It was my second time to Rome last weekend after visiting the Eternal City a couple of years ago for just 24 hours before a wedding; it was July, swelteringly hot and humid, meaning I didn’t enjoy dressing as much as I usually do. This time however, again visiting Rome for wedding (I know, my… Continue reading What I Wore, When in Rome

How to Style White Jeans for Spring
Nothing says spring like a pure white pair of jeans, especially spring 2018. In the past they have got a bad rep and been associated with women including J-Lo circa 2001’s Love Don’t Cost a Thing, polymath presenter Clare Blading and Liz Hurley: too r ‘n’ b, too Sloane and St Tropez. I love fresh… Continue reading How to Style White Jeans for Spring
Matchy-Matchy: Collars, Cuffs and Earrings
I don’t consider myself a matchy-matchy dresser, I’m more than happy to wear clothes and accessories that clash or not even that exciting, just sit together and don’t say much.

Gingham, Military and Pops of Red for Day 2 at LFW
Since buying these dungarees last autumn I’ve worn them with everything from white shirts to polo necks, underneath blazers and bombers and with courts, heels and boots. With both gingham and brass buttons, this look is a mix of Oklahoma farm girl and naval uniform. I love the current trend for bright red boots and… Continue reading Gingham, Military and Pops of Red for Day 2 at LFW
Do You Agree to Dungaree?
It was Christmas 1996 and to this day I remember my best present: a pair of fleece lined dungarees from Gap, not only the cosiest but at the time, coolest. Since then, whether they’ve been on-trend or not I’ve loved dungarees. Saying that, I totally understand why over the age of 11, some may think they… Continue reading Do You Agree to Dungaree?
