If I Could Buy Anything I Wanted From the Tibi Sale…
I may find myself husband-less so I wont be going bananas on www.tibi.com HOWEVER, one of the joys of having your very own wardrobe blog is that you can get imaginative and dream about all the clothes you’d buy if you had one of those $45,000 a month shopping allowances that heiresses and those unicorn […]
The Sightseeing Sandal
So I’m piecing together my packing list for the upcoming summer holiday. It will involve 3.5 weeks of summer and within those 3.5 weeks there will be 4 key activities to dress for. Today’s post is focused on Sightseeing Footwear. You see I like to walk. We are booked into several tours which will see […]
What Happens When I Edit Your ‘Robe
Well firstly, I think it’s a fun process, it’s not a time to fear or worry about, we’re just going to spend time looking at what you have in your closet, and working out what you do and don’t wear. We go through everything and put anything to the side that you no longer wear […]
Sheer Tights – I never thought I’d see the day.
As someone who had to wear opaque black tights all through school (in winter), I grew to love the basic silhouette a good black opaque tight could deliver. As I got older I wore them into my 20s. With short skirts and shirts, then into my 30s under long shorts and more recently under dresses […]
Vintage gold mine
There’s a vintage store on Oxford Street in Paddington that I visit every week or so and it’s fast becoming my favourite retailer. My intention this year is to be more mindful in my fashion purchasing and only buy vintage or sale pieces and so I get a real high when I’m able to sniff […]
Sheer, floaty skirts. I don’t do pretty, but I do these.
Having had the luxury of some extra time recently, I took great pleasure in watching the various fashion shows as these paraded around the world. Not all of them of course but the ones presented by brands I love. And whilst I don’t watch these shows to identify trends per se, I look at them […]
Miu Miu FW25 was mesmerising
I think my favourite Miu Miu collection of all time was SS24, see this picture below of Troye Savan walking the runway. The perfect mix of sporty and preppy, this runway show was HEAVEN to me. It ticked all of my sartorial boxes. Blues with navy. Tick. Checks and stripe. Tick. Collared shirts and polos. […]
Style crush – Lucinda Chambers
Long term UK Voguettes will know Lucinda, she was the Fashion Director for 25 years, (Chambers worked for Vogue for 36 years in total) and has also worked for brands like Prada and Marni. She has since co-founded a shoppable curated site called Collagerie with fellow ex-Voguer Serena Hood and launched a fashion label Colville […]
How to wear – SCARVES
No, fear not, this isn’t another one of those banal youtube tutorials showing you 8 natty ways to tie your scarf around your neck. But rather a few saucy ideas for head and neck jazzing if you’re looking for a little more pizzazz (bet you haven’t seen that word in a fashion related article for […]
The case for shoulder pads
Methinks our mums had it right in the 80s. I distinctly remember watching my mum get dressed and seeing her shoulders being transformed right in front of my eyes as she slipped on a silk shirt with built-in shoulder pads. And years later came the complete masterstroke of the removable velcro shoulder pads that could […]
