The first glimpse of spring for me is my neighbour’s Magnolia Tree, the most majestic of bold pink petals growing high into the sky. The second is the sudden burst of cherry blossom in our garden. Hundreds of tiny buds open to display an astonishing show of pink. The Magnolia and The Blossom have two… Read More Packing for a Spring Break
Hey hello A couple of weeks back I caught some shows at London Fashion Week. This sounds like such an easy, cool thing to do. Cool it is but easy it is not!

We are kinda in the middle of the bleak midwinter here in Blighty. Except its not been that bleak, I mean its very cold but we have had an astonishing amount of sun shine days. I mean I’ve spent as much time in ballet flats and trainers as full on boots. To be honest… Read More Topshop Ankle Boots

Here are my tips on shelf… Read More How to Dress a Shelf
Few things in life inspire me as much as Charity and Fashion when they combine it makes me very happy. A couple of weeks ago I was invited to The Good Look Fashion Show.

Back in the Summer, I was asked to attend a shop opening. No ordinary shop this was a brand new British Red Cross Charity Shop on Portobello Road, West London. I arrived at 164 Portobello Road ready for a rummage through the usual charity shop donations, perhaps I would get a bargain? Or designer find,… Read More British Red Cross Shop Portobello Road

I caught a few… Read More London Collections Men

For this season frayed jeans (soft, comfortable denim) clog sandals of various colours and heights, shirts, striped, frilled, plain white and a good smartish jacket. This last week I’ve found a new staple that I now seem to be wearing every day, behold the statement necklace. I’ve… Read More The Statement Necklace – Style Diary #08
I couldn’t pull myself out of bed this morning. Not a hangover from the bank holiday but an amazing feed of beautiful people in the most overly sparkly frocks. I was, of course, on Instagram glued to the morning after last night’s Met Gala. The annual Met Gala held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in… Read More Met Gala 2016

This Summer the high Streets are embracing the… Read More Silver Leather – Style Diary #07
