Winter dressing can be quite the conundrum. Waking up to complete darkness outside and frost on the ground calls to both our inner caveman and our primeval instinct for self-preservation. Must. Build. Fire. Realistically, this means only one thing – layers. And lots of them. But there is something distinctly un-sexy about leaving the house...Read More
In almost every wardrobe I have the pleasure of de-cluttering and restyling, I find them.
