Middle age comes with it’s problems, not only do we have the menopause madness, expanding waistlines, and greying hair (if we didn’t have it before now) but, in my case, broken nails that won’t grow again. I loved my nails, I would spend such a long time shaping and painting them, then the menopause came…

What would Holly Golightly wear today? Holly Go-Lightly, (she feels the hyphen gives her an air of sophistication), sits on a bench in Central Park, wearing mom jeans, a Breton and loafers (her mature student look), she sits with her legs crossed, sipping from a smoothie and reading (with her Tiffany glasses on) a battered…

So today, I went to my local shopping mall, just for a browse and to drag my butt off the seat (before I got too comfortable watching Sunset Beach). Now, I know it’s only May but usually at this time of year the shops are brimmed full of colour for the impending summer months and…

I can remember the days when being told to wear my blazer to school was an absolute chore. Now, I look forward to it. Spring/Summer 2022 has shops jammed pack full of them and thankfully, as this season is all about colour , the blazer is looking better than ever (previous seasons were all Ralph…

Spring/Summer 2022 sees the return of the ‘mini’, not that it has ever really went away, however over the past few years we have been more inclined to wear it over the Autumn/Winter months, with thick black Opaques, chunky knits and boots. We have Mary Quant (above) to thank for it’s arrival, some 60 years…

Step away from the black…. as colour is back…. with a vengeance. Spring/Summer 2022 is filled with it. After a gloomy couple of years the crème de la crème of fashion designers have added more than a ‘pop’ of colour into their Runway collections Alluring Alberta Ferretti  Giorgio Armani’s Amazing Ignite with Isabel Marant Very…
