Not sure if there’s a bling ‘thing’ going on as we start the New Year but on viewing what I’ve come across recently I’m beginning to ‘suspect’ so…with all the ‘evidence’ I have gathered…especially over the last couple of days alone. So ring a ding! I’m now thinking of the ‘Bling Ring’ gang who broke Read More
Looking at an app on my phone to check out what’s trending…I’ve decided to ‘sidestep’ or ‘swipe past’ the whole ‘Christmas story’, I’m just going to ignore it as much as I can, not easy and almost impossible…but in a report regarding new trends for 2020 apparently red shoes are going to be ‘big’. This Read More
Well another day and another casualty to the High Street ‘juggernaut’ that is taking out shops at a relentless pace. I only discovered that my local Select store was shut when I went past there earlier this week and had planned to pop in for a quick browse, only I couldn’t…as it was gone and Read More
With the depressing wet weather (like is it ever going to stop raining…) and the on going crazy political crisis I thought I would distract myself with ‘flower fashion’, where a flower motif unsurprisingly is the main feature. Starting with a vibrant red rose to burn through the misery, red always makes a bold statement Read More
Going against the miserable weather at the minute I found an idea to muse on…I don’t know if pink is ‘on trend’ as we speak…but it seems I can’t escape it…it’s ‘everywhere’ I go or look…there it is ‘taunting’ me not to think pink which is impossible if it’s on your mind! And sod’s law Read More
With the school holidays about to end and the weather rather unpredictable (though to note a very hot bank holiday for a change…) is it time to start making some wardrobe adjustments? Maybe not quite yet. Despite the very fresh breeze today and evenings starting to draw in…I don’t think it’s altogether the right time Read More
A novel and a good cup of tea what can beat it? Maybe a ‘novelty’ bag? A couple of which I came across recently, I can really understand the pop art aspect of the Swizzels Drumstick bag but the ‘Christmas’ bauble one? (have to say on looking at it again it does also have a Read More
Well it’s only taken me just over two years to get around to doing part two of my blog post using that eponymous line “Show me the lace” from The Eyes of Laura Mars…since 2017 there has been huge changes on the High Street namely there are a lot less shops = a highly reduced Read More
So I nearly posted this on Friday but didn’t get the time…with “Thank Scrunchie it’s Friday”, in ode to the old Crunchie advert “Thank Crunchie it’s Friday”, though that honeycomb middle did stick to your teeth and felt like it instantly rotted them, so even though I love Crunchies I avoided them often no matter Read More
With the recent humid weather a fan is a very fashionable and ‘demure’ way of cooling off, I only own a few including the purple one featured here. Prompted by seeing a recent magazine article about the re-emergence of fans in fashion I thought I would ‘investigate’. The fan I own was the most usual Read More
So now it’s time to start getting up early of a Sunday morning literally ‘wake up and smell the coffee’ and inhale deeply…(which I definitely need to do to get going as not naturally a morning person…) so rather a sacrifice of a lazy Sunday morning in bed, but well if you’re looking for bargains Read More
Down with love! Is there a film called that? (think there is…though never watched it maybe I should…?). Well it’s June that traditional month of weddings and whatnot, so no I’m not going to be a June bride this year…Or next year by the look of it…but who knows…? A miracle may happen! (think it Read More
I was surprised (and pleasantly) to see that tie-dye and batik are ‘big’ this season appearing all over summer clothes and accessories. Although synonymous with the flower power era and the 1970’s, I think looking at what the design houses have come up with it looks like an interesting and invigorating take on these most Read More
So it’s not only High Street shops that are dwindling fast, but markets too. Some are still there but most are not in their original form, diminished, reduced and ‘sanitized’ in a way, at least that is what I am seeing. I know of at least five markets that have been closed and reopened only Read More
So if I buy a bag that says ‘Fashion’ does that mean I’m in ‘Fashion’ or not? I suspect not…more likely if it was to say ‘it’s not Fashion’ I might have more of a chance..? My favourite of these fashion bags is the one with the tantalizing encrusted lips and nails, I think that Read More
With Easter just passing and Easter Bonnet’s not really ‘the thing’ any more…also with the Wedding and Ascot season not too far off, I thought it was time to take a look at hats..or rather they were just like there…like ‘in my face’ wherever I went…Of course the ones I’ve captured here are all ‘cast Read More
