I’m not 100% sure what’s come over me – in some sort of frenzied, out of body (and certainly out of my mind) fashion binge I’ve clocked up: 3 new dresses, a pair of boots, a scarf and a washed silk t-shirt this week alone. This from the woman who…

Stella McCartney launches specs range
Oooh! As a visually challenged fan of the geek-chic specs vibe, I’m liking the look of Stella McCartney’s first optical glasses collection launching in March. Here are a couple of my favourites: And my favourites, this ombre pair: Here are my current pair (a no-name brand that replaced my beautiful…
A tale of two shops called Made
I have, coincidently, made two purchases today from different shops called ‘Made’. The first was a new desk from Made.com. A proper grown-up writing desk that will be for the sole purpose of ‘me’ and ‘words’. I love it’s angular lines and slimline proportions versus the curves of our new…
A few post updates: cycling, snowsuits and beautiful bracelets
So, there have been a few posts lately where I’ve said ‘I’ll get back to you’ and true to my word… Yesterday was Country Bebe and I’s first outing on our bike. My heart was in my mouth for the first mile of our journey as I wobbled along by…
New arm candy – CF adds to her luxe friendship bracelet collection
So, a couple of months ago I wrote about my love of friendship bracelets, namely my purchase of Monica Vinader’s Fiji bracelet in sterling silver and navy silk cord. I haven’t taken it off since it arrived from Astley Clarke (god I love this site in dangerous proportions; their stacking…
The ultimate Christmas party dress: Maison Martin Margiela for H&M
I will be the first in line on the 15th November (well, online in my pjs anyway) for this dress from Maison Martin Margiela’s collaboration with H&M. Such an effortless, fluid shape (body-con and mince pies do not mix), worn with either of these two from Zara, I can’t decide:…
Velvet sneakers: a Friday bargain
I have tried a pair of these on more times than I can remember: It goes something like this: I stand nose pressed against the glass of Emma Hope’s boutique on Westbourne Grove, drawn like a magpie to the jewel coloured, silk velvet plimsolls. I sidle in, trying to act…
My treasured Liberty bag
My Liberty tooled patent leather maxi bag isn’t a new purchase, but a seasonal favourite that signals the switch to my autumn wardrobe. She’s been tucked up in her dust bag all summer but as the first leaves drop, out she comes: Each year I fall in love with her…
I Love Mel colouring books
Now, my husband swears that my 10 month old son picked this out himself as my first ‘mummy’ birthday present, I’m a little dubious because *even* he couldn’t be THAT good. How genius is this?! On a cold, wet afternoon who doesn’t want to get out their Caran D’Ache pencils…
Object of Desire: Liftoff wedge heels, Rocket Dog
Don’t you love it when something drops into your inbox that wasn’t even on your season’s wishlist but you immediately Have. To. Have. It? These puppies from Rocket Dog fall firmly into that category: This autumn it is all about the wedge heel for me. I’m done tottering around on…
The Ultimate Autumn Cardi
I have fallen hard for this AW12 cardi from Wrap. Shawl collar, long length, pockets, but saved from frumpiness by the leather detailing. God I love this cardi. Yes it’s £99 but I will wear it until it falls apart at the seams. I have left the Wrap London AW…
Object of Desire: Narciss dresses
With two very important nuptials on the horizon, I’ve been rather frantically scouting around the internet for some new dresses for the Wedding Season. As this time last year I was heavily pregnant and not in the market for a pretty dress, this year I thought I’d celebrate my regained…
