Having not been out-out for a really long time (about a year or so) I now find myself with the daunting task of preparing myself for a night out. We’re not talking about a could-be-casual-so-rock-your-vans night, nope. This is a glitzy glam must-have-high-heels kind of night. With that in mind I have come to the conclusion that I have nothing glamorous enough to wear so I have taken to the

Trainers are a great gift because everyone needs a decent pair of trainers. Whether you're a person who wears trainers on a daily basis, as a casual nip-to-the-shop shoe or for a particular activity like running or playing squash it's highly likely that you have at least one pair of trainers to your name. Probably the biggest names in the trainer game are Nike and Adidas, which each have a

Matching fashion and style with our loved ones has become increasingly popular over the last year or so. Be it his and her shoes, father and son matching shirts or mother and daughter outfits. High street stores have caught onto this adorable trend and are rolling out collections left, right and centre. Matching pjs is one of the go-to's that both Next and Matalan have on offer.

I've featured Betty London in quite a few blog posts over the last couple of years. It's one of those unknown brands that not many people seem to know about but that I've found always deliver a cracking shoe that is both comfy and in style or on trend. My favourite Betty London footwear is a pair of tan coloured flat leather and suede calf boots that I bought about 2 years ago - they are just so

The difference between a good pair of shoes and a bad pair had a lot of do with the brand quality. We expect a lot of our shoes; supporting us day in day out while being pounded into the ground, so it’s important that the quality and assurance we expect of shoe brands meets expectations, especially where more expensive brands are concerned. That being said, we all have brand names we do and don’t

Now that we've had a brief display of how hot the weather can be it's times like these that most of us realise how much we need some suitable shoes or sandals to keep our feet cool and to style with our summer clothes. Footwear can be such a personal thing, especially when you choose to have a such a wide range of options available to you at home (otherwise known as collecting/hoarding/being a

Polka dots can look quite retro and while I like that look on other people it’s really not something that suits my style. However this season has seen some great pieces being launched into the highstreet and I’m very tempted to be brave and give polka dots a go, with the aim to avoid retro vibes if I can. Some of these pieces could be worn in a way that looks styled in the 60s but I think that

The ring detail that started gaining popularity because of the Chloe bag can now be found everywhere. I’ve seen leather gloves and ankle boots with ring pulls, belts with a metal ring decorating it or in place of the buckle and of course many bags inspired by (and mimicking) the original. Handbags, cross body bags and backpack styles are all decorated with this circular hardware and they're

For some time I've been looking for a bag which use the perfect circle hardware in their design. Be it as a handle, decoration or something to help lift the flap and open your bag, this ring detail is all over the fashion industry. I’ve noticed that there are three types of these bags on the market; Some metal ring bags are obviously over-the-top similar to the designer Chloé’s bags (which is

I have recently learnt that comfort is king when it comes to shoes. After going for a reasonable length walk in my daily-wear calf boots and getting blisters (again) I decided enough is enough and I need some decent trainers in my life. Sure I have my Nike Airs but they don’t go with everything thanks to the colour I chose (burgundy, grey and bright orange) and I also have some gel sole Asics but

I read a lot of blogs especially fashion and personal style blogs and I've recently noticed that most don’t give enough credit to basic shoes. Sure the basics are covered when it comes to clothes and shoes get a look-in when discussing capsule wardrobes but aside from that we don’t give them the time of day. With my current need for a comfy flat shoe that’ll go with everything I thought I’d share

With the weather being pretty naff across the country at the moment it’s reasonably sensible to be looking at clothes that will keep us warm and dry. While that sounds boring, it really doesn’t have to be because there’s some great looking cosy knitwear and equally gorgeous outerwear to get excited about out there this post included as it shows some of my favs from a site called Zaful.

Admittedly I haven’t had chance to wear this dress from Tobi yet but as it’s brand new to me, and so very pretty, I thought I’d feature it in a ‘new in’ blog post before it sells out (it’s currently on sale!) and to show what I’ll likely wear it with when I get the opportunity. This dress is just the right amount of classy and flashy for my taste. The loose hanky style hem makes it more

Throughout the winter months the majority of us are drawn to darker shades of the colours we love but there’s nothing wrong with injecting bright colours into an otherwise dark coloured outfit. My favourite way to do this is with statement pieces from my wardrobe like this red leather jacket by Mango. The vibrant red is both suitable for this time of year and gives me great confidence when I wear

Talking about outfits isn’t something I’ve done in a long time, since deciding last year that outfit photos weren’t for me or my blog I’ve avoided writing about clothes in this way and instead focussed on collages of items I want or outfits I’d wear but having recently added a number of great pieces to my wardrobe I’m finding my way back (see my previous blog post for another new in item).

One of my favourite things about this time of year is being able to snuggle up in a comfy knit with a cup of hot chocolate (or even better; an irish cream coffee) and binge watch tv shows. Having recently added a number of cosy pieces to my wardrobe, with the intention of purchasing more, I'm going to do a series of blog posts to show what i'm buying and how I'm wearing these new items.

Biker jackets are one of the most versatile items because you can wear them over anything (and so I wear them with almost everything). With that in mind, over recent years, high street stores and fashion brands have been releasing every type of biker you could imagine which means we can wear them even more often and if you're like me you can build a much loved collection of biker jackets.

Who knows what 2018 will hold. Everyone reflects and plans (and buys a new diary from Typo) at this time if year so while we're all doing that I wanted to wish anyone who reads this a very happy new year. New stationery or new gym gear or a cracking new outfit for work; however you decide to start the new year here's to an amazing 2018! May all of your dreams come true. ♥ abby

Most people wouldn't dream of ordering Christmas presents online at this point and whilst buying online over the next couple of days is cutting it fine it's still possible to receive presents in time for the big day. If you're desperately in need of some last minute gifts then I have found that asos is the winning website for great easy-to-buy gifts and on-point next day delivery (especially if

Though we may only have 4 days left on our advent calendars, 5 if you're lucky, believe it or not there are still calendars for sale. It feels like the world of simple chocolate countdowns is being taken over by the more elaborate, and significantly more expensive, gift advent calendar, not that we're complaining because who doesn't want a gift a day for a month?

There was a time where I really hated pointy shoes. I refused to go near footwear that had a pointy toes, black tights and any form of glittery clothing but now I love all of these things, especially when combined in one awesome outfit. Pointed heel shoes and boots are some of the easiest to wear pieces of footwear because they glam up any old outfit. Shove an oversized knit dress on top of some

With it being Christmas jumper day tomorrow I've been all over the internet looking for the best festive knitwear and pulled together some of my favourites.

When talking about sports trainers there are few brands that come to mind and that's because they're the best and have been leading the way for so many years. Most sport-style trainer fans will have at least one pair of both Adidas and Nike trainers in their collection, though some will collect (and obsess over) just the one brand, making it their ambition to own each and every style that brand
