Planning for Travel: Here We Go Again.
We’re planning for travel this winter. Not actually travelling, but reading and researching and dreaming of our next big trip.
Shopping Memories: The Indulgent Years
In between being a poor student, an underpaid young teacher, and an aspiring ethical shopper, I had a few indulgent years. The years when I had enough money to buy what I wanted. And did.
On Being Sick … and Reading in Bed
I’ve been sick this past week with a killer cold. Thank god for reading in bed, is all I can say.
Fessing Up About Slow Fashion
I’m taking wardrobe inventory this week. Looking at what I bought in 2019, and assessing how I’m doing in my efforts to be a more ethical shopper.
Christmas Doings
Wishing you a fabulous Christmas and all the wonderful black and white Christmas movies you can stand. Everyone knows the old movies are the best.
Are You Guilty of Accessory Excess?
I’ve been musing about accessories lately. Can I still be considered an accessory minimalist? Or am I guilty of accessory excess?
Fair Isle Sweater Weather
It’s Fair Isle sweater weather. Cold, crisp, and sunny. Fair Isle sweaters are on trend this season. And I just happen to have several that I made myself.
Ongoing Closet Goal: Wearing Old Stuff
My closet goal this fall is to wear what I own, to wear all the old stuff in my closet. But I needed something new to be able to do that.
Hunkering Down With My Book
When darkness comes early you’ll find us hunkered down with a good book. Or three. Here’s what we’ve been reading.
What Are You Obsessed With Right Now?
I’m getting cranky again over all the hyperbole on the internet. I mean. Can we all just get over being “obsessed” with everything?
Best Laid Plans And All That
I’m at my mum’s this week. And our best laid plans have fallen apart. All because of a couple of silly choices and a bad back.
Make Dressing Easy. So Easy.
I’m looking for a few outfits to make dressing easy. Outfits that will be easy to haul out of the closet, pull on, and look good.
That Old Birth Lottery Thing Again.
This week of Remembrance Day I’m remembering our trip to Bosnia-Herzegovina. And thanking my lucky stars not to have seen my country torn apart by war.
