Do you remember all those weeks ago, back at the the beginning of July, when I didn’t win a trip to Paris? It was part of a competition with Sarenza where bloggers sent in their photos in their shoes from the Sarenza Continental Fashion Findings range and the Great British Public™ (or some of them,
I am definitely never knowingly under-dressed. But occasionally I am unknowingly over-dressed. Yesterday we headed out to meet up with some old friends who were holidaying on the North Norfolk coast. Anticipating a pleasant afternoon of pottering around antiques shops, followed by fish and chips and a couple of beers in a quaint cottage I
In the 20s and 30s it was considered a little “extreme” to paint your entire fingernail. The “moon” manicure or reverse French Manicure was far more common.

Lusting over things you can’t afford can be pretty depressing. I, however, have no illusions that I will ever be purchasing myself a Christian Dior Couture outfit (at least not anytime soon. I do play the lottery though….) This acceptance of a simple fact moves lusting over runway collections into different territory than depressing myself
No vintage look is complete without a proper hair do. For years I’d admired elaborate rolled hair dos, curls and fingerwaves, but remained totally convinced (with good reason after years of half hearted experimentation) that the most I could expect of my fine flat hair was a small bun. Then in December I met Flamingo
Last year I started this series in order to give me an excuse to virtually nose around the wardrobes of some of my favourite bloggers. It kind of faded out, but I’ve decided to revive it as I’m incredibly nosey. Following on from Style Symmetry, Dramatis Personae and The Style PA this time I’m having
