    Having trawled the internet and September magazines I’ve come up with my favourite Overcoat so far, and yes it’s by M&S! The reasons that I like it are thus… 1/ It’s made of New Wool – Which is a Wool and Polyester mix, so the feel and touch of Wool but not scratchy with a bit…

    So Autumn is officially here.  I’ve really been looking forward to September and Autumn/Winter dressing.  The trouble is it still feels very summery, to be honest, early Autumn dressing can be a little tricky.  Sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, sunny, and so it goes on……. So I’ve taken two trends for Autumn Winter 2015, the Pussy…

      You may remember I wrote about Helly Hansen last year and their Cool Kit I talked about their use of bright colours and the way we now look at sports kit to do so much. After wearing my kit for a year I now had more requirements, I want a sports kit which is multipurpose,…

    August is finally here in all of its glory, full of Summer and holidays and opportunity.  August makes life better.  August is just peachy. A walk in the park, a plodge in the sea, reading a book in the sunshine, dozing on a sunny afternoon.  Ice Creams and sand in your toes. Sublime! August is…

    By far the most useful and loved items in my wardrobe are scarves. I’ve long been a lover of this silk, demure yet seductive accessory.  A new designer scarf in silk, or silk georgette is my idea of heaven. It’s the accessory that just keeps on giving, wear it around your neck, draping from your…

    I’m not really one for fake tan.  I tan easily and spend a lot of time outside so I usually end with an olive glow which Mr B calls my farmers tan. However due to this week’s inclement weather, I feel myself reaching for the bottle! Now having tested what’s on the market at the…
