[purchase/affiliate] My only recent on-line clothing ordering success has been Hush – it’s been a while since I’ve bought anything from there and I’ve been reminded just how well they get sizing right and such a good leisure vibe as well. I am absolutely happy with this slightly sparkly knit top. It’s very light weight…

[affiliate/ad] I have completely gone off at a tangent for today’s post – I had some lovely summery Mavalas lined up but I found this dress and had to share it! During lockdown, when only the supermarkets were open, was when I really, properly looked at TU clothing – I even bought a couple of…

[unpaid/sample] I was offered the body care from MOAM Organics to trial but I opted for the laundry care because a) it makes a good change for me, b) being more mindful about what household cleaning items I use is something I’m getting on top of at the moment and c) it’s really quite a…

The only fashion brand that’s really speaking to me at the moment is H&M – they’re just so good at creating clothes for all shapes and sizes and that don’t break the bank. The last ‘luxury’ item I bought was a combat print Brodie Cashmere sweater and that was in the sale that they did…

[purchase/affiliate] The search for the perfect linen shirt is over. I’ve got a wardrobe stuffed with linen shirts that somehow aren’t ‘quite’ right – either they’re too heavy (in which case, when the sun is up, too hot), too light (creasing and looking limp) or too baggy (swamped at 5 foot 3). But, I picked…

[unpaid/affiliate AD ] I cannot remember the last time I wore a suit but I have both components of this very lightweight suit from last summer and in the limited ‘going out’ that I was doing at the time, either fitted the bill. A jacket is a t-shirt’s best friend – either with the suit…

[unpaid/sample] While I’m on the topic of sleep, my friend Daisie’s bamboo sleep wear is a revelation. You might remember Daisie Smith from her Beauty’s Big Sister YouTube channel and social media – Serena Days night wear is what Daisie did next :-). I think the target market for this collection is anyone who wants…

[unpaid/affiliate] This is a bit of a mish-mash of a post but last night, on my way to one of the maddest events I’ve ever been to (with my long suffering friend Navaz (disneyrollergirl.com) – see below) I stopped by both Uniqlo and Anthropologie on Regent Street just to see what’s new. Uniqlo was really…

[unpaid/affiliate/ad] We are – at last – scheduled some sunshine! I really haven’t done much summer wardrobe buying this year mainly because my WFH status doesn’t require anything fancy. My favourite outfit has been jeans and a white or pink linen top (both from H&M and I dyed the pink one myself) that I’ve just…

[unpaid/affiliate/ad] I was going to skip Friday treat this week but Lucy just wandered through in her Uniqlo pyjamas and said, ‘you should do these’… so here I am hastily throwing together the Uniqlo PJ edit! It’s fortuitous that she did because I’ve discovered Airism Snoopy PJs – 100% ordered! Uniqlo crops up a lot…

[unpaid/affiliate/ad] I was actually searching for paisley blouses when I came across this perfect summer piece from Mango. I’m moody about showing my arms – sometimes I don’t mind in the least and don’t even think about it and other times I’m happier with them covered. I can’t really explain it (I’m trialling Coolsculpt at…

[unpaid/affiliate] A linen shirt is just a classic wardrobe item – super useful and better understanding and working of the fabric means that they’re not quite so susceptible to looking like a crumpled mess within minutes. Personally, I don’t mind a bit of creasing because it’s not like I’m heading to the boardroom – that…

[unpaid/affiliate/ad] I’m not much of a fan of a cardigan but here we are in freezing cold May, resisting going back into full-on winter woolies but shivering in t-shirts. There’s not much call for jackets (those soft stretch jackets from Uniqlo are my default cardigans HERE and reduced from £35 to £19.90) which, although I…
