Not At All Sensible Shoes You Can Actually Walk In

I don’t want much from a pair of shoes. I just want them to be glamorous, divine pieces of art, but also comfortable enough to walk and dance in all evening without the balls of my feet burning like they’re on fire. Is that too much to ask for? I do love a pair of

This Week I….

Happy Valentines Day! Just remember, if you hate it, you’re definitely wrong. I have plans for the day that involve trekking through muddy fields, but there will also be fizzy wine and chocolates, so we’re all good on the cheesy romance front. This week has actually been sort of an eventful week compared to the

Is it Worth the Money? Younique Splurge Cream Eyeshadow

For Christmas this year I got some eyeshadow. This wasn’t a surprise. My Sister is a Younique rep and therefore I get Younique products for every Christmas, birthday or other present giving opportunity.

Outfit Post: Winter Stripes

A good pencil skirt is something I have rediscovered a love for. There were many years when I had basically given up on pencil skirts, they were either so tight on my hips that sitting presented a very real risk of busting a seam and displaying my pants to the world, or so loose on

Funky Fit Kit: My Ginger Orange

I am a massive fan of gym kit with fun prints. Just because you want to get sweaty doesn’t mean you don’t want to wear something fun while you do it. Last Summer I spotted some amazing leggings at My Ginger Orange. I pretty much dreamt about them all year, and at Christmas I was

Vintage Stereotypes and How to Spot Them

Ever since I started blogging I’ve been a “Vintage” blogger. It doesn’t seem to matter how my style or the content of my blog has changed over the 8 years I’ve been blogging, I’ve always managed to fall enough under that banner to be considered “Vintage”. The term “vintage” used to refer to vintage clothing,
