This week, I’ve been listening to Birdy’s album. It’s a beautiful, relaxing collection of cover versions with a folky twist and Bridy’s voice is amazing especially considering she’s only 15. It’s very chilled so you need to be in a certain mood to enjoy it and as you know it’s been a reflective week for me [...]

Glamour puss
I went Xmas shopping at the weekend and my eye caught the girls on the Benefit make-up counter dressed up in forties style. One of them ended up defining my eyebrows, putting mascara on my mum and selling us £100 worth of products as pressies for us! I love the idea of having a retro [...]

Autumn colours
A large proportion of my wardrobe is black especially for autumn / winter and I can usually be found wearing jeans. So I went shopping on Saturday and decided I needed to brighten up my wardrobe this year. I’ve always stuck to black or blue jeans but these stood out to me in Topshop and [...]

Make do and mend
I needed a button sewn this weekend and having no sewing skills whatsoever I had to plead with my mum who hates sewing herself to help me out. Growing up, I had no instruction at school in sewing, knitting, mending and it’s left me pretty short when it comes to practical know-how. I think it’s [...]

Saturday Shopping and Sunday Songs
Yesterday I hit the shops and got my first Autumn clothes haul – all in Gap surprisingly. I got two light jumpers in blue and tan, a pair of dark blue bootcut jeans and a black and white scarf. I also went into TK Maxx and across the shop a bear caught my eye. Yes [...]

Be adorable
On my week off a book caught my eye on the shelf – pink, embossed and all about being glamorous, I snapped it straight up! I love old school glamour, Hollywood stars of the past with their red lipstick, alluring eyes and long silky gowns. Marilyn, Audrey, Bette, Katherine … this books tells you how [...]

The trials of shopping
I’ve never been a fan of one particular shop. There isn’t one place I head to first when I’m shopping, somewhere I know I’ll find something. I find shopping on the high street to about luck really – sometimes I find something in one shop, the next time will think everything in there is hideous. [...]

Material girl
I feel in the need of treating myself to something special. This summer, I have no holidays plans so with that saving in mind along with the dullness of staying put (and probably enduring more rain), I think I need to buy myself a staying at home present. Yes I am trying to be logical about buying things for myself – it’s a [...]

Coachella cool
Every year I get completely jealous when I see photos of the Coachella music festival in California. Cool people, trendy bands, fashion fun and lovely warm weather. Festivals over here are usually about the rain and mud in comparison. Hopefully one year I’ll get to go myself but for now, here are my favourite outfits from the event. Fab summer [...]

The sun has got his hat on
We are experiencing some gorgeous weather in the UK right now – it’s sunny and unseasonably warm, we’re even beating the Med on temperature. There’s something about the sunshine that makes everything seem better and my mood much lighter. Yesterday I grabbed a lunch break and sat out for some sun catching. I must start bringing sun cream to work as my shoulder got a bit red [...]
