video I go on a shopping spree, but in my own house! I found some boxes of stuff that had been in the storage locker and it was like opening up a time capsule – there were things I had totally forgotten about. I would urge you all…
I filmed this video before I discovered the Soap & Glory Glow All Out stick, which is very annoying, because it definitely would have been included. Especially as the Topshop one I show is no longer available. Also (multiple errors alert!) the Rosie for Autograph Amazing Radiance Cream I use at the start of the video costs £18, so…
A random theme for a video, you may think, but I love a parka during the winter months. And spring and autumn, for that matter; I probably clock up a good hundred days of parka-wearing every year. But so many of the parkas these days look and feel cheap – shiny fabric, horrible zips and shockingly bad…
I ordered these ankle boots from Topshop on a bit of a whim, just opened up my parcel and they are amazing! I quite often add some random wildcard things into my online shopping orders, just because I know that something will inevitably have to go back, so I may as well try on as many…
Could this Topshop “soft belted trench” be the best trench coat on the high street? With its nipped-in waist and contrast banding, I think that it might be a strong contender! The shape is just beautiful and the length is sexy and modern. I tweeted about a similar trench a couple of months ago and…
Just take a look at these little disco babies, glittering away in the sun! I bought them at the weekend from Topshop – they’re called the “Newlywed Mid Sandal” – and I haven’t been so instantly pleased with a shoe purchase since I snapped up my Jennie heels from LK Bennett last year. The Newlyweds…
Today I have been playing the “Sicilian Woman Scorned” in my Dolce & Gabbana inspired outfit. I absolutely adore the ad campaigns that Dolce & Gabbana release every season; there’s just something so sexy and womanly about the way that they style things and the whole “pencil skirt, nipped-in waist and undone blouse” look never really…
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…
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…
After the success of my animal-skirt-and-pink-jumper combination (see last week’s post on pastels) and my L.K.Bennett tangerine-coloured Fae heels (above and here), I have become a little preoccupied with finding pretty clothes and accessories for springtime. (I’ve also been preoccupied with the animal print aspect, but that’s nothing new; my love affair with leopard prints is an age-old…
Fashion website Motilo* have a competition running, if you fancy winning yourself a £100 shopping spree. Every week they are presenting a different style challenge, asking people to solve the age-old dilemma of “what to wear” and this week’s dilemma is: how the bloody heck are you supposed to wear pastels? Without looking like a)…
This week I’ve been wearing hoop earrings. Me! I know! The person who has worn the same diamond studs in her ears for the last two years and, before that, no ear-adornments since the age of fourteen! I don’t really know what possessed me to chuck a value pack of Freedom at Topshop ear hoops onto the…
Yes, I know: “partying” used as a verb. As bad as “holidaying”, in my books – where do you holiday? – but still. I wore it emblazoned across my chest on a Milly NY t-shirt: “Sorry for Partying”. I wish I had time to “party” – the most I’ve managed recently was a couple of red wines…
Topshop asked me to talk about my favourite product from their range. I have to admit that I was torn between this highlighter and the cream blush in Neon Rose! Here I am on the Topshop website giving my little makeup tip: If you’re tired of the pearly, silvery highlighters then this one has a…
Dear Topshop. Or anyone, for that matter. Have you seen this skirt? It’s a houndstooth check “tulip” skirt and I want it. I need it. Why the hell I didn’t buy it when I actually tried it on, and liked it enough to take a photo of it, and tweet about it, and tell everyone…
Topshop’s Crayon is very gold – but sod it, the sun’s out!
