I’m scheduling posts in advance and attempting to be all organised so I can take a break, so todays post, doesn’t contain long stories, thoughtful musings on important issues or even exciting things to buy,

A Nice Day for a Not White Wedding

Happy Bank Holiday Monday! Surprisingly from where I sit at the moment it is NOT raining, which is a wonder, so shortly I will be heading out to make the most of the day, but I thought I’d pop in first with a quick outfit post. I know ANOTHER outfit post, I’ve obviously got over

An Outfit to do Art in and a Hair Cut

On Wednesday I did Art. And I got a hair cut. I last had my hair cut on New Years Eve, so it was massively overdue. The end of my hair were frazzled and it looked pants unless I wore it up. Yes, that’s right pants, the very worst thing your hair can look like.

Pow!

This blog, basically, has always been about “stuff I like”. I get emails sometimes asking me my opinion on trends, or what trend I will be following this season, and I always look slightly blank and explain that I just wear clothes, I hope they’re nice clothes, I think they’re nice clothes, but I don’t

USA Pro Fit Kit Review

Recently I was contacted by USA Pro and asked if I wanted to review some of their Spring Summer 2014 fit kit range. In my never ending hunt for good quality reasonably priced yet attractive sports wear that isn’t pink. I said yes. I was sent the racer back vest in Teal and 3/4 leggings

Trowse 10k 2014 – My Slowest 10k Yet!

Ah, it must be Easter Sunday, because once again I’m up at stupid o’clock in the morning to run the ridiculously early starting Trowse 10k. It doesn’t even start at 11am like lots of races. It starts at 9am. They don’t send your number out in advance either so you can just bimble up at
