Are you a culottes-crazy like me? I am *in* love with them. Bit OTT? Well, the original idea behind culottes came about from skirts being split into two legs so that ladies wouldn’t have to ride side saddle or some such. Or in other words: they gave women a bit of equality and freedom if you like. So, what’s not to love? Although I will state now for…
Where’d you get those sneakers?! I’d been adding both of these HM velcro strapped sneakers in and out of my basket for what felt like months. I wanted a perfect pair of pure white sneakers, to go perfectly with a lightly tailored, minimalist look that I hope to cultivate: In my head, I was already wearing these: I was wearing them with kick-cropped jeans (which I don’t…
… really is gold. And silver. And pewter… …in fact, if you love metallics (which I do) you will be in heaven right now given just how much shiny stuff is out there in the shops right now. For me, my love of all things shiny, gold in particular, has come with age. If you were to ask my mum about this, she’d tell you…
Who out there remembers the Clothes Show? You know, that old BBC chestnut from back in the day: the one presented by the rather flirty & giggly Selina Scott and Jeff Banks and then eventually, by Caryn Frank as well…? Well if you can’t remember it, its well worth a google, if for nothing else but a bit of a laugh! Honestly, it’s a classic… sort…
Welcome to another Big Unwrap, this time, a couple of pieces from the ASOS White collection, one of their own labels. I love this collection with its minimalistic aesthetic & slightly masculine tailoring. It’s branded as being ASOS’s premium, luxe range and as such is pricier than regular ASOS labeled clothing. If I had to compare it to anywhere else, I guess its not a million…
I guess I should start with an apology for being a bit rubbish with blogging last week: having only started Small Town Threads the week before with such gusto & high hopes of regular blogging, I found it had to take a back seat, mainly due to our new baby, Sylvie, our 8 week old mini schnauzer pup… but also because I hit a bit of…
Welcome to the Big Unwrap: I hope you like my video…? After receiving my & Other Stories order last week, I was itching to open it straight away, as you can imagine… however, I held off until my lovely parter was available to help video my first Big Unwrap. Both items were purchased from the & Other Stories Sale, which is, in my opinion a really…
So yesterday, I did the mad dash with my sister (- within school hours) to Bournemouth ( – 2 hour round trip) for a quick whizz around some actual, *real* shops. Once the puppy arrives on Saturday, I don’t think I will be going any where near any shops for a few weeks. Hallelujah & Amen for the internet & online shopping! But, aside from…
I’m not designed to do the morning school run. Fact. Its not that I can’t get up & get going, I can. Even if I’m not a morning person, I can get up & get organised, its really not that big of a deal. What I am not so good at is the stepping outside into the COLD. Today is my idea of weather hell: wind-blowing-rain-in…
Hello… and *breathe*… This is a big deal for me: putting myself out there somewhere on the world-wide-web after many years of shunning the likes of Myspace & Facebook and what not. But, I guess, the time feels right. I’ve also probably given it away, that I’m hardly a ‘girl’ given I am old enough to remember Myspace! Anyway, enough rambling and a proper introduction:…
