I saw this Printed Button Back Sweater on one of Girls Aloud (!) on a cooking show. It may have been a summer version as it was a while ago, and it looks a lot lighter in this photo on Spotted.TV’s blog… I’d dithered about ordering one, really thought they looked like backwards cardigans and although […]
I picked up these espadrille wedges in Target last night and like them until I tried to walk in them today. They are humungous and fall off my heel non-stop, can’t take even one step. Reading the reviews for the colour I chose, they all say the same. Ugh, browse reviews before you buy, Iolanthe! […]
I grew up not celebrating St Patrick’s Day in any way, I don’t think anyone in Britain or Ireland really did (does?). Since finding my bio-family a few years ago and discovering that I am the daughter of a passport-carrying born-in-Ireland Irish man, and about 50% Irish on my mother’s side to boot, I thought […]
I’m on a spending freeze for 30 days, sounds pathetically short, I should be able to do this. I don’t splurge thousands, but I am a careless impulsive shopper and chuck in things here and there and of course they all mount up. The OH has just done our taxes and I have volunteered to […]
I don’t remember if I was in a “buy bright colours” phase when I bought this, or whether there was only this colour left in my size… but it certainly is an unusual colour for me. I have a cushion in the exact same shade and texture which makes this sweater feel a bit frumpy […]
…if I dress like it, maybe it will happen?! I love this Madewell Storyteller New York scarf but can never tie it nicely without either looking like a cowboy or my dear old Grannie, so I did some googling this morning and found a great article on Wonderhowto linking to an Hermès pdf with […]
I bought these Ugg Kensington boots from eBay, seller had only worn them a few times, they were in very good condition and a great price. I haven’t had Uggs before, I thought they were cool when they came out, then a bit chavvy, but I loved the idea of the warmth and flat sole […]
I tried and failed at coloured jeans at the end of summer, red cropped Gap ones just made me look ridiculous. I thought I’d give the trend another go after seeing so many fabulous burgundy ones on others. These are not my perfect coloured jeans, I think they wrinkle too much but that seems […]
