Much like sourcing vintage and second hand items for the home, I am as much – if not a little more – enamoured with vintage clothing and accessories too. While the demand for fast fashion has showed no signs of slowing down, the enthusiasm for second hand clothing has certainly seen a rise in interest...Read More
I’ve written about the growing popularity of a capsule wardrobe before – the idea of shopping less but focusing more on quality and for some, how ethically items are made too. I think there is definitely something in this, and while I don’t think fast fashion will ever slow down, it’s important to be more...Read More
Blair Waldorf once said “Fashion is the most powerful art there is” and she was just as right then as she is now. Fast forward some ten years and today, a whole decade on, we still find Waldorf’s words ringing true. From plaid and pussy bows to sequins and lace the Upper East Siders took...Read More
In a world consumed by materialism and social-media fuelled purchases, we are a proud nation of shopaholics. From the high street to charity shops and the luxury high end market, billions of pounds are spent every year in our favourite stores. And yet, I’m sure that many of us still protest – I have...Read More
Following a lovely visit to the North Norfolk town of Holt last weekend, it got me thinking about the beauty of local and independent shops. We are wholeheartedly spoilt here, not only in this region, but all over the UK. From family-owned bakeries and independent cafés to wild and remote garden centres and unique boutiques, there is...Read More

In your early twenties, there is nothing more boring than duvet tog...Read More
I always look forward to bank holidays – not because the Sunday night dread is removed (although that is pretty nice), or because working a four-day week brings the next weekend that little bit closer, or even because you get an extra lie in, but because of the good old British car boot sale. As...Read More
There’s no denying that I love fashion and I love a good bargain. So when my friends suggested a pit stop at Bicester Village on the way home from our spa break, I was there in a heartbeat. Bicester Village is home to over 130 boutiques of famous designer brands, situated in the heart of Oxfordshire. The historic...Read More
Roughly a two hour flight and a short taxi ride from the UK lies the centre of Palma, an underrated weekend break destination that is definitely worth a visit. From culture, history and shopping, to a picturesque waterfront and fantastic food, Palma really does have it all. The current place to stay is the Scandinavian owned Hotel...Read More
Although many may consider it ludicrous, I made the slightly misinformed decision to brave the onslaught of Christmas shoppers on Oxford Street this weekend. Partly to finish my Christmas shopping but also with the hope to revel in the true festivities of Christmas taking place in the heart of London. There’s no doubt that London...Read More
