It Looked Better in Person

We are now on day 3 of Norwich Cocktail Week. This, of course, means that I am already about ready to spend an entire day sleeping and would be very happy never to see another cocktail again. Until later of course, when I’m a few cocktails down! Yesterday, instead of a late night, we decided

New Hair

Ok, Ok, I’ll put your out of your misery! If you read Wednesdays post you’ll know that I was getting a hair cut and considering doing something a bit radical. You might even have seen my Instagram Post. But this is the proper reveal, because I know that you were all sitting at home saying

Time for a Change

Right about now I’m probably leaving the hairdressers. As I write this on Tuesday afternoon I really fancy a change. I’ve never been precious about my hair. It grows back after all!

Autumn Sunday Style – Leopard Print and a Beret

Beret season has officially started. This is great news, as there’s nothing better than a beret to cover up hair that needs a trim and that you couldn’t really be bothered to brush properly before you went out because it’s Sunday morning and you’re feeling lazy.

Autumn Vodka Hot Tuddy Cocktail

Now that Autumn is setting in, it’s time for an Autumn Cocktail. One of the things I love about Autumn is that feeling of cosying up. Like we’re getting ready to hunker down for winter. I want things with apples and spices and pumpkins, warming things. I like to imagine that I’m going to wear

Why I Wear Make Up and The Story of My Make Up History

Back in Glamorous July one of my challenges was to go without make up. It occurred to me that it was one of probably only a handful of times that I have left the house without make up in at least 20 years. Since that little experiment I’ve actually been a little more likely to

Dresses, Cardigans and Sunglasses

This is basically my late Summer uniform. When it’s still warm enough for summer dresses, the sun is bright, but you know the chill starts setting in around mid afternoon. Brrr. As simple as this outfit looks it was surprisingly hard to get dressed in it today. I knew what I wanted to wear, but could I
