Here we are in another year, 2016 and I have not put much on here for a while.     Sadly my mother died in February last year.  I do miss her so much.

I have been, as is my want, looking at the current fashions from the catwalk shows and magazine presentations.   Not fussed with the catwalk stuff, I know it is an art form but it is not wearable in many instances.    What appears most horrid are the ultra thin, frail and pale models....you can't really seriously want to look like them.

Before I go on I must say that the red and white check suit with knee length skirt that the Duchess of Cambridge wore the other day was divine...smart, chic, and wearable totally.

Having moved recently I have resorted my own wardrobe to see what I can transform.   it includes everything ....shoes and handbags, T shirts the long type with like a vest, go anywhere under anything.

I like the fact that fashions come round,   Denim does not really go out of fashion...so I can do it this year.  Bringing out my wide leg trousers.


For the young (ops very ageist) check out 'Look' page 38 and see the River Island skirt in angular block colour......great for work, wear with the individual colours as shirts of jumpers.  Try Jackets with it....in matching colours could give you so many outfits ideal for work.....oh don't forget second hand shops and of course know your wardrobe so you can make a new look.

My other insight is silver/metallic pleated skirt.   Pastels, florals and lace done them before as well so out the come.   Have found a product that as a hair colour may work for me.....metallic silver.....just wish my hair was white....wish I could add the pastels as well.  Never ever without my simple plain long jersey skirts.


 For a perfume I love wearing coconut (Body shop) as a spray and an oil serum (even on hair for all around awesome perfume) divine.  Also love the smell of lily of the valley....so fresh and light.



A person whose look I really  like....is Cerys Matthews, with her voice .....so individual.  That is the key...be an individual.


Rather like the cover of  Bazaar.....great looking Robin Wright....love the cut of her hair. She looks fab in the Ralph Lauren's blue and white stripe dress..
