closet clearing

16th February 2015
It’s coats like this one that make me curse every trip I’ve ever made to a Charity shop. OK that sounds worse than it is intended, bare with me. Being a blogger, I accumulate clothes like its going out of fashion (I’m not very good at puns,but that one I’m quite proud of) I try to be ruthless, I give lots to Charity and even more to my friends. But it’s moment when your rummaging at the back of your wardrobe, mid clear out, and you stumble across a coat which you haven’t worn for over a year. In fact, You kinda forgot you had it. As you pull it from the hanger ready to toss among the other unwanted garments you stop and give it a second look. “Ooo, it looks rather cosey!”  “Why didn’t I wear it again?” “Maybe I should try it on, you know, Just to be sure!”   I’m not sure how long it actually takes to try on a coat, but in those short seconds this coat swiftly went from “Cast off” to “Can’t live without”. It got me thinking about all those beautiful items that I didn’t give that second chance to. Is it healthy to think about clothes with this much emotional attachment? I feel there may be some underlying issues here haha! So my new favourite coat and I spent some time running around London from meeting to meeting last week and it’s safe to say it’s getting quite serious again. I’m excited to see where this goes. But for now I’ve teamed it with the most perfect travelling handbag from Aspinal, no seriously this bag even charges your iPhone, true story. A beautiful (and budget friendly) watch from The Fifth Watches and some statement boots from Next. Admittedly I’m a […]

A beautiful (and budget friendly) watch from The Fifth Watches and some statement boots from Next. Admittedly I’m a little jealous about how they all go together so well, I mean who do those boots think they are?

Too much coffee today? Perhaps! Does anyone else get this emotionally attached to clothes? When is it too early to give something away? Can’t I just become a clothes hoarder and live happily ever after with all the shoes and bags forever and ever amen?

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
