Exciting October!
Have you done your seasonal switchover yet? It’s always lots of fun rediscovering old pieces that you have forgotten isn’t it? Now is a great time to take stock of what you already own, and make a list of items that you need to update your wardrobe. Keep a list on your phone, so that when you’re shopping […]
Sparkling Grape
Pantone call it Sparkling Grape, I call it purple. No matter, it’s the same shade, and we’re in for a bit of a treat next season, because they are predicting a purple comeback. This shade definitely fell out of favour for a long time, but it has been bubbling just under the surface for the last two […]
Mood Boosting Barbicore
Love it or hate it, the new Barbie film has got everyone talking….about pink. Barbie Pink sits very comfortably next to Magenta in the colour spectrum, so it is a cool colour, but you’ve probably worked that out already.

Back in the day, wealthy ladies didn’t dress themselves, they had maids to do this for them (the struggle was real!). As most people were, and still are right-handed, it made it easier for someone […]
Easter style
For many of us, Easter is a joyous time catching up with family and friends. Not quite as formal as Christmas, but still a time for dressing up. Pastels are often associated with Easter; shades that some of us will find easier to wear than others. Read on to find out how to get the very best […]
Denim is everywhere
Not only is denim everywhere this season, we’ll also be wearing it everywhere, from head to toe! This will appeal to many Natural style personalities due its easy wear / easy care attributes. Dramatics will love the denim jumpsuit (for curvier body shapes, look for softer, draping denim) and City Chics will be attracted to a […]
