          10 tips for a Winter Wardrobe Shuffle
          October 20, 2016

          A simple silk square?

          October 11, 2016

          Something I had to try, after seeing on the catwalk at Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana, was the headscarf. The last time I wore one with pride was in the early 70’s when my mum would make my sister and me matching dresses and scarves. We felt a million dollars. Now, I feel somewhat silly, but I do love the small scale prettiness of a printed square that has so many uses…honestly!

          On my recent annual visit to Lyme Regis (perfect windy headscarf location) I decided to scour the second hand stores, no luck, but then found three in the sea front vintage store, one by Mary Quant, and two silky ones that were just very pretty.

          One moment I wore as a front neck drape, the next, as the rain started, tied to keep my hair dry (for the short dash back to base!)

          Then the next day I tied on my bag for a colour flash, then moved to a side tie to keep my hair from blowing during a jurassic stroll.

          I wanted to look as elegant as the Gucci gals but alas, this was the best we could do, land girls Lyme style.

          And after this little experiment I may just use in a less obvious way – a simple wrist wrap for colour.

          How brave will you be in the windy weather?

          Moving through my forties I've gained confidence to believe in 'style over trends' - quality wins (most of the time) and not to take it all too seriously. A great jacket is always my motto, and I like to play about with old and new and mix in some craft ideas too. I work with lovely clients who want a concise wardrobe or a unique outfit for a special occasion. I hope to inspire you.
