Are you longing for more clothes, shoes and accessories but is your wardrobe bursting to the seams? Mine too. Answer sell all the unwanted (ie not worn for 3 years, too small, too 80s, bit ragged, just weird) on Ebay. Sell 10 things and buy one wonder item eg a Stella Mccartney pink blush jacket [...]

Why Zara is one of the best high street shops: 1) Zara is ubiquitous on any high street almost anywhere in the World so the fear is that if you buy something there and wear it, everyone will know it’s from Zara. Which is fine. And/or someone will be wearing it too. When you’re around. [...]

OK, I have an ongoing obsession with wedge trainers… First there were the oh-so-gorgeous and yet oh-can-I-justify-spending-so-much-on-what-are-trainers-afterall Isabel Marant trainers.  Resisted them to then fall for the Ash versions (somewhat cheaper)… Then got a pair or cheapo Asos ones as well (trainer-love there too) and now… Nike (Nike!) have come out with their take on [...]

The Swedish label, Acne…  I’ve been obsessed with this label for years.  I don’t know how they do it but their clothes are simple and yet edgy, cool, special and never try-hard.  On the hanger, they don’t usually stand-out (although their fabrics cry out to be stroked) but try on one of their dresses or their [...]
