Welcome to our little corner of the Internet. Relax and stay a while.
November is round the corner which means if you haven’t already got yourself a winter wool coat, then now’s the time. So with that in mind, here are my top picks of the styles you need in your wardrobe. It’s an item of clothing you are wise to invest in as it will see you through years to come but there are …
Leather is a key fabric this autumn and while a jacket is a total no-brainer, wardrobe staple, there’s lots more out there in the world of leather and pleather. Lots of the trousers will be totally marmite and also man repelling but the skirts are actually an easy-wear. When I pulled out a pair of pleather joggers in H&M, my husband guffawed as …
It’s that time of year when the focus moves away from trainers onto boots. This autumn it’s a tale of two boots as at one end of the trend spectrum it’s all about knee high numbers while at the other edgy, flat hiking numbers rule. Here are my top picks including some other options if neither appeals: Take a Hike The key to …
After a few months of neglecting the men folk, I am kicking off the autumn season with a knitwear focus to spruce up your casual wardrobe.

So with that in mind, the start of the month and the beginning of autumn is the perfect time to …
Ok let’s get down to the business of the new season…and dresses are still a massive trend. Printed, midi and ideally with a nod to the 70s and then you’ve got it sorted.
