I was reading an interesting post earlier this month about a mother who had made the decision not to buy her children anything new in 2019. She claimed they already had everything they could need for the year ahead. Her thought process had apparently stemmed from adopting the same approach for herself in 2018. A...

Even as we enter a new year, we always forget the importance of reflection. Of looking back and taking stock. Of admitting what we did, how we felt and what we want to change or improve on. Without this, we simply continue, content or not, until another week, month or year passes us by.  Reflection...

They say, don’t they, that a tidy house equals a tidy mind. There is certainly some truth in this, for the majority at least.

Autumnal hues
It’s no secret that the autumn months conjure up an array of beautiful hues and tones. You only need to step foot into your favourite high-street store to see beautiful burnt oranges, rusts, deep browns, soft greys, wine-rich tones and khaki greens. The colour palette for the months that lay ahead is in stark contrast...

Autumn footwear
When it comes to the colder months, it seems we take more sartorial decisions into consideration for fear of being too cold or rained upon. Not only must we consider what coat or jacket we are going to take as we peruse the weather forecast, or whether or not to take a warm wool scarf,...
