The yellow peril – colour of the season?
When I am asked my favourite colour I say, with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever, “YELLOW”. It has been my favourite forever, and this season, it seems to be having a bit of a moment, at least according to the bible that is Vogue. When I think of yellow, I think of some of my favourite ever dresses. I wore a gorgeous cotton sundress in canary yellow whilst I was four months pregnant to walk around Barcelona in the sunshine, it seemed the perfect choice. I had a favourite pair of ASOS sky-high Mary Janes in patent mustard that I was wearing when I fell out of hubbys car – breaking…

The 70s are back!
I love the 70s. It’s definitely my favourite style decade. I love everything that was stylish about the decade. I love everything that was bad taste about the decade. I just love the 1970s! As a child of the 1970s I adored the girls from Abba, having a much treasured Agnetha doll wearing that satin cat print tunic.
