So… I blogged about getting down in the dumps (here) when my blog turned 1: those feelings were a direct result of analysing my self-worth against my stats on social media. Namely followers on Instagram. In that blog post, rather than focussing on the negatives, I decided to look at all the positive things which have resulted from a year of being on social media and…
Sunday? Again?! I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly chasing my tail at the moment: time is running so, so fast and I just can’t keep up. So I’d drafted a shell of this post on Friday, found my Stinker of the Week and Wildcard straight away, but rather unusually I couldn’t settle on my actual ‘chosen 7’ items (usually I can find the 7 and…
… bear with, this is fashion related I promise. Isn’t there an official Random Acts of Kindness day in February? or is it November? At the very least, there is a Foundation dedicated to the subject with numerous websites full of ideas as to what Random Act of Kindness you could carry out… you know, putting a little ‘surprise’ love note in a lunchbox for…
Hola! Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend? It’s the start of a month, which, in theory means, wages have been paid and a time to feel ‘flush’. However, just to buck the trend… I’m feeling a little skint at the mo and as such, thought I’d do a Sunday 7 full of little cheap-as-chips pick me ups. And I do mean cheap. And by…
…or more specifically, going slightly bananas! So this is a bit of an update/review post on the continued saga of “those topshop trousers” which have been mentioned once or twice over my last couple of posts: But more on that later. First, I fancy sharing my views on Bananas. As in the fruit… … the one you eat? Or don’t in my case. It’s a bit…
… 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,…
So… I saw this Bell Sleeve Shirt Dress on the New Look website and without a second thought, I’d ordered it: This is from New Look’s regular range – not Petites. Which meant of course, it would be longer on me – I’d hoped it would be full-on midi-length. In fact… the only thing about the dress which was bothering me was the sleeves… would…
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…
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…
So, thought I might talk about that number on the little white bit of fabric that sits on the inside neckline or waistband of our clothes. The size label. That little number which, the mere sight of – can cause some of us to come out in hives and sometimes make our palms itchy… all from frustration. Regardless of which end of the clothing size spectrum…
