Actually, this is not a good post to put up now, as apparently it’s going to get warmer in the UK this coming week! And I’ve only gone and put away my summer clothes, including all my linen dresses – it can’t be that hot, surely! Anyway, here are two
It’s summertime – what to wear?

Hello everyone As I expect you all know, there’s a heatwave in the UK and, apparently, around the world. Not entirely sure I’m happy with the continuous sun, although I remember that in the winter I said to myself that I absolutely must not complain about the weather in the
Out and about in London – plus here’s that Privacy Policy!

Hi everyone This is my first of three planned trips to London. We had such a great day on Wednesday. We went to the Victoria & Albert museum to see the exhibition, ‘Ocean Liners: Speed and Style‘ and what an unexpected delight it was too. It’s on only until 17th June
Hatwalk 30 – May 2018

Hatwalk 28 – March 2018

Jeans and slacks and pants for Spring

Hi I’m a skirts and dresses kind of person. Skirts more than anything – I just love them and the dressier the better. I don’t think I look as good in jeans and slacks, but I’ve been wanting to buy a couple of pairs of jeans for some time now,
