Another day, another dodgy hem by yours truly. These are very old trousers (and very big trousers – I got out the summer boxes and, oops, it seems hardly anything still fits, put 10lbs on since last summer! These were too big to wear last year but I kept them just in case… and this […]
There are a glut of these Boden Chic Beaded Tops WA347 on eBay, not sure why, I can’t see anything wrong with mine – nice fit, beadwork survived multiple washes… just not a popular line I guess. Oh well, my gain, I might pick up another one. Cracking out the shorts today, despite the fact […]
I can’t keep up, such changeable weather. I last wore this Joe Fresh tunic here and I’m not sure it’s a whole lot warmer today but I am braving Nehara ballet flats instead of boots. They come in wide width and are so comfortable. I haven’t had patent shoes since my “party shoes” when I was […]
I have just got back in to Joe Fresh, which is a supermarket own-brand clothes label here in Canada at the Weston (Loblaw/SuperStore/Zehrs etc) family of stores. I loved it when it first launched – reminded me of clothing at UK Tesco and Asda – but had a few disasters with washing things, they shrunk […]
After saying how I had neglected Lands’ End, I had a jolly good rummage around one in Michigan yesterday, under the guise of taking the car for a run. It’s been faulty, the stupid dealership finally put in a data recorder to capture the glitsch and will it happen? No, of course not, making me […]
Not the wisest thing to wear in this cold house today but I was completely lacking inspiration and time this morning and reached for this. I wanted to wear a purple dress but couldn’t find a decent layering top for underneath. Perhaps tomorrow. If I ever manage to sort the laundry… Jeans: Levi 512 straight […]
…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 don’t usually shop for groceries in Canada, it’s far too expensive so we buy almost everything across the border in the US at Meijer. But this week we missed our weekly shop due to travelling, so I had to suck it up and pay Canadian prices. It’s not only bad for the bank account […]
Back to arctic temps again here. I really wanted to wear this top with these Gap 1969 “leggings jeans” (they’re just thick leggings with pockets, not sure why they call them jeans, they certainly weren’t included in the 30% off jeans promo when I bought them, grrr…) and some wedges but of course light […]
