#MyStyleMyDress Challenge

I know blogging is my job, but sometimes I do stuff just because I think it might be fun. This is one of those things. I get an awful lot of emails asking me to do stuff. They fall into 4 camps. The fun stuff that I am interested in and comes with offers of

Easter Sunday Sunshine Dressing Down in Denim

I hope you’re all enjoying a lazy Bank Holiday? Alternatively I hope you’re busy doing all that DIY you’ve been putting off for ages. The weather is pretty grotty here today, and I hear some areas of the country have had what passes for a hurricane in the UK, which means some fences have blown

Style Evolution Mk II – 5 Years of My Personal Style

Sometimes I find it amazing when I realise I’ve been blogging for 8 years. Last week while I was scrolling through old posts and doing all those maintenance things, like fixing broken links and images and updating out of date bits, I found an old post I’d written about how my personal style had evolved

Outfit Post: Rock n Roll Vintage

I couldn’t resist going a bit rock n roll vintage with this skirt. It’s a blooming amazing skirt, full, black cotton from Ted Baker, with a button fastening back, wide high waist and POCKETS! And it didn’t cost me a penny thanks to my lovely friend Lori from Rarely Wears Lipstick having a wardrobe clear

Norwich Fashion Week 2016 – The Vintage Show

I had intended today to be a round-up of a few things I’d been to see during Norwich Fashion Week 2016. Except in the end I only went to see one as that lurgy that was threatening on Sunday has turned up and knocked me for six so I am currently a big self-pitying mess.

Review – SEVENTEEN Long Lash Mascara

I’m a bit weird about Make-Up. I love trying new things, but unless it’s at least twice as good as what I’m already using I’m painfully loyal to certain products. This means I have bags and drawers full of half used products that have betrayed me by promising the earth and then I’ve gone straight

Outfit Post: Pinned It, Spinned It

Yeah, that’s right, I’m down with the kids. I learnt a new hashtag on Instagram the other day #pinneditspinnedit though I think its been around for about 3 years, so as ever I am way behind the times. It looks like originally it was an outfit challenge group, but people seem to use it for

Friday Frock Love – Super Hero Stripes

I have a serious fondness for super bold stripes. There’s something about how simple, yet dramatic they are that makes me feel like a comic book super hero. Especially when teamed with bright colours and bold lipstick. I’m not talking breton stripes, though they have their place they’re more classic and chic. I mean stripes
