[unpaid/affiliate] Which of us does not own the ‘neutral’ leopard print in one form or another? I honestly thought I’d never get past my wild feline years but it looks like fashion is giving us a spin on animal inspired patterns so I’ve rounded up some I think are fun and fabulous. Boden has taken…

So, I can tell you that this feature started off with a full crochet brief but oh my goodness! As the current trends stand, for crochet, read naked, and frankly I am not ready for it. There’s so little er, string, between the holes and I couldn’t find any printable occasion for wearing most of…

[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] Dora is now going to doggy day care one day a week so I can get some work done without feeling guilty – she loves other dogs so she has a wonderful time. I also managed to get down to M&S to have a try on – and ended up buying – of the…

[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] For Friday treat today, it’s over to Uniqlo. I nipped in on my way to an event and I could have spent an absolute fortune…the teddy coats are back (I still have last year’s and the year’s before) but there is a fleece-teddy hybrid coat that is absolutely gorgeous. I’m using my awkward shop…

[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] Yes, another one. I was in my local H&M (which I don’t go to nearly as often now I have Dora) and spotted this apple green sweater and it seemed the perfect thing to segue into autumn with now that the days are a bit chillier. Down south, it’s currently cold in the mornings…

I have honestly been stalking the M&S website daily since I was at the press show and spotted this bag. As soon as I’ve written this post I’m buying one. I’ve noticed that, along with other mainstream brands, handbags are getting very designer looking. I have a couple of examples to make the point but…

[unpaid/sample] Back on the small brand trail this week and a new jewellery discovery. Actually, they got in touch via email and asked me to take a look at the range and if I wanted, they’d send a couple of items. I get many non-beauty offers like this and very rarely take them up but…

[unpaid/purchase/affiliate} I am very pleased with my blouse from – yes, you guessed it, H&M. I wanted to post it last week but it hadn’t made it to the online store. I picked mine up in my local store. I don’t often get myself into a pair of shorts but I’ve got a black cheesecloth…

[ownbrand/ad] So, I’ve been curious about Amazon Merch On Demand for a while so, with the help of Thom, who does my techie stuff (so I don’t have a complete nervous breakdown) I created these No t-shirts – with a V neck. I’ve complained on here about how none of the cool t-shirts have a…

[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] Back in the Christmas sales, I bit the bullet and bought an off-season grey linen bedding set from H&M which has absolutely come into its own now – I love it. I think it was £80 for a king (it had no packaging and was just lying all forlorn on a bottom shelf) but…

NB: Next week I will only be posting sporadically. [unpaid/affiliate/ad] I love a black dress in summer – I know it goes against hot weather thinking but unless you are out toiling the fields or similar, heat absorption is not the problem we were led to believe it might be! More fashion rule that need…

[purchase/affiliate] Here we are! The jumpsuit of the oh-so-many that I tried on that I have kept and absolutely love. It was the least expensive as well. I found this at Next under the XXXX label. It’s so unbelievably comfy and goes with absolutely any shoes you might already have – sandals, trainers, wedges and…

[purchase/affiliate] I know these bags have appeared before on Friday Treat day but I’ve just bought my third (yes, I know) and really, they’re my most used. They’re like little Tardises, holding far more than you could imagine. I love being freed from holding anything or having to put my bag down before I do…

[purchase/affiliate/ad] At the moment I feel really reluctant to pay out on expensive clothes – there’s just nothing that appeals to me enough that I want to make a hard spend. In any case, the high street is doing a great job just now – good case in point, Matalan, where I went to buy a sports…

[purchase/affiliate] I keep promising not to do another homage to H&M but I had a little try on of this white denim jacket in store on Thursday and it’s just the answer to what to wear over any dress. White trainers optional but it’s a very good look. These pictures are from the changing rooms…
