A playsuit, a dress and a gust of wind

Decided I needed to brighten up my wardrobe for summer, introduce a few patterns and florals, find a dress that was nice and short. And find my first-ever playsuit. OK, my second, if you include that strapless hot pink Juicy Couture towelling one I bought in Harvey Nichols last year in a moment of WAGness [...]

Posh Dress in the Post

Well, my Meghan Fabulous sale dress arrived from ASOS.com today. I was a bit apprehensive because I’d never spent so much money on an online clothing item before. I ripped open the outer packaging…and then the inner packaging…
…and…
Yum! The silk was deliciously creamy, the shape looked beautiful, and the colours vibrant and gorgeous, especially the delicate pink [...]

The Boots: An Anecdote

 
This morning I was approached in the actual street near Archway tube by some random look-at-me-I’m-so-urban-innit bloke, who informed me that my boots were amazing, man (‘thanks’ nice of him to notice).

Wedding Twin Syndrome

I’ve got a posh wedding next month and have been in a quandary over what to wear. At no fewer than two weddings a couple of years ago I found myself staring at what I thought was a mirror, before realising it was just another wedding guest with the same fresh-from-the-high-street dress as mine. Not cool.
So the [...]

Week in Chic 3

Wow, is that another week gone by again? Must be time for another Week in Chic, then. Ooh, and FYI, my lovely work colleagues gave me my pink TopShop brogues yesterday. Imagine something that’s pink, then times it by 10, and you have the approximate pinkness of these shoes. I’m thinking they’ll look perfect with [...]

DIY Ripped Jeans

I’m not what you would call a domestic goddess. I overcook Pot Noodles, kill houseplants by looking at them and once nearly bled to death after attempting to sew on a button.
So imagine my delight when I discovered yesterday that I do have an aptitude for handicrafts. In the form of seizing a pair of [...]

Birthday Miu Miu: the Moment Of Truth

Happy Birthday to me!
OK, the moment of birthday bag-truth, as a follow-on from my previous post Miu Miu Madness. I’m sorry to say I DIDN’T receive the bag featured in the post Home and a Handbag as a present from the husband for my birthday.
No.
Instead, I got…AN EVEN NICER MIU MIU BAG! Which is proudly pictured [...]

Stop the (pink) press!

Remember those pink brogues I mentioned a few posts back? Here’s a reminder:

 
 
 
 
 
Well guess what?
No, really – you’ll never guess…
…my lovely, LOVELY work colleagues have only gone and bought me a pair of them for my birthday!
I know – I could hardly believe it either. Just goes to show – you should always want what [...]

It’s Thursday again, which means my Week in Chic fashion pals from across the pond update y’all on the sartorial shiz. Oh, is that not how they speak in the US of A? Sorry. Been watching too much TV.
The Budget Fashionista explains the downside of closing-down sales and updates us on the latest US stores to [...]
