The idea for this project came from my niece, when I asked if she’d like a dress for her doll, she replied she’d like one for herself, thank you very much….nobody’s fool this girl! So I came up with this idea, which uses very simple pattern pieces and some nifty techniques to jazz it up. [...]
When I was pregnant with Aron, back in 2010, I wasn’t sure where to look for maternity clothes. I pictured dowdy jumpers and oversized shirts, paired with leggings or tracksuit bottoms that catered for the growing bump. What I wasn’t prepared for was that I had to make that decision quicker than anticipated. My bloated [...]
I admit that I’m not the best looking girl in the world – I have chunky black specs, uncontrollable spiky hair and could probably do with losing a bit of weight. I don’t look like a supermodel, more like a librarian. Wardrobe chock full of Prada dresses? More like Primark scattered across the floor. I’m [...]
Last Wednesday night in H&M, whilst browsing the boys section, I got a dirty look from a Mum pushing her son in his buggy. Yep, you read that right. Boys section. I wasn’t buying a gift for a boy, I was buying for my daughter. I can’t be one hundred percent sure why she gave me such a dirty [...]
I haven’t been as bargainy in the past few months. Partly because I have decided I am some sort of shopaholic and I am trying to go cold turkey, but also because of the terrible buyers remorse I feel minutes after the thrill of buying something. Having said that, never one to avoid bobbing into [...]
Ahh bling, the frivolous accessories that transform a plain outfit into a vision of loveliness…or more likely remain in a tangled mess in an old shoebox. Jewellery needs good storage and practical ways of taking it with you when you’re packing for holidays. So here’s an oldie but goodie, the jewellery pouch.
People may think how they are related to each other? Because writing about Fashion and fighting against Autism is near and dear to my heart. I think some trends in Fashion recycle, they come back. I want to spend a year without shopping and map my existing wardrobe with newer trends of 2012-2013. And it [...]

I have been over the moon this week as I have heard from my generous sponsor Savoo that they are paying for my ticket and transport to go to Cyber! I casually went over to the website only to find out there was only one ticket left…it is now mine! I was asked a while ago to [...]
The other week I amazed myself. I walked through the ladieswear section of a leading department store, bursting with concessions and sale rails and I didn’t buy a thing. In fact, I didn’t even stop to look at anything. Five years ago I would have been drawn in, firstly to the shoe sale and then [...]
I know you have all been waiting with bated breath for an update on the coloured jeans situation. I am pleased to report that a pair have been found, bought and worn as you can see from the picture. The original Warehouse mint coloured ultra skinny ones had to go back I’m afraid; I thought [...]
I have an awful lot of clothing, for a bloke. I’m talking 53 shirts, 22 pairs of trousers, 9 blazers, half a dozen suits, 12 overcoats or jackets. That’s just the stuff hanging up. I also have drawers full of folded things. I also have a lot of shoes, at least 2 dozen pairs of [...]
No worries here, we do it every day and we could do it single handed if we must, as long as we don’t mind what we look like when we are dressed, all is well. In order to avoid repeating myself later on I must stress that you should always feel for the label to [...]
I heart Lily and Lionel for their b.e.a.uuuuuutiful scarves. I wear scarves all the time and have a huge array of sizes and colours, but my current fav is without doubt a huge wrap with gorgeous mix of pinks and purples in a blossom print from the amazing luxury British accessories brand Lily and Lionel, founded by London [...]
My attitude to fashion has always comprised of three key rules: Does it make me smile? Is it comfortable? Is it “me”? Which has meant that many a fashionistas main wardrobe items such as high heels, hot pants, crop tops and pleather have never made it on to my body. But there is a problem [...]
I have a problem with my pants. Ok, well not my pants specifically, but with pants in general. And bras. And suspender belts. And any other type of lingerie that you might care to mention. It’s just that…they all got so small for a while. When I was a lithe young teen, small pants were all the [...]
My latest toddler fashion finds
With my obsession with Pininterest I thought I would put together some of the latest Toddler Fashion items I have come across lately.
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Love Fashion Blogs Showcase. It is no surprise to me that ‘The Artist’ has been so successful during the film industry awards season. Already scooping up Golden Globes and BAFTAs by the handful, it is very likely to be Oscar winning too. Not only is it a great [...]
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s Love Fashion Showcase! This weekend brought the one thing guaranteed to make me lose all interest in fashion. Snow. Lots and lots of the white stuff fell, and so the only thing I really cared about was whether I was warm. Cue the addition of layer upon layer [...]
