A Proper Outfit
It's mid-September and my organised thoughts turn to Christmas socialising. Yes, I know but I take the Christmas season seriously and I like a suitably festive diary. The traditional Christmas do is the time to dress up and crack out the sequins. I...
Well Loved And Showing It
I have a confession to make. I love clothes. They signal who you are, create an armour, provide an easy form of self-expression and at their best are an art form. My wardrobe is a mix of versatile navy basics, breton tops, patterned skirts and glitter. It's heaven....
A Little Ri-Ri Love
Rihanna has started a makeup line called Fenty Beauty. The first advert has been released and I want it all: How gorgeous is that gold eye shadow that's taken across the temples? The video is a hymn to diverse beauty in all its...
Woolly Jumpers
I know it's still August but we need to face facts: summer didn't really happen. Yes, there was a weekend I wore THE yellow summer dress from M&S and won a water fight but that's it. So, the summer clothes are going in the loft and out comes the autumn/winter...
A Signature Scent
I've always been obsessed with the idea of having a signature style. There is a large section of my book shelves devoted to it. The clarity and simplicity appeals as well as the idea of having an awesomeness uniform. One part of this is having a signature...
Wakey Wakey
I have always loved make up. I love how it can make you look. I love how it can make you feel. I love the brain space applying it can give you. I love the camaraderie of sharing make tips and fails with other people. I am, when it comes to make up, an advertiser's...
Where’s Wally
There weather is interesting at the moment. Yesterday, the heating came on automatically. It's August. It is already time to start thinking about autumn clothes, which is quite nice. I love a floaty dress but I am an autumn/winter woman. Give me tights, a wool...
Wellibobs
I love my dog. He is awesome. He's also a bird poo eating idiot but an awesome idiot. I want my dog to have the best doggy life he can. I will deal with vet trips, smelly poos, dog drool, random barking, training, over excited owl cushion humping, the lot. We...
30 Wears Campaign
Sometimes an idea is really simple and it grabs your imagination. I came across the 30 Wears Campaign on Instagram today, which is rubbish of me as it's been around for a while. The idea is that whenever you buy a new item of clothes you should only purchase...
Spangly Shoes
I love shoes. I am a fussy but lazy dresser. For years my "don't think, just get up" outfit was a plain navy dress, with black tights and very colourful heels. Then I fell off the step into a Chinese restaurant (I was not drunk, I was momentarily distracted by...
Perky
Some make up items are covetable and sexy, like red lipstick and the blackest mascara. Some are utilitarian work horses such as primer and concealer. Some are overlooked entirely. I give you, the humble blusher. Lost in a sea of contour, highlight and bronzer,...
Black Flicky Eyeliner
I joke that my personality is 97% eyeliner. I am nothing without my eyeliner. This is only because I am so used to seeing my face with all of the eyeliner on it that I think I look a little naked mole rat-esque without it. Eyeliner is my thing. It is never not...
