Autumn is my favourite season for many reasons, but aside from it being my birthday and red wine becoming the accessory to almost every meal, I also love it because it means the cosy jumpers can come out to play. This year, I have a new addition to the jumper family, in the form of [...]
A busier than usual week last week meant I didn't get the chance to pull together week 5 of the Local Lust List. So this is week 5, but kind of week 6. But I'm calling it 5. To be honest I don't really have any concept of days, weeks or time any more so [...]
So, week 4. Still in lockdown. Have eaten a lifetime's worth of banana bread. Have also convinced myself I can communicate with the cats. But, insanity and boredom eating aside, this week there's some really lovely pieces and businesses I'd like to showcase from all around the county. And by showcase, I mean add to [...]
We're already into week 3 of the Local Lust List, and sadly my shopping want has not waned. But when there are so many pretty things around that would look equally pretty in my wardrobe it's hard not to spend time gazing longingly at them, or spend money making them mine.

Whether you're searching for a Mother's Day gift, an Easter present, something quirky for a birthday or just a treat for yourself, Kent has a lot to offer when it comes to great gift shops. And, while heading to TK Maxx is great (I can honestly say I spend about half my time and money [...]
Today I want to talk about something that's really close to my heart...something that I feel has really changed my life and made me feel differently about myself. And that thing is the humble midi dress. Since leaving as editor of So Magazine last year, I still contribute to their fashion and beauty section, and [...]
A few years ago, I felt about leopard print on clothes how I feel about playing sport for fun or cheese fondue - nice for some people, but definitely not for me. But then strange things started to happen - my mentality towards it began to alter. I'd like to say this change in mindset was [...]
I love charity shops. As someone who's always on the lookout for a bargain, there's nothing more satisfying than finding a real gem at the fraction of its original price. And, I see giving clothes a new home a bit like adopting a kitten, without the problem of your curtains getting ruined... Some of the [...]
