Three things for October (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am so ready for October: warmer layers, saying no to everything and tucking myself into bed by 9pm. I shopped far less this September, which I am proud of, resisting the urge to fill my wardrobe with new season nonsenical stuff simply because I hate transitional dressing. Prada’s SS 27 show has been entirely dominated by skirts just as I announced to myself that realistically, I don’t enjoy wearing them. I hate deciding what footwear goes with which length, working out the ratio of leg on show

Read excerpt
On Monday night, I lay in bed watching ‘Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy’. It was fine, not much in terms of comedy and I refuse to believe that women over 40 are all desperately gawking at Leo Woodall (or any man) with his top off, but it was watchable. When it had finished, I said to Chris ‘wouldn’t it have been interesting if the film opened and Bridget had grey hair?’. Wouldn’t it be cool if she was so comfortable with herself and her appearance that she might represent what most women in th
