Old School Red Leather Satchel? Oh my yes, Yoshi! | Review

I don’t know what it is, but I know I’m not alone in my love of the traditional leather satchel. I mean – how could you not, really? Practical, stylish, versatile… It’s everything you need. And so darn cute, too! And as we head into Autumn and the cooler months, I always seem to put away the cute little fabric bags and backpacks I’ve been using all summer, and reach for something sturdier and...

Spotted! Seriously *love* this Boreal Fisherman slouchy knitted beanie hat

I have decided. I need a new hat. And I want a slouchy knitted beanie hat. It’s always around now that I start rummaging in the hat box for the woolly ones. It’s not quite cold enough for a winter coat yet, but unless I’m running with the dog the cool late afternoon breeze can be a little chilly for just a jumper or a fleece. i find a nice woolly hat does the job perfectly, keeping my ears warm without roasting me....

Spotted! The Most Brilliant Faye Et Fille Giraffe Print Scarf

I was amazed when I saw this fabulous Faye et Fille Giraffe Print Scarf in full. Because when  it’s worn, it looks amazingly abstract and autumnal. A hint of giraffe, a hint of bare winter tree – perfect, in fact. Isn’t it gorgeous? Enough colour to brighten up the dullest of November days, and those African tones giving a hint of the warmth and sunshine hidden away if you could only see them. But look –...

Plain Lazy MEGA £10 sale on!

  We LOVE Plain Lazy. And I admit it – we owed them a review back in June for their properly awesome ‘The World’s Your Lobster’ tee. The husband love sit. But I failed to write about it. And now they don’t have any in stock. Which is sad, because it’s awesome… So awesome he took a rare selfie of himself in it… But it’s not all sadness. No no no. Because Plain Lazy are in the...

A Confession for You, TK MAXX… #GiveUpClothes

At the bottom of the cupboard in my wardrobe is a box. Inside that box is a pile of clothes. Not a big pile – just a neat, folded, carefully placed pile. A range of items – a basic wardrobe collection, in fact. Jeans, tops, a cardigan. All worn, but all looked after, and still with ‘plenty of wear in them’ as my Granny used to say. They are all maternity clothes. My youngest child is eight. There will be no more children. And yet,...

Hotel Chocolat’s Everything Luxe box

I came to understand as I grew into adulthood that chocolate really isn’t my thing. I’m never the one to choose a chocolate option in a restaurant, I can’t ever eat a whole bar in one sitting, and I rarely bake chocolate cake (unless it’s crammed with courgettes and we happen to have a glut of them…). But actually, it’s not that I don’t love chocolate. I really do. But what I love is not just...
