Currently Loving: Vintage Luggage
Vintage luggage is my current obsession. I love the idea of using a piece of luggage whilst you are traveling and making new adventures, and knowing that, once upon a time, someone else may have done exactly the same.

As we age though, it can be difficult – our bodies change and we may no longer be comfortable wearing certain things, so how do you know what to wear?

How to Boldly Add Colour to Your Wardrobe
Let’s face it, black is always the new black. It’s not only the most flattering colour out there but it’s also the easiest colour to mix with other colours, so it’s an all round winner. Because black is so popular it’s really common to sometimes find our outfits lacking a little colour, so today we are going to look at how to add highlights of colour to dark or neutral outfits. Think Layers If your outfit is mainly dark, think about adding a layer of colour to bring your look to life. Think about the types of bright vests, tanks, bold patterned camisoles that you can layer into your outfits…
