Is it just me, or does being stylish get a LOT harder in the winter months?
As well as the practical issue of how to keep warm without looking bulky and shapeless, I just feel less inclined to try at this time of year. I'm usually extra tired, run down and just wanting to hibernate.
The show must go on though, and sometimes I manage to hit on a combination that is both snug, practical and a little on point. Then I wear it to death until next Spring!
Sometimes we only recognise an icon in hindsight.
And if you happened to be an 11 year old girl in 1996 - like I was - then there were no greater icons than the Spice Girls.
They crashed into our lives on platform trainers screaming about girl power and pinching the bums of royalty. It was powerful stuff for impressionable pre-teens and I fell for them, hard.
From my precious copies of their albums to the Impulse spice world body spray I doused myself in, I loved them. And my very favourite of them all was always Posh Spice - Victoria Beckham.
It’s that time of year where there’s a chill in the air, darker evenings and we get to dig out coats and boots once again.
Autumn is definitely a favourite for me - something about it feels exciting - and it brings the opportunity to swap out some high summer favourites for finds that are more suitable for the new season. There’s a few things I’m really enjoying at the moment that I thought I’d share in this post.
Fashion should be all about feeling good. But for those of us with small children and a full time job, sometimes it’s also about being practical. Something that I can quickly throw on and go for the school run is a must, and that’s where a little pattern and colour can do a lot of the heavy lifting.
But thanks to the vagaries of the ever-changing ‘traffic light’ travel system in the UK and the threat of quarantine, we finally decided to stop holding out and book a staycation instead.
This has been a looong time coming!
GHD, the undisputed OG of the hair straightener universe has just released Unplugged, it's cordless styler.
Probably prompted by the Dyson Corrale snapping at its heels, it was time to innovate and do the thing a lot of us have been waiting for by finally getting rid of that pesky trailing power cord.
GHD Unplugged offers all the sleek design, power and performance of the brand's corded models, with the freedom of being untethered.
