Spotted! The Most Brilliant Faye Et Fille Giraffe Print Scarf

I was amazed when I saw this fabulous Faye et Fille Giraffe Print Scarf in full. Because when  it’s worn, it looks amazingly abstract and autumnal. A hint of giraffe, a hint of bare winter tree – perfect, in fact. Isn’t it gorgeous? Enough colour to brighten up the dullest of November days, and those African tones giving a hint of the warmth and sunshine hidden away if you could only see them. But look –...

Probably the best girls skate shoes ever – Naturino Sneakers #NotJustForBoys

Have a picky girl dresser? Yes, me too. Particularly, it seems, when it comes to footwear. And this winter my girl took against trainers – she wanted the best girls skate shoes, pleasethankyou. When we started working with the amazingly lovely people at Naturino they asked if we’d like to review. In fact, they insisted – “no, really, you must. Our shoes are different. We promise.” Now my daughter Bear is...

LOOK! Vampire Dr Marten’s for Halloween – Marceline Boots with a furry tongue!

And now my daughter shares my passion – which is frankly a Good Thing for her feet. Not only are DM’s tough enough to stand up to her tree-climbing-always-running ways, but they’re soft and comfortable...

Plain Lazy MEGA £10 sale on!

  We LOVE Plain Lazy. And I admit it – we owed them a review back in June for their properly awesome ‘The World’s Your Lobster’ tee. The husband love sit. But I failed to write about it. And now they don’t have any in stock. Which is sad, because it’s awesome… So awesome he took a rare selfie of himself in it… But it’s not all sadness. No no no. Because Plain Lazy are in the...

A Confession for You, TK MAXX… #GiveUpClothes

At the bottom of the cupboard in my wardrobe is a box. Inside that box is a pile of clothes. Not a big pile – just a neat, folded, carefully placed pile. A range of items – a basic wardrobe collection, in fact. Jeans, tops, a cardigan. All worn, but all looked after, and still with ‘plenty of wear in them’ as my Granny used to say. They are all maternity clothes. My youngest child is eight. There will be no more children. And yet,...

Gorgeous Autumn Boho Style for Tall Girls

Last week we were talking tall girl jeans – and how Long Tall Sally just gets it right. But the second outfit I tried is possibly my favourite ever-in-the-history-of-ever. Cords. Who doesn’t love a pair of winter cords? And when those cords are as soft as velvet, and in a deliciously beet red-purple colour? WIN. You slide into these Cord Bootcut Trousers from LTS, and feel like your legs are being hugged into groovy autumn...
