I’ve been really good lately, avoiding splurges on fashion. My focus has been on home decor, like curtains, wallpaper, and choosing the right mixer tap. So, it was almost a shame when I stumbled upon the LK Bennett Autumn sale—way too tempting to resist! My eyes instantly caught the Flora shoes. I’m quite drawn to…
In September, I found myself frequently visiting my local M&S store to gather essentials for a seaside cottage I'm planning to rent out around the year 2032. My shopping list seemed never-ending with items like cutlery, linens, pots, pans, butter dishes, and tea towels. Each trip, I'd return home only to realize I'd overlooked things…
If you caught my latest vlog, you'll know I've been on the lookout for a chunky cardigan that can double as a coat. There's a specific name for this type of garment that I find a bit silly: coatigan. It conjures up odd images for me, including recalling a childhood song about a man named…
The latest photoshoot for Phoenix magazine turned into quite an unexpected adventure. Originally intended as a humorous take on country living through fashion trends, it ended up being a quirky tale about my home life and the animals involved. Yes, I even found myself holding a chicken, which I truly can't stand with their bony…
I'm getting ready for a nice break by scheduling my posts for the next three weeks, so I can shut down my computer until mid-January. During this time, I'll peek at my iPad to make sure everyone's surviving the holiday chaos, but I won't be making any videos or writing lengthy posts. Instead, I'll be…
Lately, I've been visiting Marks & Spencer more often since there's a huge store not too far from where I'm temporarily staying in a barn. It's about a fifteen-minute drive, which is great because everything else around here, including phone reception, is quite far. With my phone out of action, little things like this are…
I wanted to share a few fun beauty items I used for a festival where I tried to dress up as Dolly Parton. I know I fell short of that goal and ended up looking more like a risqué cowgirl, but that’s what happens when you give yourself only twenty minutes to put a costume…
This silk shirt dress from Michael Kors is definitely going to be a staple in my wardrobe this summer. It's smart and well-structured, yet light and breezy—ideal for those days when you have to look good, but the heat is unbearable. Most of my hot weather dresses are cotton and quite basic, so having a…
Here's a bit of extra footage from my day at the TV BAFTAs. You'll see Mark Hill doing my hair, me walking the red carpet, and plenty of little clips and moments. If you're curious about my dress and missed my post on Wednesday, you can check it out in a new window. Ready for…
I've spent quite a bit of time this week hunting for the perfect winter sweaters online, buying them, trying them on, and returning most of them. This year, I'm looking for a sweater with a high neck (like a cowl neck or turtleneck) to draw attention away from my midsection. I also want it to…
