Back when I started this blog I’d never read a blog in my life. In fact, until the day I started it I didn’t really know what a blog was. It was 2008 and blogs had just never really entered my sphere of reference before. Then I went unexpectedly self-employed and while looking for ways

I’ve swooned over Chi Chi London dresses for some time. But I never actually got around to buying one. They were always on my wish list, but there’s always something else to spend money on that isn’t beautiful frocks.

When I was a teenager I used to make my own beauty products a lot. From intensive hair conditioners to body scrubs and facemasks, I would often raid my Mums kitchen cupboards to make beauty concoctions. Then I started buying them in packets from Boots and I mostly stopped. Monday’s #GlamorousJuly challenge was to treat

Any guide to clearing out your wardrobe always contains instructions to get rid of anything you haven’t worn for a year. Personally I think that’s way too short a time. This dress, for instance. I am certain I never wear it more than once a year, but I love it and it’s not going anywhere.
