Lindex Autumn Fashion Faves
Autumn is a lovely time for updating your wardrobe, by adding a few, well chosen pieces that can mix and match with what you already own. Lindex is a brilliant destination for stylish, affordable clothing, and this season it is most definitely all about the skirt. I like clothing that can earn its keep by being versatile. This can be pieces that can be dressed up or dressed down, working for both day and night. I love tops that can be just as good with jeans as they look with a pretty skirt.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people cite Autumn as their favourite season. I’m a Summer person, loving the sunshine, heat and days wearing flip flops, but even I can see that Autumn can be absolutely beautiful, and that it does have its attractions. Crunchy Autumn leaves, the golden colours of the earlier sunsets, the fact that it is now officially jacket season – all these generally make people happy. Add in the chance of an Indian Summer, the fun of Halloween and fireworks on Bonfire night, and you get a whole lot of reasons for loving Autumn. I may yet be converted! If you are looking for…

The Talented Mr Ripley -Astounding

Now Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley has been adapted by Mark Leipacher into an unmissable theatre experience, one with an astounding titular performance from Ed McVey.
