With post-Olympic gloom descending, I’ve spent most of today thinking about a) Damon Albarn (thanks to seeing Blur live in Hyde Park last night), b) holidays and c) collar necklaces. I saw a girl on the tube this morning y’see, wearing the cute pearl Peter Pan piece by Topshop with hair piled high, a black …

Ooh you know you’ve been sprinkled with Uncle Walt’s magic when you end up wearing Minnie Mouse ears (say “cheers”). On Friday we made our maiden voyage to Disneyland Paris. OK, so I would have loved to spend my two precious days in that heavenly city up to my neck in boutique shopping and sophisticated …

Well, well, my friends. Was there ever a better time to wear Topshop’s new, Union Jack jumper? I’ll tell you more about when and where I’ve been getting it out (!) tomorrow; in the meantime GO TEAM GB! I chose this knitted tribute to Team GB because it’ll be great for the autumn, long after …

To get my mind off the mayhem, I’m focusing instead on some of the glorious spring buys at Peekaboo Vintage, …

Question: who else is going on holiday at Easter? We booked our break last night and, on account of the Easter hols falling so early this year, I was traumatised by the “Innocent Smoothie style” marketing copy attached to the booking telling me that I only have 34 sleeps to go. 34 sleeps! How can …

Appaza, the world has gone pastel-mad. I’ve been talking about them in various places for the last few weeks, but suddenly I feel a bit swamped by them. In defiance, I’m currently wearing a black horse print jumper over a blinding yellow flower print dress (a look I’m deeply loving – perhaps I’ll post a …
