The colour of 2020 is Classic Blue according to the colour officials, Pantone. Seeing as this is a colour which is supposed to bring peace and tranquillity and instil calmness and confidence, no wonder blue is a great colour to wear in the office. So this blog is all about gorgeous shades of blue – classic or not – and with smart and casual pieces …
While Classic Blue may be the colour of Spring Summer 2020, I have got a bit of a crush on pink at the moment because it’s such an uplifting friend on dismal January days. And also because it’s a hard working chap which goes with all the usual neutral suspects no problem, but may also surprise you at how well it also works with some …
Happy New Year! And with the focus very much on buying well and buying less, I’m kicking off 2020 with a post which happily marries fashion with style in the form of the classic polka dot.

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.
