Sunday 7 – Cheap Treats (Feb 19)

Feb 3rd, 2019 Sunday 7 Bean 15 min read

[AD – some (about half) affiliate links have been used in this blogpost.] Hello, How’s your week been? Aside from the inevitable minor dramas which, when living in England, go hand-in-hand with a wee dusting of snow… not much going on here at Chez Threads this past week. We may have finally, finally… like… f.i.n.a.l.l.y. said goodbye to January, but the ‘hangover’ of fatigue from what…

Sunday 7 – Getting Autumn Ready

Sep 23rd, 2018 Sunday 7 Bean 19 min read

Hello! How’s your week been? I’ve spent most of it up to my eye balls in paint: egg-shell and the regular wall stuff… what ever it’s called?! Oh and wall-papering. And as such, I am very tired. Right through to the marrow of my porous, brittle, little bones. But there’s always time for a quick fashion scroll of an evening, not matter how bloody-shot and…

Sunday 7 – Autumn basics

Sep 9th, 2018 Sunday 7 Bean 16 min read

Hello! And welcome back to my first weekly Sunday 7 after a month off!  Hope you all survived the summer holidays? I’m loving getting back to a normal routine: the kids are back at school; the never ending sales have *almost* ended; there have been proper New Season drops in the shops & the temperatures have finally dropped enough to make it acceptable to talk Autumn fashions….

Sunday 7 – Jump for Sun!

Hello! So I’ve had a couple of weeks off from the blog, just stuff like being on holiday and spending time with my family kind of took over. Which is never a bad thing. Anyway, I’m back, and today I’m talking about all-in-one’s of the dungaree/ jumpsuit / playsuit variety. Not everyone’s cuppa, I know… but I really rather love them, particularly in the warmer…

Sunday 7 – Craving Colour

Apr 1st, 2018 Sunday 7 Bean 15 min read

Hello, and welcome to an Easter Sunday 7! Not that there’s anything Easter-y about this post, it just happens to be Easter… which means we’re in April already! So, what have I got in store for you today? Colour. At this time of year… every year… I start craving some colour in my wardrobe. I’m not the most daring when it comes to wearing prints…

Sunday 7 – For now, For Spring

Jan 14th, 2018 Small Talk Bean 26 min read

Hello! How are you all doing this week? For me, this week has *got* to have been one of the loooooongest weeks e.v.e.r. I don’t know what it was given the weather wasn’t super terrible, and nothing in particular happened which I can think of that made the week awful… but boy did it drag. The relief when Friday evening came round was simply enormous!…

Sunday 7 – Velvet Heaven

Nov 12th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 22 min read

Hello! How’s your week been? Well, it’s actually the past two weeks, given I had a much needed weekend off… I’ve been on a very bumpy ride on the ‘parent rollercoaster’ this week, with a very, very poorly small child, but all is good now. So, from the title of this post, you’ve probably guessed I’m looking at all things velvet this week and having missed last…

Sunday 7 – Midi Skirts

Oct 9th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 11 min read

Hello! And welcome to another another Sunday 7. After wasting a good couple of days this week, faffing about choosing a wedding outfit, I settled on a maxi skirt & top combo… this skirt would in reality be a midi length on most, but of course it was a full length number on titchy moi. Anyway, it got me to thinking about midi skirts… and…

Sunday 7 – Simplicity

Hello! What a week it’s been here… the week of the annual T-family birthday treble (more on that later) but suffice to say, I’m shattered! Today, I hope to keep my waffle to a minimum and get stuck in, but… I do want to say that it’s been a struggle to find 7 items I *love* simply because we’re getting to that funny time of year in…

Sunday 7 – Black Cats are Lucky

May 21st, 2017 Small Talk Bean 18 min read

Hello!  This Sunday I have woken up feeling every one of my 45 years (11 months & 2 weeks). My 8 year old’s busy schedule seems to have taken over: driving him an hour away to a ‘Maths Challenge Day’ on Friday and wasting my day (5 hours) waiting around for him to finish – as in, I then drove a further 2 hours round trip…
