Another month, another Vogue falls from my letterbox to the floor with a thump. Like Invisible Woman, I read Vogue so you don’t have to, but I do pity the poor postie as this month’s Vogue is as thick as
It’s been too darn hot!
We’ve been having unseasonably hot weather in the UK over the last couple of weeks and it’s been just too darn hot. Temperatures have reached just under 30C (86F) and that’s way too high for a Celt like me. However,

How to find fabulous frocks? Try a charity shop!
This is a short blog post (but sweet, I hope) as I’m busy packing for the cruise. I won’t go into the details of the actual pack, which, while it’s not exactly a military operation, is certainly one that takes
Never say never – I’ve bought a mid-length skirt for the cruise!
Some time ago I said I really hope mid-length skirts don’t come back into fashion as I see them as frumpy. And can I say to anyone who loves that type of skirt that I’m only applying that to myself.
Fast and cheap fashion. Should we buy in to this… or be more ethical?
