Well that’s cured me of wandering around the shops in Brighton with my mouth watering. Yes, Brighton has some gorgeous clothes shops. But they’re honey traps with deliciously appealing clothes at not unreasonable prices. Not that I’ve bought anything new for some weeks now – thank goodness – because I
Hatwalk 33 – October 2018
It is so warm for the time of year here in the UK. Maybe next week it’s going to be cooler, but I’ve heard that one before. Well let’s see, because although I should be enjoying the heat of the sun on my face, really i) this is not good
Hatwalk 29 – April 2018
Another post on wearing hats around town. I know some of you say that you can’t wear hats but I think everyone can (especially when it’s the winter!) and the way to start with hat wearing is with a beret, which, I think, suits every type of face. So here
Cruising around Spain
Hello everyone I’m back and the flat is festooned in washing, it’ll take me a week to get straight. We had a great time and loved nearly everything about the holiday, but tbh, it’s rare for a holiday to be totally perfect and like a curate’s egg this cruise was
Shopping in a charity shop – here’s how!

How to find clothes in a charity shop? Always look!
Hello everyone And a big thank you to the people who’ve subscribed to my blog since the mention on Tricia Cusden’s blog two Sundays ago. Hi there and welcome! Anyway, from time to time people have commented that they admire me for buying clothes in a charity shop, but can
Film night outfit – March 2016
I’ve done it again. It’s the end of the month and I haven’t posted the outfit I wore at our Hillcrest Film Society’s March screening. We showed Pride, which was hugely popular with our audience who gave it a round of applause at the end. I felt both happy at
What do you think about wearing a hat around town? A proper one!
My cold has gone and my gloomy mood is greatly improved by my recent charity shop finds. I was out in Brighton, just looking you understand! And I ended up with a complete outfit and more. Here’s the outfit. That’s a Fat Face skirt at £4.99, some leather boots for
