For years I was very lacking in Summer Skirts. I was deeply dedicated to buying as many dresses as I could. I still think dresses are an easy one-stop option that makes people think you made an effort, but skirts have found a new place in my heart. Part of this was I discovered the…

Do you remember bodies? Not like, actual bodies, we all have those. I’m talking a bodysuit. Those things like swimsuits with poppers at the crotch that we all wore in the 90s. I have some disturbing memories of bodysuits. I remember not being able to get the poppers done up in the bathroom, and I…

I suddenly realised I’ve been in my house 5 years. 5 years, and I still feel like we just moved in. We put in a gorgeous new fireplace and did some big ish work like moving the back door to give us a bigger kitchen space. Then we just kind of stopped. The kitchen is…

Well, how about that weather, huh? I hate to be so terribly British (no I don’t, not really) but I can’t start writing this blog post without mentioning that it was TWENTY TWO FRICKING DEGREES yesterday. If I didn’t mention it then this outfit might seem a little out of place in early April. A…

Ah, changeable Spring weather. One day it’s all Summer frocks and sandals, the next it’s scarves and jumpers. The unpredictability of the weather at this time of year is particularly evident since the invention of Time Hop. Each morning I scroll back through posts featuring blue skies and sunshine, sitting next to posts of me…
