Incredibles t-shirt and very groovy trousers

May 8, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

A little post devoted to my stylish young son this morning (while I weep over the departure of Sir Alex – yes, it’s true, I’m Man U)… El was looking rather handsome at the weekend I thought in a fab Incredibles-branded tee we picked up from Uniqlo. It’s actually a man’s tee, in size XXS, …

Matching clothes for boys and mums?

April 22, 2013Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

If I’d had a daughter, I don’t think I’d’ve ever been open to the idea of wearing matching clothes. It’s far too twee for starts, and I’m also opposed to dressing up little girls as mini women: not cool. But I think the odd, subtle bit of coordination is acceptable – and you don’t necessarily …

As we’re all starting to panic focus on Christmas, thought I’d share a top tip for fashionable young ladies… Back in the summer I was sent a Clippy Barbie lunch bag to carry snacks around in at London Fashion Week.

See, I wasn’t joking about that Warehouse jumper. And it was delivered in double quick time. My students were treated to it this morning for our second fashion journalism session and I decided to wear it with tie dye leggings and beige studded boots – very casual by my standards, but I’m trying to be …

Big swims, big sun and a foam party

May 28, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton No Comments

Back in April, I told you about a charity swim three of my bezzie buddies were doing to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Our gorgeous young friend Lily, who is the recipient of most of my unworn clothes, was diagnosed with Type 1 when she was just 10 years old and along …

Turkey: A land of even more colour now we’re here

April 5, 2012Written by: Johanna Payton 4 Comments

Turkey is a land of colour. From the vibrant cuisine to the sparkling blue sea, from the lush green gardens at our resort to the striking mountains, you’re surrounded by hues. And we haven’t even been to the bustling market in Bodrum yet, where I’m holding out for a riot of colour. Of course, no …
