I love COS for their knitwear and underwear in equal measures. These bras made it into my basket before you could say ‘Dolce & Gabbana esque’. I love the modern, soft and gentle shapes of their designs, that flatter the natural female curve. I loathe nothing more than underwear that…

CF Style: Tights weather
So, I’ve been resisting it for a while but it is well and truly tight weather in Devon. Because I am a general klutz and end up ripping anything less than industrial strength denier, I have given in and embraced the more robust end of the hosiery spectrum and invested…
Object of Desire: Patra silk pyjamas
I have made my mind up. I want to be buried in my Patra silk pyjamas. Actually scrap that, I’m not sure I can wait that long… I LOVE THEM. This is not a new revelation. My mother-in-law bought me a pair last Christmas – here I am resplendent in…
CF Loves: Scarlet & Argent by Hainsworth, blankets and throws
Hainsworth’s British heritage credentials blow me away. Yet until I was contacted by the PR about their relatively new retail brand, Scarlet & Argent, I’d ashamedly never heard of the 225 year old Yorkshire wool mill. One of the UK’s oldest companies, it has been run as a family concern…
30-second review: Links of London friendship bracelet
So, I just opened my first birthday present (yes, I know it’s not till Friday, I am an impatient kinda gal) – a luxe friendship bracelet! My mother-in-law knows me too well. My new addition is from Links of London. The teal and grey thread is intricately interwoven between the…
An (early) birthday present to me: Longchamp 3D clutch in Cognac
So, I am in the twilight weeks of my Twenties, with the big 3-0 looming large on the horizon in early September. So what’s a girl to do to ease herself into a new decade? Well, buy a beautiful Longchamp clutch bag it seems… Yes, even thought it was a…
The onesie for grown-ups – from the Toast 80% off archive sale
Yes, you heard. I’ve bought a onesie. But a beautiful one(sie) from Toast, courtesy of their incredible 80% off archive sale. It was £25, instead of £90! I’m imagining it with some black Jackie O shades, floppy sunhat and my black Pierre Hardy for Gap sandals as a chic beach…
CF Loves: Danish interiors brand, Bloomingville
So I have just fallen in love with the Danish Interiors company, Bloomingville. They are stocked at various independent boutiques across the country but somehow I’ve only just discovered their brand of modern Scandi interiors (read bleached woods, clean lines, organic shapes and mutes palettes with shots of colour). If…
Treasured possessions: my stolen sunglasses collection
The second in a new series of ‘treasured possessions’ posts is this one, on my stolen sunglasses collection. Rather than sending you out to buy things, they are designed to make you take stock of your current wardrobe and repurpose, rediscover and fall back in love with things you already…
CF Shops: ASOS Fluoro Boucle jacket plus three more summer looks
I have been quietly and rather over-indulgently, building up my summer wardrobe and thought, rather than stock-piling with the vague plan to do some style posts when I’m looking halfway presentable, I’d just take some quick snaps and talk you through some of my favourite purchases. First up, my latest…
Treasured possessions: my charm necklace
I thought I’d start a series of posts, introducing you to a couple of my treasured possessions. Rather than posts that encourage rabid consumerism (guilty as charged), I want this series to be a bit less ‘BUY! BUY! BUY!’ and more ‘appreciate what you’ve already got young lady.’ So, here…
My Wardrobe sale bargain: Ash Wedge Trainers
So, I finally succumbed to the siren calls of the Wedge Trainer and splashed out on this gorgeous pair from the originators of the sport luxe trend – ASH. My justification? They were a much less eye-watering £87, compared to their full price of £175, in the My Wardrobe sale…
