She also taught me a lot about how to dress,Continue reading “5 Style Tips from Grandma”
Revamping an old favourite: saving my Coach handbag from the bin
I’m having a massive clearout at the moment. My entire family is – we have to clear out Grandma’s bits and we’re also taking the time to have a good sort out of our own stuff. My eBay selling list has never been so full, and it feels good. Clothes and accessories are part ofContinue reading “Revamping an old favourite: saving my Coach handbag from the bin”
