Sunday 7 – Lines

Apr 30th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 24 min read

… vertical stripes, depending on how you look at it? I see lines. In fact, I’ve been ribbed about this very subject before (as in lines vs stripes) by my friends, as they simply couldn’t understand why I saw, and described vertical stripes as lines: but I can’t help it – it’s just what I see. Stripes are horizontal, aren’t they?  Like a Breton…?  Plus,…

Sunday 7 – Something Small

Apr 23rd, 2017 Small Talk Bean 18 min read

Hello! And welcome back after my Easter Sunday off: even bloggers need a break sometimes, right? I think that my Sunday 7’s generally seem to be random stuff which has caught my eye over the past week from my ‘New in’ emails, magazines and of course my Instagram feed. However, I often bang on (and on and on…) about being small, short… extra petite and…

Worth waiting for

Apr 20th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 9 min read

So, in an online shopping world where a great many shops offer next day delivery (as long as you’ve ordered by 3pm that day), I waited a whopping 24 days for my Sezane La Femme tee to arrive. It was pretty frustrating, as there wasn’t much in the way of progress updates / info on my account regarding the order. Though in part, I will…

Sunday 7 – A Girly One

Mar 26th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 14 min read

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…

Sunday 7 Bag Lady

Mar 19th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 15 min read

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…

Out of Print

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…

Sunday 7 – Cool High St Tees

Feb 26th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 17 min read

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…

A Hair Story

Feb 9th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 12 min read

So this is a rather self indulgent post about my hair, and the drama, of what on earth to do with it? Also included at the end is a review of a couple of items I recently ordered from Topshop. This quote recently appeared on my Instagram feed: And it spoke V.O.L.U.M.E.S. to me. You see, I’m one of those people who naturally has what you…

Sunday 7 – Topshop

Feb 5th, 2017 Small Talk Bean 17 min read

Welcome to my first Sunday 7… a new (hopefully) weekly post of my favourite 7 things I’ve spotted this week. I had planned to start this feature in January, but rather like all good New Years Resolutions… February is a much better month to start them, don’t you think?! Now, I didn’t mean for this to be just a Topshop Edit, but once I started scrolling…
