You can’t possibly take your handbag to the beach, so thank goodness for all the basket bags, string bags and beaded bags doing the rounds this season. I’ve selected a few favourites in my Basket Case Edit. Beach setting not compulsory, but they’d definitely enjoy a sandy outing.

Meryl and the trench coat of dreams – Fashion moments from Kramer Vs Kramer
I’ve always wanted a Burberry trench, and Meryl demonstrates just why we all need one in our wardrobes while playing subtly stylish Joanna Kramer in Kramer Vs Kramer. See also, lots of pared-down basics, cream and camel tones, silk blouses worn with pearl earrings, and a courtroom wardrobe that puts all those preened DUI-charged celebs […]
The best minimal sandals to take into summer
I wore a pair of strappy square-toed sandals to my year 9 disco when I was 14. They went to the charity shop some years later, a decision I am regretting now I’m once again lusting after these minimal heels. They’re this summer’s must-have, so I’ve put together an edit of the best available on […]

There has definitely been a bit of a Mango-aissance over the past few seasons.
RedRum. The Shining inspired outfit.
Sometimes, horror stories come in the form of a bad winter cold on your birthday. I am almost a child of Halloween (born on October 29th and forever wishing as a teen it was October 31st so I could pretend I was a witch) and this month’s frightful situation came with two of the scariest […]

Wild Women Do – The Pretty Woman Inspired Outfit
I have been watching Pretty Woman for so many years I don’t even remember the first time. I’m pretty sure I didn’t understand what was going on when I first watched it as a child, but something in it captivated me. It was probably Julia Roberts, she definitely has that effect. Anyhow, as dated as […]
The Lisbon Sister – The Virgin Suicides inspired look
I first found The Virgin Suicides when I was about 16. For some reason, I’ve always been drawn to the macabre (I grew up listening to Radiohead), and I was entranced by the dreamy, romantic vision of these five sisters and their beautifully sad story. Although it was the first feature for director Sofia Coppola, […]
Why one of my New Year’s Resolutions wasn’t to eat less cake
Firstly, I will say that my body and I have had our ups and downs. I treated her terribly in my twenties. And so she decided to teach me a lesson. Somewhere between 23 and 24 she stopped conquering junk food and just got (dare I say it) fat. I hated myself for […]
