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…

I haven’t posted anything for a bit so I just thought to myself, why not rectify that. What’s been happening…. well, a lot of eating and too much vino, not enough exercise, back in the office – ‘hybrid’ working (blaaahhhh). I did have some lovely Lebanese food at the weekend, prior to seeing Jimmy Carr…

So, yesterday I was in the City Centre of Glasgow, for the first time in what seems like forever. It was great to see people out again in the sunshine, mulling around shops and for me it was a good chance to see just what everyone was wearing. The favoured look amongst many, the long…

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.

It freshens up the older woman’s complexion by…

Yves Saint Laurent once said ”Accessories are what, in my opinion, pull the whole look together and make it unique”, (and he would know having introduced jewellery to his couture collections and runway shows in 1962).

Well Ladies, for those of us working from home, it looks like the time has come to get our ‘ish’ together …. ……no more staying in ‘that’ onesie all day, no more scraping your hair back into ‘that’ scrunchie (whilst you drag your way over to the fridge or biscuit tin …… again!!!) The days…

Dorothy Parker once quoted ‘ men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses’ Maybe in your day daaahhhllliinnngg, but times have moved on and being a girl who wears glasses, I have never had any problems – keeping the men was more of a problem!!! It is now seen as niche to wear glasses,…

Casual Chic I have always been a fan of the Oxford Bags, from the early days of watching old b&w movies with my dad. The most iconic figure to wear them was of course, Katharine Hepburn. I love this look , it’s just so retro but soooo wearable present day Today we can dress up…
