Nothing says summer like a bit of straw – on your feet and your arm. Espadrilles and straw bags are nothing new but they’re going nowhere this season. If you are heading away, staycation-ing or just want to feel a bit more summery then swap your leather for some straw.

The sun is here (for the time being at least) and it’s nearly the school holidays, so it must be time to have another look at summer dresses. This week, it’s a short one but a good one with my top picks of the maxi and midi styles: Satin Maxi Dress £34.99 H&M This is perfect for summer evenings on …
I don’t have a particular theme to this week’s blog as I thought I would do a post on the pieces that I have been buying a lot of recently with my clients. The more I shop, the more I find that there tend to only be a handful of good bits out there that work across sizes, shapes and lifestyles and this …

It’s already begun – event season – weddings, races, summer parties and all that jazz. For me it’s 40th’s and a Holy Communion (which is actually already beginning to feel like a mini wedding aaaaargh!). And all of these require some sort of jazzier ensemble than your everyday wear. But the more I do this job, the more convinced I …
It’s an irritating fact that at this time of year, retailers seem to think that normal life ceases and that all we do is go on holiday or swan around at weddings and events. While we might do a bit of that, we still have to go to work – usually to pay for the above! But finding suitable things …
This month’s menswear focus is a short one – pardon the pun – firmly looking ahead to warmer, sunnier days and summer holidays. Here are my top picks to suit all budgets. Selshor Cotton Chino Shorts £69 Ted Baker I’m a bit of a purist on the shorts front and don’t think you can go wrong with a good chino …
It’s May, it’s the Bank Holiday weekend so it’s time to start feeling a little bit summery – even if the weather isn’t exactly following suit and delivering an Easter weekend set of temperatures. So first up it’s sandals and there are lots of lovely sliders to pop on your feet this summer. Loupe Smart Slider Sandal £68 Dune If …
While midi dresses still reign supreme, the style for the summer is a tiered billowy number which feels very boho. Just beware too much volume as you may find you need to size down to get the right look. I showed my husband one of my purchases and he visibly recoiled and said he thought I was wearing fancy dress …
