Posted on June 22, 2022

“the chances of someone having the exact same outfit as you piece by piece from a charity shop is greatly reduced, and for me that gives me a piece of mind that, my individuality is safe”.

My SAVVY winter

Posted on November 16, 2015

Having spent part of my formative years in a warmer climate, readjusting to winter took a long time indeed. I was constantly cold, even though I wrapped myself up like the Michelin man, and perceptually had frozen hands and feet! I was one of those you shook hands with, and said, “wow, your hands are cold”! I suppose having a slight build, meant I had less body fat to keep me warm, but the layers I tried to compensate with, were…

I went along for the first time, to SCOOP at the Saatchi Gallery, and was honestly planning to breeze in and breeze out, one hour max! I thought…, 3 hours later however, and I was still in there! So many quirky Clothes, Jewellery, Shoes, perfumes, with a lot of designs for all over Europe and America………Anyway, I came across these ‘Hand Bangels’ – which I, hadn’t seen before and my first thought was ….’great idea, but probably uncomfortable and impractical…

Less is More…

With the beautiful London weather not baiting, my quest to seek out a new pair of wellingtons accelerated to urgent. Having ruined half my shoes in the rain, hoping the rain rain will go away, optimistic as I am, I have accepted that the rain will come for many more days and perhaps weeks? Months? hmmm. Anyway, my love for wellingtons – (Patterned ones)- started about 12yrs ago, when a friend and I went to Barcelona. Our hotel was…

What can I say; I’ve got a fixation for shirts. Don’t possess that many, but wear them constantly. The one thing that frustrates me about most chick shirts however, is the floppy collar that I constantly have to adjust, apart from when I am buttoned all the way up. A new fashion friend of mine told me she had the same problem, so started dawning her boyfriend’s shirt instead. That’s one solution, but size matters. Well, I was walking through…

AN-THRO-PO-LOGIE

Posted on March 14, 2012

I like pronouncing An-thro-po-logie, in the same way an android would. I imagine myself with a microphone, saying it with a nasal voice. Anyway my visits An-thro-po-logie on Regent Street (and more recently, Kings Rd.) is always satisfactory. As well as taking in all the fab aesthetics, I look forward to the sale section (which is ongoing all year round) and one is never sure, what one will find. I have picked up some amazing bargains from the sale section,…

Shu

On my many errands today, I popped into a shopping centre, to get my staple merino wool tights for M & S ( brown today, and last week a black pair – can do without them), opps apologies for digressing – walking along, I saw 2 sales assistants standing in the front of a shoe shop, appreciating the display in their window. So I looked too, and saw nada that really grabbed me, but found myself wondering into the shop,…
