Does anyone else find it difficult to find the right store to buy clothes from? It feels like a game of retail Russian roulette. Recently, I was surprised to receive an email from someone asking if an outfit I had posted was from H&M, because she couldn't locate the jacket. I could not find the receipt. The jacket was passed to me in the dressing room as the assistant assured me the cut would complement my shape. The fit was perfect with cuff placement that did not require me to roll them. When I wore the jacket and a high-waisted pencil skirt to a Sunday brunch. I was ecstatic that the ..read more

I cannot recall a time when denim was not part of my wardrobe, dressed up or down no other fabric has the versatility or charm to transcend into every season.

The trends in denim fashion keep changing with the seasons. Personally, I am currently obsessed with large turn-ups, although they may not work well with flats. However, pairing them with kitten heels is my new obsession. I am glad that I took the time to ch ..read more

I’ve had enough of this Winter & I’m ready to move forward. It’s time to put away my Uggs, Wellies & over the knee boots. Normally, I would be embracing the various Fashion Week trends this time of year, but instead, I’m left feeling jealous, old & rather envious. The catwalks are brimming with young girls who have slim, undeveloped figures and an unparalleled freshness that only youth can bring. Their unlined faces are stunning, with any grey hair being only dyed highlights. I felt frustrated, envious, and depressed as I pondered the discarded fashion magazines scattered around m ..read more

Fashion is on the move once again, and Spring is looking spiffy, vibrant, colourful, rich, and defined. I'm embracing pinks, blues, stripes, and a kaleidoscope of Spring's best bouquets.

For the past 4 weeks, my Mother has been in hospital, but somehow I have managed to continue working. The impact mentally and visually my wardrobe provided has never been more evident, needed or appreciated.

Ok, I’m going to be honest ..these metallic stretch leggings were an impulse buy. Unable to try them on in M&S because they were in the children’s dept. I hoped for the best and wow. When worn top to toe the season’s sparkliest embellishment is clear. You may prefer an after-dark crystalised moment but for me the allure is timeless. Oh my goodness, how heavenly is this dress? For all-out glamour, you can’t go wrong with a ruched dress ..read more
