How to shop without trying anything on
In this strange time, one of the unfortunate realities, at least here in the UK, is that when you’re out on the high street, you can’t go into a fitting room to try anything on. All the fitting rooms have a sign that says ‘fitting room closed’. Darn you Covid-19. Trying on clothes is halfContinue reading “How to shop without trying anything on”

Tips for finding the perfect pair of jeans, no matter your size, shape or budget
The importance of comfortable shoes
I’ve blogged about this before, I’m sure I have, but it’s about time for an update. I’m getting older. We all are. Time marches on and there comes a point when your body, specifically your spine and your feet, say ‘no more’. No more what? No more shoes that leave your feet in agony. I’mContinue reading “The importance of comfortable shoes”
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.

The Importance of Fit
The more I read, and the more I speak to people, the more it seems that there is a lot of misunderstanding around the word ‘fit’ in relation to clothes. I asked a friend of mine what she thought was meant by the term ‘fit’ and after thinking for a while, she said ‘I guessContinue reading “The Importance of Fit”
Autumn/Winter Fashion Trends
It’s September. Summer is done, and we’re all back at work and school, our vacation days on a sunny Spanish beach just a hazy memory and a collection of slightly blurred Facebook photos. It’s also the month when the autumn/winter fashion really takes over the shops, and the September issues of the fashion magazines areContinue reading “Autumn/Winter Fashion Trends”
Finding Footwear: The Minefield of Shoes
Let me be the first to confess that I, in my youth, made some horrible choices of footwear. I used to wear those awful platform trainer made popular by The Spice Girls. I had a pair of ‘goth’ boots that were the comfiest things in the world but made me look like I wanted toContinue reading “Finding Footwear: The Minefield of Shoes”
