Capsule Wardrobes

That is "carry on" as in a bag that can be tiny enough to be stuffed into one of those impossible bag sizing boxes by the Airline Gestapo at check in. Not "carry on" as in "it's a total carry on, these charges for being overweight". Well clearly it's a bit of both! I asked my lovely followers for content suggestions and my beautiful client asked for this one, so here you are my love. Your ultimate guide to packing light - the 10 piece carry-on bag friendly capsule wardrobe su

Not at all writing this so I can plan what I am packing for coming trip to London to see clients this week. What started as a "7 outfits for your week" ahead became my typical work week capsule, so I thought I would just share it anyway. I know so many of you have packing anxiety especially for work trips. I am just excited, get my tunes on in the car (well true crime) and a week of meeting lovely new clients, total bliss! As I am sure you know, I spend much of my time in oth

This is a topic that has been requested so many times recently on stories. What to wear on a sunny city break? I thought I'd best get you all off my back, because I am not jealous at all, and just get typing! Now I'm thinking Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, somewhere sunny but still a tiny bit crisp. You still need a jacket type thing? So I have pulled together a little capsule to see you through the weekend and shown you how to wear them and pull them together. BE RUTHLESS / PACK

Have you ever thought “WHY OH WHY did I think I needed 14 black vest tops and 25 evening “looks” for a week in Portugal?? When will I ever learn?” Have you ever done that thing where you go on holiday, come back and realise you only wore a fraction of what you had squished into your bulging case? Have you ever been charged an “over allowance fee” at the airport? Ever bust a suitcase zip while putting all your body weight on it? Well no more! As summer approaches and we dust o

The excitement is palpable... CITY BREAKS ARE BACK ON! I for one, feel like a caged beast, frantically ready to roll. If my darling husband suggests another fun holiday in the family camper-van on a windy Scottish beach I might start crying and never stop. However, glorious 2022 brings with it the joy of travel, with friends who aren't in our bubble even! Actual sunshine short breaks that develop tans which are not from a can! MY MIND IS BLOWN! Anyway, I could waffle on for d

Anyone starting a new job in January? It's such a January thing to do isn't it? New Year, NEW YOU! Or perhaps you are on the hunt for that new role, the job of your dreams, a lift in your salary and a step up? Or maybe like Bridget Jones, you need a new job because had to leave your old one because you shagged your boss? Whatever your own very special circumstances I have the wardrobe for you. If you have followed me for a while you will appreciate I advocate a wardrobe th

Ok, so I appreciate some of you are heading off to sunny climes and facing the risk of last minute red zone relegation and wrestling face-masks onto children on 4 hour flights. I can barely keep a dinosaur face-mask on one 9 year old for 10 minutes in Lidl let alone a sweaty aircraft so I am not in the 'chancing it' mood. But if you are leaving the UK, Bonne Vacance and this blog isn't for you! Its for we rufty tufty stay-at-home-camping-UK kind of heros! We are just back fr
