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…
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,…
I remember being a flower girl at many a wedding, whilst still a child. The dresses were always picked I now presume, by the bride, and were usually white, creamy, or floral. Being a child, I just enjoyed the moments, attention, and the awww, ‘so cute ‘ comments, that my twin and I attracted. Needless to say, I was unaware of how much it cost to have us both kitted out for the weddings, or what would happen to the clothes…
If like me, you are just beginning to wrap your head around Christmas and haven’t really brought your pressies yet, all I can say is, thank Goodness for the internet! it’s been a long winded year, and what with being away recently, trying to get back into the swing of London and tackling a million and one things on my ‘To do list’ , has put prepping for Christmas on a back burner until now. I do love the christmas…
WHEN the government brought us bang up to speed with the rest of Europe by introducing a five-pence charge on carrier bags, I certainly found an additional use for my every increasing pile of tote bags acquired from events and press. Of course, they are incredible popular now , and the array of print,colours, and fabric is much to be desired – ( if like me you like that kind of thing). The problem I have with tote bags however is,…
I never quite understood Boris Johnson (former mayor of London’s) vision for cycling in London and his plan to create of cycle paths, until I visited the Netherlands. Granted, I had been to Amsterdam, a few times , many moons ago, but it was work related and I didn’t really take in as much as I perhaps should have. Fortunately, my stylist role took me to Rotterdam this year, and my eyes were wide open and ready to absorb. As…
Last year I wrote a post called Bestival, and mused on what I would take with me, if I could just push myself far out enough of my comfort zone to camp in a tent. This year, I actually get to live Glastonbury, and as I pack my festival essentials, I am filled with excitement and dread at the same time. Having closely been following all media covarage on this event – and hearing that people have been stuck in…
One of the items that seems to have dominated my small wardrobe recently, is this full black mesh skirt. I find myself constantly gravitating towards it, and it gets a look in, at least once a week. It is so easy to dress up or down, and flatters my boyish figure beautifully. The interesting truth is, had I not seen this at a press preview, and been given the opportunity of it been gifted to me, I would not have…
If I got stuck on an island, the one thing I would crave for after food and water, would be a moisturiser! I simply cannot do without! The absence of it makes my skin feel one size smaller, and my lips go into hibernation.Having naturally, dry/Normal skin, a moisturiser is what stops the dial swinging from Normal to Dry. – The horror of pausing, whilst out and about,rummaging through my make-up bag and discovering that I have nothing to use on…
Being a freelance stylist means I’ve had privy to many a wardrobe in Britain and abroad. I sieve through clients wardrobes, decluttering and giving them my humble advice. I say ‘giving’, because they are paying clients, who have asked for my advice on style and Fashion. So when fellow fashion blogger Karen (N4mummy), called to suggest that we do a styling shoot from each others wardrobes, I thought hmmm…- great idea! but how do you style someone who already has…
