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,…

How I Rock bridesmaid dresses post weddings!

Posted on February 3, 2017

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…

Last Minute christmas gifting guide

Posted on December 17, 2016

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…

The Ultimate tote bag to date….

Posted on September 24, 2016

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,…

Dutch style cycling

Posted on September 10, 2016

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…

PACKING FOR MY FIRST Glastonbury

Posted on June 23, 2016

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…

The full monty

Posted on May 31, 2016

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…
