Free yourself of clutter and spring clean your wardrobe.
Free yourself of clutter and spring clean your wardrobe. The one thing I have learnt during this lock down is that I have too many clothes in my wardrobe that I do not wear. I am a great hoarder and find it difficult to let go of things, and yet I also love to buy new things.

How to keep stylish and warm in this cold weather.
How to keep stylish and warm in this cold weather. It is very cold out there this week with the snow, particularly with that very cold wind. Having a dog, we must venture out whatever the weather, wind, rain, or snow. This is a good thing as we do need to get some exercise and I love being out in nature. However, I still like to look and feel nice even when it is cold. Here are my tips on how to keep stylish and warm in the cold weather. How to keep stylish and warm in this cold weather. If you are outside in the cold, I like to add a scarf like these here. These are handmade and ethically sourced and made 100% viscose which is ideal for anyone who is allergic to wool. They are nice and warm and long enough to wear wrapped right around your neck as you can see in this picture. I have them for sale on my website my Facebook or Instagram Shops for £26.95 each and they make a perfect gift to yourself. I think that a scarf on your winter coat really can brighten it up.

The beauty of these is they have many colours and can be worn with lots of different coats and jumpers. As I have said in my recent blogs…
How to experiment with different colour combinations
How to experiment with different colour combinations I think that we get stuck in a rut with how we dress as we tend to wear what we usually wear. We get set in the colour combinations that we choose because if we know that they work, we tend not to look for others. As times are hard now and we may not have as much disposal income to invest in new items. It is important to find new combinations with the clothes that we do have. Here are my tips on how to experiment with different colour combinations. How to experiment with different colour combinations It is always nice to put different colour combinations together rather than say black and white. (Well I do not consider black or white to be a colour really, they are just at opposite ends of the colour spectrum) With so many beautiful colours out there I think it is a shame not to embrace colour. Apart from the way you feel in a certain colour it is nice to try different colour combinations that you may not have tried before. Take a navy or black skirt, do not reach for the white blouse, think about which colours you know that suit you and choose one of those. Navy and black are both good staple colours to have in your wardrobe as so many colours would team up well which is why they are a good wardrobe staple. If you are unsure look at nature…

Real life winning moments through the power of colour
Real life winning moments through the power of colour I have a real passion for colour because of the way it can make you look and feel. Most people choose to wear the colours that they love without any consideration for how they make them feel, and in some cases are wearing colours that are totally wrong for them.
