Here’s another quick and easy post featuring the outfit I wore at the June film screening. This month’s outfit consists of a John Rocha silk skirt (bought in my local charity shop for £3.99) plus a thin linen jacket that I got last year for £10 (in a sale) at
This cruise was, for us, quite a different experience from our other cruises, mainly because it was an American cruise line. I mean, first and foremost, we felt as though we were the only Brits on the ship, which, btw, we loved! But it was a big, big ship (we
