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, […]
Hello, lover.
Ahh, love. Valentine’s Day always creeps up on me, I find it too soon after Christmas for any substantial gift giving, but the boy and I usually like to head off to some drizzly English beach for the day and surprise each other with a comical gift or two… (previous presents have included a grumpy […]
Starry Starry Night – Going out out for Christmas
I love this season for fashion. The dark colour palettes, the sparkly details, the sumptuous texture… So I’ve put together a little edit of some favourite picks for those festive nights. Pile on the opulence with a few shimmering separates, or start your outfit with a statement piece such as the feathery tulle dress from […]
I think I might be a handbagaholic.
We all know someone with a handbag obsession. Although, if we’re completely honest, most of us ARE that person with the handbag obsession. I think my infatuation started when I was young. I remember my mum’s handbag being very symbolic. There it stood, a quilted leather Chanel dupe with a gold chain, always […]
Why we’re raiding grandma’s wardrobe this winter
Hello Nana. This season we’re finally embracing age, and it comes in the form of what I like to call ‘the granny knit’. Think vintage, hand knitted style jumpers and cardies, but most importantly of all, they have to look as though they could be found in your grandma’s wardrobe. They remind me of those […]
Why every woman needs some PVC in her wardrobe
I first wore PVC in 2013. It was a black vinyl pencil skirt, and one of my close friends told me it prompted her boyfriend to tell her he wanted to slap my bum. We didn’t hold it against him, about three of my girlfriends had already made contact with my cheeks that night, because […]
Pat Butcher was right. We all need a pair of statement earrings.
Pat Butcher eat your heart out. Tis is the season of the earring and we’re going big. We were already dipping our toes in the water with a few danglies for spring/summer, but now we’re all itching to wear something statement on our ears. Personally, I am not usually an earring wearer, so much so […]
Slogan tees for General Election Day.
Uh-oh it’s general election day. And I don’t know about you, but I am bored bored bored of all the politico chatter, and so call me shallow, but I am taking a moment to get lost in the little sartorial shift we are seeing at the moment for slogan/political tees. I’ve seen many a message scrawled across a t-shirt […]
