It’s Wednesday lunchtime, I’ve just made a cup-a-soup for a quick lunch break from the mountain of ironing that has built up from a busy weekend and the very second that I raise my first spoonful of soup to my mouth, Mr T saunters into the kitchen and announces he needs a screen break & is going to stroll into town to grab a bite to…
Hello! I did it! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that there have been some tech-issues in the Threads household this week: Mr T’s laptops (yes, two of them!) have given up the ghost so he’s been stuck like a limpet to my (well, the ‘family’) iMac from early doors til late most evenings. Thus leaving me no scope to blog from…
Hello again! It feels like a nano-second ago that I sat here and typed last week’s Sunday 7… blogging twice a week seems to make the weeks feel much shorter somehow! Today, I thought I’d talk bags. And rather selfishly, this isn’t really a list of the latest and greatest bags out there… no, it’s more a list of bags which have caught my eye…
So, this is the last of my reflective posts, looking back at the past year of blogging and how I plan to move forwards. And so, thinking about my wardrobe, I feel like I’ve moved forwards quite a lot… What’s missing though are some rather boring, but much needed basics: regular long sleeve and short sleeve tees (preferably plain, or striped); crew neck knits, and…
Hello! It is almost… almost, properly Spring: yay! We’ve had a couple of very mild, sunny 16 degree kind of days where, forget needing any kind of coat or jacket, it was almost warm enough to go short sleeved! OK, I exaggerate. But how lovely to feel the warmth from the sun rather than just the cold-crisp winter sun’s rather nothingy glare. And with Spring in…
So time sure does fly when you’re a grown-up, doesn’t it? As mentioned at the end of my last post – I’ve felt a bit low over the past week in the run up to my blog turning 1 on Monday… in part because that is just how I get about birthdays because… I’m a bit weird; but another part of me felt low because that old…
Hello, and welcome to this week’s Sunday 7. My fifth one in a row – whoop! OK, probably not quite enough cause to celebrate just yet… but feeling a teeny, tiny bit happy with myself about it. That is all. Today I’ve got another mixed bag for you, a bit of a hotchpotch, and after writing about how I may need to purge print from my…
So, can you believe it? On Monday next week, my blog turns 1! This is a massively big deal for me… and given I started this blog to keep track of how I built my threadbare wardrobe up after several years of neglect, I figured it would be nice to take a look back, as well as forwards. So, for the whole of March, in…
Hello & welcome to another Sunday 7. Blimey Sunday’s come round fast, don’t they?! This week I’m going to run through 7 of what I think are the best high-street statement tee’s. And by ‘statement’ tee, I suppose I mean slogan t-shirts… which are very regular t-shirts with some added interest. I had wanted to do a full list of tee’s which simply have…
So… following on from my Hair Story post, I thought I’d share my Daniel Galvin (DG’s from here on in)…hair experience with you. Now before I get into it, if you’re wondering why I chose this salon over, say, George Northwood – which comes highly recommended on Instagram, or indeed any other London salon for my haircut: it’s simple… DG comes highly recommended by a friend of mine here…
