I Dream Of Spring- The Gap
Next stop on the Spring hop is The Gap. I never shop Gap in full price anymore because they almost always have one promotion or another going on or a sale…I cannot remember the last time I paid full price for anything from the Gap. And right now they have an offer going on Spring…

Keep It Simple- The White Company.
Less is more when it comes to a lot of things but this tote takes it to another level. Simple is the word that comes to mind when describing it; fuss free and plain and that is more to its strengths. A bag only has to do one function; fit your life in it. Made…

I Dream of Spring- Zara
Its no secret, Zara is killing the high street game, whether its ripping off Céline or going HAM on the Hermés imitations, its doing the thing to a fine T. What it lacks in innovation, it makes up for in really copy and when it comes to quality, of its three labels, you can always…

Mango- Violeta Plus Size Collection
Mango released Violeta, its Plus size range and all I can say is MEH! We were all so excited that the spanish label and junior sister to Zara decided to release a more inclusive clothing range for its customers, bad enough their sizing is atrocious but we forgave them for that with this announcement, only…

Winter Is Coming; The Boots.
In this round of Winter is Coming, I’m talking boots for all and sundry. I love Autumn Winter dressing, not so much the biting temperatures and slush and aftermath of a beautiful snowstorm that forces us into ugly attire, but the kind of temperatures we are having now, the cooler temps, dry days that still…
