7 Low Key Christmas Outfit Ideas
There’s no doubt this festive season will be different for most of us. I usually have a constant stream of fun, social dates in my diary throughout December, from a civilised carol concert with my mum to my (often messy) university reunion. My wardrobe needs to work...

The Only Style Rules You Should Follow
“You look like the girl next door”. A throw away bitchy comment that was delivered with hugs and laughter. I smiled and continued enjoying the party, sinking more and more glasses of wine as I let her mean words sink in. The girl next door. Is that a bad thing? I...
How to update your style
I don’t care much for fashion, but I DO care very much about how a woman feels in the clothes she wears. I also know that it’s all too common for women of any age to suddenly decide that they are dressing too ‘young’ and start playing it (too) safe. ‘Playing it safe’...
