… so following on my from my previous Christmas Gift Guide post, where I confessed that although I seem to want masses of clothes all year round and yet, at this time of year, I tend to hit a bit of a blank. A more frugal shopper that I would have have been noting stuff down as they spotted things for a “wanted list” and…
So… there are a great many things I want, primarily for my home… however, I spend every spare hard earned eBay penny on clothing & shoes. Fact. And for my birthday in the summer, I have no qualms in requesting more clothing bits and bobs, even though I buy for myself all year round. However, at Christmas, I’m the classic “can’t think of anything I…
… and a couple of old ‘friends’ of course. This is my round-up from last week’s Spirit of Christmas Fair at Olympia, where some 750 independent boutiques, all hand-picked by House & Garden, gathered under the colossal pink & silver adorned roof of Kensington Olympia. I’d never been to any kind of fair at Olympia before – a gig or two back in the day,…
Unless you’ve been living under a rock since August, that time of year when all the new Autumn /Winter loveliness hits our stores, you will have noticed that *the* coat to buy this season would be a Leopard Print coat. From Fearne Cotton sporting a bargainous £29.99 Tesco’s F&F one… … to Lauren Laverne sporting the much pricier (£189) and again, SOLD OUT Boden one: And,…
Waaaaaaay back in March, when I published my very first blog post, I lamented the loss of shopping in fabulous independent boutiques after moving from London to my Small Town. When I lived in South West London (Clapham then Battersea followed by Tooting), I was never far from such boutiques in Clapham Old Town, Northcote Road and Wimbledon Village. These boutiques generally carried stock that was certainly…
I recently placed an order with Boden, something I haven’t done in almost 2 years now. As per my last post, having had several items, jumpers mainly wrecked by my tired-fatigued brain (you know, when you put your non tumble-dry sweaters in the tumble-dryer by accident?) and by my youngest (see last post!), I feel like my life is in a much better place now…
These are the boots which I fell in love with last Spring (2015), and which are responsible for reigniting my love for fashion, and ultimately, led to this blog: A friend of mine did somewhat taint these boots for me by declaring they had a “touch of the Gary Glitter’s” about them” but ultimately, it was true love. Here they are in gold and wine: Now,…
Hello!! My holiday is over, and my little moon has started school, albeit half days for 3 weeks and so, (hopefully) normal service will resume. This post has been in ‘draft’ status for the past two weeks, during which time both New York and London Fashion weeks have taken place… Fashion doesn’t stop for anyone. Especially if you’ve fallen off the blogging wagon and been sucked…
So this isn’t going to be one of my usual ‘fashion’ posts per se, rather it’s an attempt at the other type of styling that I have a thing for, interiors. As you know, I’m pretty new to blogging, and this is my first attempt at blogging about Interiors: I don’t know any fancy terminology and suchlike but I do know what floats my boat…
Tomorrow I fly out to Barcelona, a city that’s on my bucket list. Excited doesn’t even begin to sum it up. The whole Small Town Threads family is going, and after a fortnight in the city, we then have a further 2 weeks up coast. Yep, you read that right: FOUR weeks in Spain!! So how is it that we can go on ‘holiday’ for a…
