It’s the season for… half-sleeve sweaters!
I call this in-between season ‘springshine’ – you get a bit of sunshine but there’s still a crisp ‘freshness’ in the air. So while I’m tempted to pull out my short-sleeve knits, I inevitably end up layering a cardigan on top. (Or at least over the shoulders Hooray-style.)
& Daughter has the answer with this Scottish-made lambswool Geelong T-shirt (above) – a looser, half-sleeve knit. (more…)
Following on from my SS22 trends post, this just dropped into my inbox. Sara Lanzi’s SS22 collection includes this striped taffeta drop-waist dress which lends itself very nicely to the trend for hard-meets-soft styling. Add a chunky cardigan, vintage Levi’s jacket and rugged-sole lace-ups* for London-in-spring’s all-weather eventualities. (more…)
What’s new in fashion? Nothing much! What’s being reprised, updated, revamped, remixed? Loads. This spring it’s mostly about rehashing the 90s and 00s and what’s kind of scary is that ‘the 90s’ is now officially retro in the way the 50s was for me. It’s really quite terrifying interesting to see. (more…)
Two recent discoveries on my radar for Mother’s Day* – or any other gifting occasion…
POTT CANDLES. Pott (above) is a candle subscription service offering handmade ceramic pots with refillable hand-poured scented candles. Choose your pot, then select your fragrance from a choice of ten (or an unscented one if you prefer) to get a new candle refill every month. The pots start at £30 (for the Petite size) and the subscription refills start at £10 a month (for the Petite).
If your giftee isn’t into subscription services (but who wouldn’t love this?!), Pott also sells individual candle pots. (more…)
