Countdown with Class…

There’s a bit of a calendar theme emerging here don’t you think? Yesterday post was on calendar jewellery and today’s is on Advent Calendars. I suspect this is a theme that will burn itself out pretty quickly as I can’t think of anywhere else to go with it. The reason for todays post is that

Channeling Audrey Hepburn Hair…

I’ve had short hair for a long time. After an earlier experiment with a floppy Linda Evangelista cut I finally gave up long hair for good around the mid 90s and never looked back. Since then it’s generally hovered around chin length. Sometimes, when I couldn’t afford a hair cut, it made it’s way to

Tim Burton and some Halloween Fashion Inspiration

Shades of Autumn – In My Wardrobe

Following on from yesterdays search for autumnal inspiration I searched my wardrobe this morning to try and bring some of those rich tones into an outfit. My search of the  furthermost, non black, reaches of my wardrobe revealed that I’m way ahead of the game on autumnal browns and beiges, I could possibly open a

Sunday, Sunday and Some Autumnal Fun

Yesterday I took a lovely Autumnal afternoon walk. Outside it’s still really warm when the sun shines and really, erm, “crisp” (read “bloody freezing”) when it doesn’t. It was Sunday, so boring old jeans and T Shirt were in order. The T Shirt is a Rainbow Brite T Shirt, which makes me happy, even though

Luscious Lingerie – Fred & Ginger

I’m developing a bit of an obsession with gorgeous lingerie recently. I wrote about What Katie Did in August and there’s so many other brands I have my eye on that I might even make this a semi regular feature (semi regular = when I’m in the mood…)   Of course you might consider this
