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! In the 9 years I’ve been writing this blog it’s been red, brown, blonde, bright pink and purple, pastel pink and lilac, strawberry

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. This Sunday we went out for brunch. Nowhere exciting,

6 New Lindy Bop Novelty Prints I Love

It’s no secret that I have a bit of a thing for novelty prints. Vintage novelty prints can be hugely expensive and come with all the potential “OMG I DROPPED KETCHUP ON AN 80 YEAR OLD SKIRT!” pitfalls that you get with vintage. Years ago it was hard to find good novelty prints, but the

Stripes and Tulle

Tulle skirts have been a thing for a while. As I trend, I suspect that it will very soon be dead in the water, much in the way skinny jeans allegedly are, because I just gave in and bought one. This one, to be precise. When I first saw tulle skirts doing the rounds I dismissed them

Dresses, Cardigans and Sunglasses

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

The weather has finally broken and Autumn has arrived. This inevitably means that I have immediately started wanting an entire new Autumn wardrobe. I’m pinning pictures of tweed and plaid, cosy scarves over round neck jumpers and big skirts with leather jackets. Of course, as ever this urge comes at a time when I cannot

Away From the Seaside: Another Side of Great Yarmouth

So, this heatwave continues. Yesterday was supposed to be the hottest day EVER. So Mr Chick and I decided to make the most of our flexible working life, hop on a train, and spend the day in Great Yarmouth. Great Yarmouth is a classic British seaside town. All faded glory, seaside kiosks selling fish and

Looks Like Autumn Feels Like Summer

I’d like to talk about the weather for a while. Yeah, I know, how very British. But I’m starting to get incredibly grumpy about it. I mean, I live in England, I expect 4 days of sunshine and then it rains for the rest of Summer. This Summer the constant sunshine has been frankly confusing.

Sunday Funday – Casual Stripes

I hope you’re enjoying your Bank Holiday? Mine has been super busy so far, with even more going on today. Yesterday started with an ill-advised trip to the gym. Ill-advised because I have pulled a muscle in my thigh that I thought felt fine. Right up until the point I did a lunge and then
