Why age no longer defines fashion.
I have the same New Look dress as Rochelle from The Saturdays. Rochelle is in her early twenties, I am in my mid 30’s. Which begs the question – am I too old for this dress, or is the dress too old for Rochelle? The answer, happily, is no on both counts. The days when shops had a clearly age defined audience have long gone, with mothers and daughters happily shopping in the same places, and sometimes buying the same things. Why is this now the case? Part of the answer to this is that women, in many cases, look younger than we did 30 years old. Thirtysomethings can often…

Although some triggers may be common to most, some of the triggers also vary from person to person.

Stylish Movies: Rebecca (2020)
2020 has been a year where I have watched new versions of old favourites. A couple of weeks ago it was Murder on the Orient Express (2017), which I really enjoyed. Last week I took the plunge and went to see the new, Netflix version of not only one of my fave films, but also one of my fave books. The 1940’s version of Rebecca, directed by Alfred Hitchcock is an absolute triumph, a gothic thriller that at times borders on horror, with sublime performances from Joan Fontaine, Lawrence Olivier, Judith Anderson and George Sanders. I don’t actually know how many times I have watched it, but I absolutely adore…

Charity Shop And Vintage Buys
It’s been a while since I showed you any of my charity shop and vintage buys, so here I am again showing you the kind of things you can buy that not only enhance your wardrobe, but also make a contribution to good causes, and stop good clothing heading off to landfill. October is a good time of year to sort your own wardrobe in lieu of the colder days of Winter that are on their way. When you sort, you often find the gaps in your wardrobe, the things that are missing – maybe because they are now well worn, or no longer fit. This is when a trip…
