[unpaid/affiliate} I’m flagging up that H&M has gone early on their £19.99 linen shirts. I bought three last year (Lucy bought two) and still, I couldn’t resist picking another up when I spotted them in my local store. This shade is called coral pink on the website but to me, it’s more of a geranium…

[unpaid/affiliate] Heard of Comfortcore? You can basically add the word ‘core’ to anything you can think of and it’s immediately a fashion trend. Comfortcore is just a fraction different to lounge wear in that it’s dressing for comfort with texture and fluidity such as boucle, jersey or velvet, but not forgetting the style. So, your…

[unpaid/affiliate] What very much cheered up walking down Regent Street in the rain yesterday was passing H&M Home and spotting their new Pantone collaboration. The things we are short on in this house is trays – we don’t need them often but when we do we literally only have one. I do have a round…

[unpaid/purchase/affilialte] There’s nothing like the perfect pink to throw some light into otherwise gloomy January days. This vest was a gift (as in a proper present from my mum, rather than ‘gifted’) and it’s just a delight. I’ve been looking and looking for the right knitted vest, spotted this on M&S just before Christmas so…

[purchase/affiliate] My birthday and Christmas are really close together so Mr BBB is usually asking what I’d like in mid November (we gave up on surprises when he bought me a giant leather bean-bags that apparently I’d said were quite nice when we were walking round a market together … I have no memory of even…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I’m up to here with beauty this week so I’ve done a quick pick from Hush which is never not a favourite place to shop. They’ve got 20% off, XMAS20, site-wide, so do take a look. I love Hush styling – this teal cardigan is going to be just as at home with jeans…

[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] Okay, so I have well and truly embraced the flare – I am not feeling it just now for my beloved skinnies (which is a great pity since I have so many pairs!). I got myself two pairs of the black flares I showed a couple of weeks ago, Lucy has two pairs and…

[unpaid/purchase/affiliate] When I was in Stockholm visiting Max, he took me to a shop called Lindex which is part of the H&M group. As soon as I saw a green scarf I grabbed it and have worn it so many times already. It was about £15 and last time I looked they had run out…

[unpaid/affiliate] The most useful accessory I’ve ever found – a crossbody bag for your phone. I’ve ordered a couple already as gifts and I bought myself an Accessorize one as a ‘practice’ to see if I could get along with it before (maybe) going a bit more luxy. I mean, Christmas is coming etc ;-). Phone bags…

[unpaid/affiliate] I think I say every year that the best time to buy your cashmere is the summer because brands are keen to be rid of left over stock so they can bring in new styles so they drop the prices right down. Cashmere is often timeless in design so one year isn’t much different…

[purchase] I thought I’d quickly show you (with more awkward clothes shots!) the dress I finally, last-ditch effort found for Saturday’s wedding. Obviously, I won’t be wearing my sports bra with it! I’m planning to accessorise with layered chains, lots of gold bracelets and I think gold wedge espadrilles. I like it because it’s got…

[unpaid/affiliate]  I so much prefer a v-neck t-shirt over a round neck – unless it’s a loose neck style with a little bit of a scoop I feel rather strangled and also feel that my neck looks too long. I don’t know why – but here we are. I was doing a little bit of…

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad]  This is really an 11th hour post because the Accessorize sale is drawing to a close – I’ve got two of their beach bags and absolutely love them. One is sold out (grr) but the other is still in stock and I’ve included non-sale because I think they’re good value. Whenever I’m on holiday…

[purchase/affiliate] The beauty well is dry! I just felt a bit ‘up to here’ with it this week so I’m doing a bit of an awkward, self-concious ‘what I bought in the sale’ post – opinions welcome on the red dress; lovely as it is I am not sure it is lovely on me but…
