Crisp Summer Whites
Since having Joshua and thanks to my partners obsession with them, I have inadvertently started wearing a lot of white t-shirts & shirts. Not that I thought it would hide the baby puke, but for some reason wearing white uplifted me and made me feel ‘cleansed‘?! Anyhoo, as we are officially in ‘Summer’ (Yeah, I … Read more
The Bare Essentials for Spring
It’s been a crazy few months for me. Wishing for more hours in the week, yet gagging for the arrival of the weekend. I’ve missed most of AW13 fashion week and general goings on. The weather hasn’t been to clever either, and for us in the UK, Spring has yet to arrive. So until I get my … Read more
Timeless Beauty
Time is a friend and an enemy. We are free to use and abuse as we want. But when you hit a certain age everything becomes more pronounced, more sensitive, more precious. Our fashion is to look and feel good as best as we can, when we can. We go into another year with fresh … Read more
T’was the ‘Sucker-for-Punishment’ shop before Christmas
Why I do this to myself every year is beyond me?! I am a ‘Sucker-for-punishment!’ Again I have left my Christmas shopping to the last-minute. If I do by internet, I am not 100% sure it will arrive on time even if they say they guarantee it, and do I want to run the gauntlet, … Read more
B’s Street-Style Eye
1st December already! It took me the time to finish my lunch, have a cup of tea to do a mental stock check of just about all of the most memorable events that I could remember, and My! This year flown. A visual treat of scrolling through my photos enhanced these episodes even more. So I … Read more
BOTTOMS UP
I got into my slim jeans. Yes! Zipped up. Yes! Got to work & made a cup of tea. No Problem. Sat down for 5 minutes and realized that today was not going to be a good day. Why? It finally dawned on me that being 5 months pregnant the jeans I was wearing put … Read more
My Black History Month Style Salute
We have a lot to celebrate about. From 1st Jan 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, the voting rights of 1965, having a first Black President in 2008, Oprah being greatest black American in History (and at one point 1st black billionaire) and personally for me, the days my 3 nieces were born . Add this to the … Read more
Fashion Weeks Spring/Summer 2013 | My Favourites styles. Buyers & Catwalk
Phew! Well the highly anticipated Spring/Summer 2013 Fashion Weeks are over. From New York to Paris, catwalk shows, models, buyers, press and showrooms worldwide were (and still are) buzzing. Did I manage to get to see any shows? Sadly not this time around, as showroom buying appointments were seriously back to back, with early starts … Read more
What’s all the ‘Hoo-Ha’ about? Azealia Banks Fashion Cover & others
Azealia Bank’s cover for Dazed & Confused‘s September issue magazine seems to have been banned in some seven countries as the female ‘en-vogue -of -now rapper ‘ is shown holding an inflated pink condom to her lips as if she were smoking a cigar. But really, why all the ‘hoo-ha’? Just look at what is shown, sang (“Van … Read more
You want something SUPER? Well here it is!
I’m not one for advocating any one particular brand, style or look etc. but for RETROSUPERFUTURE or SUPER sunglasses, I have to make an exception. This brand doesn’t shout from the roof tops ‘I’m here! Look at me! Buy me! It is a search-seek-buy -wear -to- death-with-enjoyment product. I’ve seen it on the ‘Who’s Who’ of … Read more
