A WEEK IN DENIM

– Creating different looks with jeans – There is nothing worse than the January blues – trying to find inspiration for life let alone your wardrobe can be taxing. Excuse the pun but let’s not even talk about tax – if you’re anything like me and leave your tax return to last minute every year January is never a fun time! With that in mind I thought I would show you some ways to style your denim jeans. I’m pretty sure 99% of the population own a pair of jeans so I thought it would be useful to show you…

PLAYING WITH KHAKI COLOURS

A good way to edge into spring is a knitted dress like the one seen below. It’s oozing all those spring vibes but still keeps you warm. A lot of my picks this week happen to be this beautiful khaki and neutral tone which is just gorgeous for this time of year – I particular like deep green colours for outerwear. I just bought the green shearling jacket linked below from H&M and it’s my most worn item at the moment. Theres also a sprinkle of colour as I can’t resist trying to inject some fun into my my life…

THE JANUARY EDIT

I want to update my shopping pages on a weekly basis so you can come browse my favourite items all in one place on a regular! This week I’ve picked the best of high street. This month it’s all about stocking up on the core neutral clothes (in particular tailoring) and colourful accessories. I’m really going to experiment with colour over the next months in particular the tropical vibe – starting off with accessories. I just wanted to add that River Island are nailing their accessories at the moment they’re so good! JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.…

THE GLAM LIFE

“You can never be overdressed or overeducated.” – Oscar Wilde I’m not sure Oscar Wilde knew anything about sparkly jackets or killer heels but his words still remain my everyday mantra. I’m a girl that is rarely seen in flats – heels for me give a presence that elevates a look from ordinary to glam. I for one love the glam life! I’ve been hit massively by the January blues this year – I kick started the year really ill which gave me zero motivation! So when I’m having those down days I always like to get overdressed almost to…

THE NEW STAPLE

Choosing what to wear to work can quite honestly be painful sometimes. With the clock ticking away you’ve tried on approximately twenty different outfits all of which are creased because who seriously irons straight out the wash? This is me anyway! So having a fail safe blazer to mask any fashion disaster is vital in the girlboss wardrobe. There is a reasoning behind my ever expanding tweed jacket collection! They’re super smart but super sassy at the same time. Perfectly uniformed for those serious meetings but very acceptable in an array of different colours. It’s a great way to have…

IT’S NOT YOU IT’S ME

Why I’m done with dating. I’ve never been one to date, I find the whole thing ridiculously awkward. From the handful of dates I’ve been on I’ve either had to take a shot of vodka to force myself out the door or simply make a quick exit halfway through. It’s always baffled me because I’m not a shy person, I can pretty much talk for England so why is it when asked on a date I freeze like a bunny in headlights waiting to be run over. The last date I went on I cancelled dinner reservations and told him…

3 TIPS TO DRESS WARM THIS WINTER

Since my school days I’ve always been one to play around with tights. I was the girl with the ‘pop socks’ one day and knitted tights the next – having a strict uniform it was one of the only ways I could experiment with fashion. So I’ve never underestimated the power of a good thermal and it’s fashion capabilities. So I teamed up with Falke and headed down to their Bicester Village store to source some fabulous thermals to play around with. Falke is a German brand that specialises in not only thermal technology but style as well. Thermals can…

Après SKI FASHION

Like Bambi on ice it’s safe to say that skiing is not my forte. In fact anything to do with ice is simply a no go situation unless I want to brake a few bones. That said après ski I think I nailed! Like always I love an occasion to style out and as I’d never been to the slopes before I became simply fashion obsessed with snow style. After pinterest boards of planning I feel like I knew the look I wanted to go for! Every time I plan for a trip away I have a ritual or process I…

I have oily skin around my chin and I know the trouble starts when the pores get clogged, so concentrating on keeping that area dirt free is essential. I’ve tried a lot…
