    Three things for October (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    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

    Renovation diaries: built in storage (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    It’s almost a year since we moved into this house, almost two years of moving to a new area and I feel like a different person. I don’t say that lightly, I had become a bit of a nervous wreck without even realising it. Admittedly this new disposition is a combination of our children growing more independent, school demanding more of a consistent structu… Read more

    My week in outfits (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Maybe it’s because school is back in session or perhaps it’s the follicular phase of my cycle, which my Oura ring informs me I’m at my most energetic (I’ve previously had no idea what any of my cycle has actually meant) but I have had such a burst of energy this week! It may also be that I have fallen out of a social media habit this summer, but I have … Read more

    Going grey in my 40s (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    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
