SUNDAY WHISPERINGS: I SHRANK THE TOP SWEATER OF 2017!

I had quite the surprise this morning when I opened the dryer to find my favorite jumper had shrunk down to a third of its original size. Mr. AMR, in his usual fashion, had tossed all the wet clothes into the dryer without checking them first. Now, I don’t want to criticize Mr. AMR’s housekeeping…

TOPSHOP MATERNITY: STYLISH ENSEMBLES FOR EVERY MOMENT

This week, I've been busy with some styling tasks. Topshop challenged me to create a maternity mini-shoot for an advertorial, picking out different outfits for various occasions. It was a fun challenge, given the recent lull in fashion. With a body undergoing constant changes, clothes shopping hasn't been easy. My go-to casual style lately has…

Exploring the Coziest Winter Sweaters

I've started my sweater shopping in full swing, trying to keep my heating costs low since my house seems to drain any warmth that comes in. Right now, I'm bundled up in a vest, a t-shirt, a long-sleeved tee, and a wool turtleneck jumper, and I've only just taken off my coat. I can't wait…

Crafting My London Ensemble with Karen Millen

I've been part of a delightful project with Karen Millen called "love your city," where I styled an outfit from their new collection and shot photos around London. I also participated in a Q&A about my favorite Christmas spots in the city, which you can check out on their website. Reflecting on the Q&A made me…

Endlessly Coco: A Celebration of Style

This week, I've been in Paris, and if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you probably know about my visit. I traveled beneath the channel to see the No5 Culture Chanel exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo, and it was fantastic.

JAZZ INSPIRED: THE CARDIGAN WITH STRIPED CUFFS

After my latest video, I received as many questions about the cardigan I was wearing as I did about the skincare products I featured. People seemed really interested in the striped cuffs! The cardigan is from Boden; it's a wool and cotton blend, machine-washable, and priced at £65. I specifically chose it for the stripy…

Experiencing London Fashion Week: A Personal Journey

I'm feeling really unwell right now. What started as a cough and cold turned into what seems like the flu, and now it's some awful stomach bug. Add in a few other issues I'd rather not discuss, and you have one very worn-out Ruth. This week, it feels like my body has given up on…

Ruth Explores: The Bias-Cut Skirt Trend

There are a few fashion trends I just can't get on board with. Anything cropped or too tight, especially when made of cheap materials, is a no-go for me. I also shy away from long, tube-like skirts that cling tightly around the middle, culottes that make me feel much older, stilettos that seem determined to…

SUMMER STYLE REFRESH: THE SHIRT DRESS AND LIPSTICK COMBO

I've received tons of kind comments about the dress I wore in my May Favourites video, and I have to say, those words really lifted my spirits. It's a challenge to find nice outfits when you're breastfeeding, especially with postpartum body changes making fashion choices tricky after having a baby. So, thank you all. The dress…
