Fast Fashion brands can actually help us become more SUSTAINABLE!

Posted on January 18, 2022

My daughter started secondary school , just as the second lockdown came into force, and moved from mufti to uniform. Who knew you really had to purchase the uniforms months in advance, or face the dreaded uniform queue! Which, could stretch back a mile, and that you might have to visit more than one of the few designated uniform shops to get the full ensemble, as last minute ‘buying on line’ was not an option due to demand! Mission accomplished…

MOTHER OF THE GROOM OUTFIT

Posted on October 18, 2021

When my son announced that he had proposed, my first thoughts were, wow! That’s grown up stuff, followed by, are you sure?/ are you happy? okay congratulations. The heightened wave of emotions, were then quickly and brutally dampened by the announcement on the 23rd of March 2019, that we were going into lockdown due to COVID19!, and like most people, the full ramifications of what ‘LOCKDOWN’ meant didn’t immediately dawn on me, until further on down the line. Despite the…

THE HUMBLE CORK

Posted on April 7, 2021

Say 'CORK',and the first thought that comes to mind, is a wine stopper, swiftly followed by a 'POP!'sound from an enthusiast doing the honours, then me instinctively dodging the assailant as it goes flying through the air, for the preservation of sight.…

What can I say, it is finally beginning to feel like Christmas, and unlike most that are quite organised, when it comes to buying of the pressies (and I should take a leaf out of their books really) I find myself just beginning to buy my Christmas gifts. If you find yourself in the same boat, fear not, we still have about 5 days to get our act together. And what with next day delivery, I am pretty confident, I’ll…

Posted on December 14, 2018

BUT THEN….I discovered the brand ‘A days March’ This is the honest truth – a few months ago, I was invited along to an event called ‘a Fika’ which essentially is Scandinavian word for ‘hanging out’ but with good coffee and yummy cakes, but more importantly, to be introduced to a fashion label . I must admit, I wasn’t that interested in the label, but thought, oh great, swedish buns! I’m game or should I say, it was a good bait….…

Not a perfume connoisseur, but If I may..

Posted on October 8, 2018

Realising a bottle of perfume that I was gifted for a birthday, Christmas or through press is always a dilemma, when the end might be nigh. I start to wonder if I should buy another bottle of the same, go through a few of my mini samples for a while, or embark on the relentless journey to find a new replacement. Perfumes are quite personal, and in instances where the giver hits the right notes, I find myself using it…

TLC for my wardrobe

Posted on August 24, 2017

As a city dweller, I find myself constantly trying to keep up with the maintenance of my few possessions in an attempt to keep cost down. Visits to the mechanic, repairs here and there in my flat, keeping the unruly garden in shape and a host of other things. I guess like everything I possess, my wardrobe actually goes through a lot of wear and tear, and considering the fact that I wear my clothes to death!, subconsciously I must…

Cool ‘n’ The BAG

Posted on June 8, 2017

Many of you , who kindly read my post , would know that I favour a tote bag over a handbag, and have over a hundred of them. They are cheap enough, come in a plethora of prints as well as sizes, and afford me the indulgence of swapping bags from day to day. I often find a lot of hand bags, either over embellished, or with a brand name screaming at me, and to carry this on a day…

The Metamorphosis of a good old book …..

Posted on March 16, 2017

I started reading a book over the weekend, the first in over a year! I’d been thinking about reading a good book for a long while now, but since driving came on the scene, reading for pleasure became insurmountable! Last week, whilst talking to my neighbour,who has a big library, I mentioned the need to sink my teeth into a good book – she instantly produced a fat softback, which I haven’t been able to put down since. Prior to that,…
