Today I am starting my 2010 challenge, which is not to buy any clothes for 12 months.  I have been thinking about it throughout December and have come up with a couple of caveats to be realistic.  So, there are a couple of things that I can buy including a bikini in the summer and [...]

In an unusually restrained Christmas feast of present-giving, where our actual feast actually defeated my several brothers and our 10 guests, I managed to tick off a record-breaking NO presents from wishlist.  A staggering feat of perversity, for I definitely sent out my list – with easy-click links – several weeks ago, and I know [...]

Do I have enough shoes, jeans… black trousers!!?!  Oh no oh no… I can feel some last minute panic shopping coming on.  Which is sort of not the point, but… I think I have to go!

Drama on the list of the best dressed as Kate Moss is relegated to number 10 by fashion’s bible, Vogue. Alexa is deserving of the top of the list – not least because of her shameless idolatry of fashion – see her appearances in ‘How to look good naked’ – always on the side [...]

Oh my god – love, love, LOVE this trailer!

My revolutionary approach to motivation for ‘My Challenge’ is going to take both reward and punishment elements.

I have a massive wardrobe.  In a very small flat.  In addition to chests of drawers, shelves and boxes FULL of clothes, shoes, sportswear and underwear.  In [...]

Loving my new ToyWatch with giant oversized mother of pearl face.
Also, looking forward to the new By Malene Birger collection.
My look for the End of Winter (and I’ve decided it’s all downhill from here), is flat, knee-length riding style boots, leather skirt and neck-tie blouses.
And, as soon as payday hits I’ll be stocking up on [...]

I seem to have failed in my mission to acquire tickets for the Latitude festival so Bill Bailey may well have to go on without me, travesty though that seems.  On the other hand, I have picked up tickets to the Goodwood Festival of Speed…
My friend (a boy) thinks this is amazing and wants to [...]

I haven’t been to a summer festival for a long time. A string of bad camping experiences somewhat dulled my enthusiasm. However, I have just learned of the Latitude festival: “we are looking forward to another year of music and art, inspiration and creativity, fun and frolics in beautiful surroundings on the Suffolk [...]
