Styling a lagenlook outfit

It’s cardigan season! Styling a khaki linen dress with a waterfall cardigan

This black waterfall cardigan was a charity shop find, and I love it! Not all waterfall cardigans are made equal – I like the shape of them, but some have too much fabric around the back of the neck, and some don’t have enough fabric at the front (do you balance the waterfall bit on top of your boobs, or let it fall to the side of your boobs?), but this one, originally from Marks and Spencer is perfect!….

Styling a black smock dress

A plain black smock dress

This time last year Chris and I had our first campervan trip of the season to Cornwall, and it turned out to be a lot warmer than we expected! I feel that at the moment we’re in that hit or miss time – completely unpredictable – often looking warm and sunny, but then you find there’s a freezing cold wind, which stops at 2pm and then it becomes quite hot! Anyway, the black dress I’m styling for this blog post is ideal for now – as long as you have a cardigan handy!…

Red goddess dress

Hunting for fairies in a hippy floaty red dress

Chris and I had discovered the location online and seen from photos how green the place was going to be with all the moss clinging to hibernating ancient oak branches. So, as it was also likely to be fairly shaded, the colour red was the obvious choice of clothing to showcase for this photo shoot. This is a gorgeous long-sleeved red floaty dress from the brand Romacci.

Monthly Memoir – March 2019 (Notes on self therapy and journalling)

Hello folks! This post is going to be a little short on photography, particularly compared to my last Monthly Memoir; I’ve just realised I’ve taken hardly any photos to share with you. March has been a fairly quiet month for us really…

Styling a floral smock dress

Styling a ditsy floral smock dress at Naugatuck State Forest

There’s something about the shape of smock dresses that I love. Probably, just how damn comfortable they are! And I was very happy to find this one at H&M as it fits well, but also has a few design details that means it doesn’t look plain and frumpy…

Styling a lagenlook tunic dress

Styling a lagenlook navy blue tunic dress

Spring is not the friend of the fashion blogger. One minute it’s snowing, and the next it’s like the middle of summer, and the minute we post an outfit shoot in one of those conditions, it will have completely changed again! I have my fingers crossed a little that we’ll have another burst of snow so that all the photos we took that weekend in February won’t look out of place!

Somerset Wassail at Pilton Tithe Barn

Monthly Memoir – a Somerset Wassail, visits to Dartmoor; the snow; the sun etc

I’ve decided to bring back the Monthly Memoir! I made this decision about half way through January. About three quarters of the way through January I realised the month was never going to end, but now, at the beginning of March, I realise that somehow two months of 2019 have already finished and I’m still getting over Christmas!….

An Instagram Confidence Crisis

February 27, 2019

I’m having a crisis of confidence in my Instagram account. Whilst I appreciate all of you who follow me over there, and the numbers aren’t completely terrible; they haven’t increased at all in months. MONTHS!….

Winter outfit for over 40 fashion blog

Styling a khaki jumper and mini rara skirt for winter

February 26, 2019

Forever 21 seems to be very hit or miss as to its quality of clothing. Considering it’s remarkably cheap prices, you wouldn’t expect much, but on this trip to America, I found it to be quite impressive.

Black Joe Browns Mix it up tunic

Styling the Joe Browns Mix It Up tunic

February 18, 2019

This particular style of tunic has been a welcome return in the Joe Brown’s catalogue for years and years. They change the colours and they change the fabrics slightly, but the style is the same, and I love it! I also own this tunic in dark red, but for this blog post, I thought I’d show you how I wore my black and grey one….

Starting to bullet journal

February 13, 2019

Bullet journalling has been around for a while, but to be honest, I didn’t particularly feel I had a need for it. Until now…

Joe Browns blue coat

Styling my new cute Joe Browns winter coat

February 8, 2019

You need a different coat for different occasions and different types of outfit don’t you? You do, don’t you?! So I refuse to feel guilty about the fact that I have purchased THREE new coats this winter!!
