Today I’m taking one plain and neutral (dare I say, boring?!) outfit that could be considered to be a bit on the frumpy side. A simple outfit consisting of everyday items that most of us already own. I’m going to wear the same outfit two different ways.One outfit okay, but nothing to write home about.One […]

Going grey… what’s the fuss all about? Why is it such a big deal? How come getting your hair coloured a ‘trendy’ grey is super-cool but rocking a ‘natural’ grey is somehow distasteful?

This week has been a whirlwind of different emotions and experiences and I’m sure your normal week involves something very similar… For me, it was the serious worry about a family member’s health.An annoying eBay issue I had to deal with.The feeling of gratitude that I’ve reached my 44th Birthday (that was on Friday).A tedious (and unnecessary)

On some days taking blog photos is more of a challenge than others.Today was one of those days!

Today I’m wearing my black and white striped dress with plenty of layers… and a splash of colour! {See this striped dress worn with flat shoes…..HERE and stripes with lots of shoes HERE} When the days are short, and the
