Last week Kate Middleton was photographed wearing an Orla Kiely coat, which for a long time has been my favourite brand. My small collection is limited to handbags, bedding and stationery. However, an exciting partnership between Orla Kiely and Uniqlo might just make the brand more affordable for me and many others. Speaking about the…

A pink explosion
I’m the first to admit I have no fashion sense at all and dress for comfort rather than anything else. I like to look nice but dread having to go shopping for a special outfit for a wedding or party. Having a boy has been great as he is so easy to buy clothes for….

Fashion shame
As much as I love looking through old photographs I really didn’t want to look back at ones of myself! I was born in 1977 so pretty much all the photos of me from when I was born until I left home for Uni show fashion disasters. Unlike my older sister I never cared about…
Monthly Make – April
Longer, warmer days make me want to get on with my long list of sewing projects. This month I’ve made a cute tshirt for Edward from a paper doll set which I picked up at the Spring Country Living Fair. Do you remember the paper dolls you had as a child? The clothes never seemed…
Cath Kidston and Uniqlo Charity Project
