I'd describe this print as a cross between polka dots and animal print because the spots aren't uniform in shape and size. I'd been looking for
- [Off the Shoulder Chambray Frill Top and Flower Sunglasses](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/off-the-shoulder-chambray-frill-top-and-flower-sunglasses/) - I love the off the shoulder trend that's been absolutely everywhere over the summer, but it can be a tricky look to pull off if you're curvy. I've tried loads of tops in the search for one that fits across the chest but doesn't hang like a sack on the waist. I was determined to find "the one"

I featured

- [Classic navy trousers and sweater with a red coat + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/classic-navy-trousers-and-sweater-with-a-red-coat-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - During my recent Asos shopping spree when I bought the multi-coloured faux fur coat, I did purchase something a little more "sensible" too. Straight or flared leg trousers are wardrobe essentials for me. I have lots of cropped peg leg trousers, which are great for Summer, but not brilliant for colder weather, unless you wear
- [Style Not Age: Spring Greens](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/style-not-age-spring-greens/) - Well it certainly feels like Spring, even if officially we're not quite there yet. In meteorological terms (that's as hard to say as it is spell!) March 1st is the start of Spring, but the trees and plants have other ideas. I woke up this morning to a tree in beautiful blossom but frost on
- [How We Style Seven Shades of Green + #StylishMonday Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/seven-shades-of-green/) - We're back with the second #StylishMonday link up, and as it's officially Spring we're sharing how we style seven shades of green! It's obviously a popular colour because you may remember the Style Not Age theme for last month was also green. Luckily I have plenty to choose from in my wardrobe so it was
- [Brown and navy: a classic workwear outfit + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/brown-and-navy-a-classic-workwear-outfit-link-up/) - A classic workwear outfit for me is a simple trousers and fitted jumper combination. I'm so happy that I bagged these Finery trousers at less than half price :-) They're still available at Asos for only £32 and they are worth every penny! Adding a pair of good quality navy or black trousers to your
- [Check fishtail skirt and tweed jacket + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/check-fishtail-skirt-and-tweed-jacket/) - This outfit was meant to be for Sunday's post, but my site was down (again) for most of the evening. Technology frustrates me to the nth degree when it doesn't bend to my will, but I had to admit defeat. Sometimes you just have to walk away and do something else for the sake of
- [Leopard Print and Red Coat + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-and-red-coat/) - I hope you've all had a lovely weekend! They pass far too quickly don't they? Last week certainly had its trials, mainly due to moving to a new web host. After being forced to miss last Sunday's post I decided I had to move to another web host. In theory it went very well, apart
- [Tartan jacket and check ankle boots + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/tartan-jacket-and-check-ankle-boots/) - Where did the weekend go? I think I blinked and missed it. But then most weekends pass by in a flash when I'm not working. It was certainly busy, mostly due to taking Isobel to various activities. Plus she had her friend round for a sleepover...midnight feasts, making slime, you know how it goes! I
- [Red dress with leopard print accessories + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-dress-with-leopard-print-accessories-link-up/) - It's so tempting at this time of year to forget about dresses in favour of sweaters, trousers and boots. Well, until the party season starts, but it's a little bit early for that just yet (even if the shops are full of Christmas stuff already!). If you have an event to go to that requires an
- [Check coat and embellished sock trainers](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/check-coat-and-embellished-sock-trainers/) - Are you ready for the weekend? I'm definitely looking forward to sleeping in after a couple of very early starts and long days this week. I still have a few Christmas gifts to buy so I'll be trying to finish off my shopping over the weekend. I'll probably do most of it online because I don't
- [Leopard print pussy bow blouse and coated skinny jeans + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-pussy-bow-blouse/) - Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day! I had a relaxing day at home with the family, inlcuding my mum and mother-in-law. Isobel woke us up at 6am so I had to have a couple of little naps throughout the day! After a big sleep last night I think I'm just
- [Bright green coat with red accessories + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bright-green-coat-with-red-accessories-link-up/) - Until recently, I couldn't have worn a bright green coat with red accessories. This colour combination just seemed too Christmassy, which in my mind was bad enough at Christmas. But wearing it just after Christmas was unthinkable. You might be wondering then what brought about this change of heart...it had to be another blogger of
- [Matching yellow jackets, glitter trousers and biker boots + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/matching-yellow-jackets-glitter-trousers-and-biker-boots-link-up/) - My little girl is not so little now, and just like her mama, is showing a keen interest in fashion! She loves us to wear matching outfits...and to be honest, I do too! This isn't the first time she's appeared on the blog - we've twinned in gingham tunics and black biker jackets and motif sweaters
- [Match Made in Seven: Punk](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/match-made-in-seven-punk/) - Welcome to the monthly edition of Match Made in Seven! We are a international group of fashion bloggers who meet once a month. One of us chooses a theme in turn, and that can be anything. A book, music, a color, a movie. And then we style an outfit based on that theme. The theme
- [Stylish Mondays - Ladies in Red + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/stylish-mondays-ladies-in-red/) - Welcome to a brand new blogger collaboration and Stylish Mondays monthly link up! I've teamed up with eight other bloggers for our first theme, which is "Ladies in Red". Very appropriate as February is the month of Valentine's Day ❤️ Because it's a colour I wear a lot, I wanted to go all out by wearing
- [Style Not Age - Styling our January Jumpers](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/style-not-age-styling-our-january-jumpers/) - Happy Monday and welcome to the first Style Not Age challenge of the year! It was Anna's turn to pick the theme and she chose very sensibly given the weather. This month we are styling our January jumpers in an effort to stay warm (and stylish of course!). I wear jumpers every day for probably
- [Pale Blue and Shades of Pink + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pale-blue-and-shades-of-pink-link-up/) - Life lately Well the last few days haven't been the best. Some of you may have seen on Facebook that the animal sanctuary where I volunteer was broken into at the weekend and two of the tame foxes stolen. This has left all of the staff there totally devastated. Alice and Rift are the sweetest
- [Mixing cobalt and mustard again + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/mixing-cobalt-and-mustard-again/) - We all have our favourite colour combinations, right? Well, cobalt and mustard is definitely one of mine. The last time I wore these two colours together it was the other way round - mustard trousers and a cobalt top. When I bought these trousers in the River Island sale a couple of months ago I
- [Stripes, polka dots and frills + Sunday Reflections link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/stripes-polka-dots-and-frills/) - I've had to force myself to step away from the leopard print (albeit momentarily) and wear some of my other recent sale purchases. Even though I already own a pair of silky black culottes I couldn't resist these with the frill on one side. On paper they don't make sense - I mean who would
- [Zara leopard print shirt dress + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/zara-leopard-print-shirt-dress-link-up/) - Two major trends I'm loving for A/W are animal print and shades of deep yellow. In fact I wore both of my latest obsessions in last week's Style Not Age and Style With a Smile posts. It's true that I've always been a fan of animal print, particularly leopard...it's never not in style is it? Wearing
- [Five major fashion trends for Autumn/Winter 2018 + Sunday Reflections link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/five-major-fashion-trends-of-autumn-winter-2018/) - I'm now fully in A/W dressing mode and loving all the new season stuff that's hitting the rails. On the high street, Zara and Mango are really knocking it out of the park, with animal and check prints featuring heavily. Some trends seem to come around every year, which is great because you don't have
- [Red jeans, check jacket and a hint of mustard + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-jeans-check-jacket-and-a-hint-of-mustard/) - Sometimes outfits come about in completely random ways. That's how it was with this combination. I bought these red jeans a couple of years ago on eBay. They were brand new with tags and cost about £10. But when they arrived...alas, they were too tight. So they've been sitting in the wardrobe ever since. The
- [Dressing for comfort in athleisure + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/dressing-for-comfort-in-athleisure-link-up/) - The athleisure trend isn't exactly new, but its recent surge in popularity has put it firmly on the fashion map. By some of the comments I've seen about, it seems to be a style that divides opinion, which is understandable. The concept of dressing in sportswear for other social settings is problematic for two reasons:
- [Red and blue floral print shirt dress + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-and-blue-floral-print-shirt-dress/) - We've been really lucky with the weather in the UK recently - I can't remember when we last had such a long spell of warm and sunny days. I'm loathe to pack away all of my coats and jumpers just in case it comes to an abrupt end. But given the lack of space in
- [May Beauty Favourites + Sunday Reflections link up](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/may-beauty-favourites-sunday-reflections-link-up/) - It's been ages since I last did a beauty post so today I'm sharing some new products that I've been trying out recently. I think it's good to have a refresh every so often to avoid sinking into a rut, and I was getting to that point. While I have my tried and tested favourites
- [Black and white polka dots with an asymmetric skirt + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-and-white-polka-dots-with-an-asymmetric-skirt/) - I've always been more of a stripes person than polka dots, but the tables have turned just lately. Dotty prints are really having a moment this season and I'm loving it. You may remember I included polka dots in my 5 Favourites Trends For Summer post a couple of weeks ago, where I featured these
- [Celebrity Mua Masterclass in Manchester + Sunday Reflections link up](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/celebrity-mua-masterclass-in-manchester/) - Last Sunday I had a really fun day at the Celebrity Mua Masterclass in Manchester. The event was in association with Debenhams and hosted by Amy from Amy's Makeup Box, who demonstrated two different makeup looks. Amy has a whopping 388k followers on Instagram and 406k YouTube subscribers! Contrary to what you might expect from someone
- [The Marks and Spencer Summer Beauty and Tili Violet Blooms Beauty Boxes + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/the-marks-and-spencer-summer-beauty-and-tili-violet-blooms-beauty-boxes/) - Happy Sunday! I hope you've all had a great weekend! Mine has been very busy but so much fun :-) Isobel turned nine on Tuesday so we had a party for her and some friends on Saturday; the weather was glorious so all the kids had big water pistols and ran around the garden like
- [Tips for feeling body confident in beachwear + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/tips-for-feeling-body-confident-in-beachwear-link-up/) - It's been so hot here in the UK recently that I've been wearing my beachwear around the house and garden! Now, I've got to admit that I've always struggled to feel truly confident in beachwear; I'm particularly self-conscious about my legs. We all have that particular body part that takes longer to respond to diet
- [How to dress up shorts and stay cool in the heat + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/how-to-dress-up-shorts-and-stay-cool-in-the-heat-link-up/) - My goodness, it's been unbearably hot and humid this last couple of days. As if trying to keep cool isn't hard enough, I had a two and half hour drive across country to my mum's in a car with no air conditioning yesterday. It was hideous and I sweated buckets. We shot these photos just
- [Dressing up jeans and a T-shirt + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/dressing-up-jeans-and-a-t-shirt/) - I've always been a bit of a daydreamer, so this T-shirt is quite appropriate (rêveur is French for dreamer). I used to get told off by my teachers frequently for staring out of the window instead of concentrating on what I was supposed to be doing. I have a low boredom threshold, but one outfit
- [Mix print wrap dress for an anniversary lunch + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/mix-print-wrap-dress-for-an-anniversary-lunch-link-up/) - I've indulged in a spot of dress shopping this last week or so...I'm blaming the glorious weather. Well, that and the fact that there are so many gorgeous dresses out there to tempt me. It started with a visit to Zara when I was working in Leeds, and that just whetted my appetite. Since then
- [Diagonal striped wide leg trousers and crab straw bag + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/diagonal-striped-wide-leg-trousers-and-crab-straw-bag/) - You might recognise the location of these photos...it's the same place as last week's Style With a Smile link up post. Yes, we were back at our local gastro pub...the new vegan menu is a big hit with me! But we weren't there to celebrate our wedding anniversary again...my dad came over from France to
- [Jumpsuit Joy Style Not Age May challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/jumpsuit-for-joy-style-not-age-may-challenge/) - As it's nearing the end of the month it's time for the Jumpsuit Joy Style Not Age May challenge! This month it was Anna's turn to choose and I was definitely not short on options for this theme. You probably know by now that I'm slightly obsessed with jumpsuits ;-) As it happened, I'd just
- [My 5 favourite Summer trends + Sunday Reflections link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/my-5-favourite-summer-trends-link-up/) - Well, it's Sunday again and I don't know where the week has gone, never mind the weekend. They seem to go by in a flash. I'm in the middle of a very busy period at work and have barely had time to get the essential things done. Needless to say, come Friday evening there's a
- [Leopard Print Faux Fur Jacket + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-faux-fur-jacket/) - The weather has turned rather cold lately so I've been layering up and wearing my warmest clothes. A faux fur coat is perfect for beating the Winter chills while staying stylish. I have a few furry coats (my latest addition was the bright red one) but I'll always have a soft spot for leopard print.
- [Shades of Pink With a Sprinkle of Glitter + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/shades-of-pink-with-a-sprinkle-of-glitter-link-up/) - This casual festive outfit came about by accident really, but I'm really happy with how it turned out. You see, when Damart offered me an item to review I chose this jumper but in red. However, there was a bit of a mix up with the link I sent over and I received this nude
- [Gold Lurex Dress and Knee Boots + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/gold-lurex-dress-and-knee-boots/) - I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day! I spent it at home with family relaxing and building a My Little Pony Castle! Thankfully Isobel didn't get up until around 7.30, which was a miracle considering how excited she was. In the end I wore my Damart pink cashmere jumper and black skinny jeans
- [Paper Dolls Black Lace Dress + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/paper-dolls-black-lace-dress-link-up/) - Happy New Year! I hope you all had a fantastic New Year's Eve, whether you were partying or having a quiet one at home. We had a little party at home with friends and their kids, which was lots of fun. Isobel loved having some of her classmates and their siblings over to play, while
- [A Classic Wrap Dress Never Goes Out of Fashion + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/a-classic-wrap-dress-never-goes-out-of-fashion-link-up/) - I love to buy new clothes (as I'm sure you know by now) but sometimes it's good to bring out an old favourite. I've had this wrap dress for years, in fact I wore it before on the blog almost six years ago to the day! A classic wrap dress never goes out of fashion,
- [Faux Leather Pleated Skirt and Badger Jumper + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/faux-leather-pleated-skirt-and-badger-jumper/) - I'm sure you know how much I love animal motif jumpers by now. I've worn the cute cat and mouse one and my favourite Joules fox jumper on the blog before. My wildlife obsession frequently influences my outfit choices. Well, I simply couldn't leave the badger out - this much-maligned creature is one of the
- [Blue Biker Jacket and Skinny Glitter Jeans + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/blue-biker-jacket-and-skinny-glitter-jeans/) - Just when I thought Spring was on its way we get this Siberian blast and the temperature has dropped to freezing. It had just started to snow when I set off for work early this morning! The weather warmed up a little bit briefly last week - enough for me to wear a jacket rather than
- [Pink Joules Corgi Jumper and Bright Green Trousers + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pink-joules-corgi-jumper-and-bright-green-trousers/) - Well, the "Beast from the East" has passed and it's business as usual with grey and damp weather. It had just started to rain as we did these photos, so they were done in a rush. Typically, the sun came out afterwards! But after the recent cold snap I feel like I can now look
- [Bronze Faux Leather Pleated Skirt and Patent Boots + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bronze-faux-leather-pleated-skirt-and-patent-boots/) - If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my recent charity shop bargains on Insta stories. A couple of weeks ago I picked up this skirt for a mere £3...brand new from M&S! I also scored a gorgeous deep purple velvet jacket from Next for £2 and a stunning fishtail skirt (also M&S)
- [Gingham Ruffle Sleeve Top and Purple Trousers + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/gingham-ruffle-sleeve-top-and-purple-trousers/) - I've given up trying to second guess the weather - just when I think Spring is imminent we get another icy blast. The day after we took these photos it snowed...again! Despite the disappointing temperatures I'm starting to bring a little new season cheer to my wardrobe. Pairing this gingham ruffle sleeve top and purple
- [Shades of Blue With a Pop of Yellow + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/shades-of-blue-with-a-pop-of-yellow/) - I did my usual trick recently of going to TKMaxx to return something and coming out with more items than I went in with! I spotted these jeans prominently displayed at the end of the rail, and when I saw the price (£14.99) and the quality of the denim I had to try them on.
- [After the Rain Comes the Rainbow | Style Not Age April Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/after-the-rain-comes-the-rainbow/) - Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend :-) It was my turn to choose the theme for this month's Style Not Age challenge, and I wanted it to be season-appropriate. After mulling over a few ideas I decided to base it on the optimistic phrase "after the rain comes the rainbow".
- [My Favourite Alternative to a Maxi Dress: Issa Printed Jumpsuit + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/my-favourite-alternative-to-a-maxi-dress-issa-printed-jumpsuit-link-up/) - On previous holidays my go-to evening outfits have been mostly maxi dresses. They are easy to wear, comfortable and require little thought when it comes to accessories. To cut down on packing I usually take a neutral-coloured bag and sandals, plus a few pieces of jewellery that will work with any outfit. But as I
- [A Dressy Jumpsuit For Evening](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/a-dressy-jumpsuit-for-evening/) - Before my holiday I ordered three Issa jumpsuits that were on sale at House of Fraser. I knew straight away that the other two (featured here and here) were definite keepers as they have the potential to be quite versatile. But I wasn't sure about this one. The fabric is thinner and quite slinky, making
- [Issa Wide Leg Jumpsuit + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/issa-wide-leg-jumpsuit/) - Well we've had some glorious hot and sunny weather in the UK for the last few days...sadly it's now on its way out though. All good things must come to an end. The unusually high temperatures for early May made me feel like I was holiday again. In fact I haven't even put any of my holiday
- [Anne Klein Dress for Less Than a Fiver + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/anne-klein-dress-for-less-than-a-fiver/) - You must all know by now how much I love picking up bargains in charity shops and on eBay. On a recent charity shop spree (when I bought this check jacket amongst other things) I found this Anne Klein dress for less than a fiver. To be precise it cost me £4.50. I didn't even try
- [Red Lace Dress and Velvet Jacket + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-lace-dress-and-velvet-jacket-link-up/) - For Friday's post I shared three outfits for a Spring wedding, which I'd put together because I had a family wedding on Saturday. I was still deliberating which one to pick right up until the last minute, but in the end I chose the red lace dress and velvet jacket. Red is my confident colour (I got
- [Gold Sparkly Jumper and Glitter Jeans + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/gold-sparkly-jumper-and-glitter-jeans/) - Just because the festive season is over it doesn't mean we have to pack away the sparkly clothes does it? Any time of year is good for glitter and sequins in my opinion. It doesn't have to be full-on bling though. Sometimes a subtle shimmer is enough. With that in mind, I bought this gold
- [Bright Yellow Coat and Meeting Jacynth from The Bias Cut + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bright-yellow-coat-and-meeting-jacynth-from-the-bias-cut/) - Did you all enjoy the fireworks over the weekend? We went over to a friend's house for a bonfire and BBQ on Sunday evening. Thankfully the weather didn't let us down, but boy was it cold! This isn't my favourite time of year, although it does mean we get to wear gorgeous coats. I've actually
- [Check Jacket, Lace Skirt and Shiny Boots + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/check-jacket-lace-skirt-and-shiny-boots-link-up/) - How was your weekend? I've been unexpectedly busy with work lately, which is great for the bank balance just before Christmas, but it meant not much time for blogging. We did manage to take some photos at the weekend when I got home just before it got dark. Oh how I miss daylight in the evenings! A
- [Tili Beauty Box Fifth Edition](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/tili-beauty-box-fifth-edition/) - Happy Friday! Are you all ready for the weekend? I know I am after this morning's 5am alarm call! Today I'm sharing my latest beauty indulgence, the Tili Beauty Box Fifth Edition from QVC. The Tili boxes have all had rave reviews and it's easy to see why: you get to try a selection of high-end beauty products
- [Needlite Daylight Desk Lamps](https://www.style-splash.com/lifestyle/needlite-daylight-desk-lamps/) - As we approach the end of October I'm really noticing the nights drawing in. Come next weekend when the clocks go back an hour it'll really feel like Winter is almost upon us. Typically at this time of year I start noticing the negative effects of the shorter days and longer nights, such as feeling
- [Checked Coat and Wide Brim Hat for a Walk in the Forest + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/checked-coat-and-wide-brim-hat-for-a-walk-in-the-forest/) - Another busy week has just flown by and already it's the last day of October! Last week was half term and my husband's 50th birthday. For the last few years we've been abroad for October half term but my husband couldn't get the time off work this year so we celebrated his half century with
- [Red Faux Fur Coat and Black Coated Jeans + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-faux-fur-coat-and-black-coated-jeans-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I'm sure you all know how much I love red, and it just so happens to be THE colour this season. I already have a couple of red coats, but when I saw this faux fur one on the LOTD website it had to be mine! Last week I chose Lisa of the Sequinist as one of my link up
- [Leopard Print Boots and a Peplum Skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/leopard-print-boots-and-a-peplum-skirt/) - Well that's British Summer Time done for another year, sigh. Did you all enjoy the extra hour in bed? On second thoughts maybe it's best not to answer that! ;-) I can't pretend I like the long dark evenings and shorter days, which make doing blog photos so much more difficult. There are a few
- [Double Leopardy | Knee High Boots and Asos Satchel](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/double-leopardy-knee-high-boots-and-asos-satchel/) - I do love a bit of leopard print...can you tell? These wild accessories required some taming with an otherwise all black outfit. I'm not quite brave enough to throw colour in the mix too! Of all the animal prints leopard is most definitely my favourite, closely followed by snake print. While this double leopardy outfit
- [Purple Escada Jacket and Black Lace Skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/purple-escada-jacket-black-lace-skirt/) - If there's one item of clothing that's guaranteed to pull an outfit together it's a jacket. Paired with jeans and a T-shirt, it will instantly elevate your outfit. Worn with a skirt for a more formal look, it oozes confidence and poise. Plus, when it's still a bit too warm for a coat, a jacket
- [Red Skirt and Sock Boots + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/red-skirt-and-sock-boots/) - It's Tuesday again already and I can't believe how quickly the last week has flown by! I spent the weekend visiting my mum as it was her birthday last week. The annual 1940s weekend event was taking place just a few miles away in a neighbouring village, so we spent the afternoon there along with my
- [Styling a Jumpsuit For Day to Night + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/styling-a-jumpsuit-for-day-to-night/) - I know it's only mid October but the festive season is fast approaching. That means lots of parties and after work drinks. I don't live close enough to my place of work to nip home and get changed, so going out straight after a day at the office requires some clever outfit planning. This is
- [Striped Statement Sleeves and Jeans](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/striped-statement-sleeves-and-jeans/) - I don't think I'll ever get tired of the statement sleeve trend. Even though they do make wearing a jacket tricky, frilled, flared and ruffled sleeves are guaranteed to elevate even the most basic outfit. This top is another fab sale purchase I picked up in Dorothy Perkins. The ties on the sleeves are a
- [Jeans and a Jacket by the Sea](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/jeans-and-a-jacket-by-the-sea/) - A simple jacket and jeans combination is one of my favourite outfits. Casual but smart, this classic pairing is appropriate for so many situations. On my recent holiday to Brittany we had a little shopping trip to Paimpol, a charming little town with some fabulous shops. I spotted this jacket on a sale rail reduced to
- [Seafolly Jumpsuit and Hessian Crossbody Pom Pom Bag](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/seafolly-jumpsuit-and-hessian-crossbody-pom-pom-bag/) - With the kids off school for the long summer break many of us are preparing to jet off on holiday somewhere warm and sunny. The UK summer seems to have taken a holiday itself lately, the weather has been very disappointing to say the least! I've already had a week in Brittany at my dad's
- [Pink Culottes and Cold Shoulder Top + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pink-culottes-and-cold-shoulder-top-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - It really feels like Autumn is just around the corner now with the evenings drawing in. The main consolation of Summer nearing its end is the sales. Although there's a lot of tat on the rails, if you have the patience to trawl through them it can pay off. I bought these pink culottes at
- [Stripes and Cats + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/stripes-and-cats/) - There's only one way to improve a striped top, and that's with a little embellishment. While I love a stripes and floral print combo, nothing comes close to stripes and cats! I'm a sucker for animal motifs so when I saw this top in the Mango sale I added it to my online shopping basket
- [A Comfortable, Chic Outfit For a Day Sightseeing in Zurich](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/a-comfortable-chic-outfit-for-a-day-sightseeing-in-zurich/) - A few weeks ago we had a wonderful five days in Switzerland, staying with friends who live by Lake Zug. Although it was a short trip we managed to packs lots in, including a day on the lake and hiking up a mountain. With so many different activities, knowing what to pack was a challenge.
- [Finery Graffiti Floral Print Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/finery-graffiti-floral-print-dress/) - Well it certainly feels like the new season is here now with the kids back to school and grey, wet weather. I really haven't missed the morning school run or the cooler weather. I'm hoping we still get some sunshine and decent temperatures before Autumn really starts to bite. I'm seeing lots of rich, Autumnal colours
- [Mistral Cardigan and Leaf Print Skirt + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/mistral-skirt-cardigan-style-smile-link/) - I'm fully embracing Autumn now, which is just as well really as the weather certainly seems to have forgotten all about Summer. Digging out all my coloured tights and ankle boots has been quite enjoyable. Ankle boots are a huge trend this A/W so I'm well prepared with my ample collection. That won't stop me
- [Laura Ashley Bird Print Blouse and Navy Trousers + Style With a Smile Link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/laura-ashley-bird-print-blouse-and-navy-trousers/) - I love summertime and never want it to end, but as soon as the kids break up for the holidays I know it'll be over in the blink of an eye. With this in mind I'm keeping an eye on the A/W trends and thinking of ways to transition my wardrobe. Opting for rich tones inspired by
- [Wedding Guest Dresses From PrettyLittleThing + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/wedding-guest-dresses-from-pretty-little-thing-link-up/) - Wedding season is in full swing, which means many of us will be hitting the shops in search of the perfect dress. Comfort is paramount because attending a wedding can be a very long day. Sitting down for the meal and all the speeches requires a comfortable dress - anything restrictive will be cause for regret. On the
- [Sunshine Yellow Dress in Brittany + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/sunshine-yellow-dress-in-brittany/) - I'm just back from a wonderful holiday in Brittany where we took advantage of the beautiful surroundings for these photos. I'm very lucky that my dad lives in such a picturesque part of the world which is only an hour's flight away. We go every Summer but I'm hoping to make more frequent trips, even
- [Bonmarché Red Dress Styled Two Ways + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bonmarche-red-dress-styled-two-ways-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - It's no secret that red is my favourite colour - it featured prominently in last week's link up post paired with pink - but this week it's taking centre stage. As it's wedding season I decided to wear this Bonmarché red dress styled two ways - albeit very subtly, with two different shoe and handbag options.
- [Red Culottes and Cobalt Top](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-culottes-and-cobalt-top/) - You've probably gathered by now that I'm a fan of culottes. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea, but there are so many different styles out there at the moment. If you've been hesitating about trying culottes, there's never been a better time for finding a style to suit you. They have all the flow
- [Roman Originals Navy Spot Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/roman-originals-navy-spot-dress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - It's often said that the devil is in the detail, but I like to flip that on its head and appreciate the details...especially on clothes. A little design tweak here and there can make a big difference. This Roman Originals navy spot dress is a perfect example of that. The waist tie and fluted hemline elevate the fit
- [What to Wear For a Summer Wedding + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/what-to-wear-for-a-summer-wedding/) - Knowing what to wear for a Summer wedding when it actually feels like Summer can be tricky. Staying cool and composed isn't easy in a heatwave, and by UK standards it's been really hot. We travelled over to my mum's in Cambridgeshire at the weekend for a family wedding reception at the beautiful Wadenhoe House in nearby
- [Black and White Maxi Dress With a Wide Brim Hat + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-and-white-maxi-dress-with-a-wide-brim-hat/) - A flowing maxi dress is my go-to in hot weather. They give coverage without making me feel hot and trussed up. Admittedly, I probably get more wear out of them on holiday than I do in the UK. However, the recent heatwave gave me the opportunity to wear this black and white one from Liquorish.
- [Gingham Ruffles, Denim and Embroidered Shoes + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/gingham-ruffles-denim-and-embroidered-shoes-link-up/) - You could say I'm fashionably late to the gingham party. In fact, if I'd left it any later everyone would have drunk up and gone home. My procrastinating came to an abrupt end when an email arrived informing me the Zara sale had started. Not only did I order this top, but also the matching
- [Tarte 7 Piece Maneater Make-up Collection and Bag](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/tarte-7-piece-maneater-make-up-collection-and-bag/) - After becoming hooked on Tarte mascara I couldn't resist this Tarte 7 Piece Maneater Make-up Collection and Bag which was on offer at QVC.

We've had some glorious weather here in the UK, which has given me the opportunity to wear my Zara sale bargains. I'd had my eye on this skirt for a while, and almost bought it pre-sale, but I chose the skirt
- [British Retro Saucy Postcard Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/british-retro-saucy-postcard-dress-style-smile-link/) - It may not be cool to admit it in today's politically correct culture, but I'm a huge fan of Carry On films. I love the innuendos and slapstick humour, so when I saw this British Retro saucy postcard dress on sale I had to have it. I bought it during the depths of Winter and have
- [Metallic Culottes and Cold Shoulder Top + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/metallic-culottes-and-cold-shoulder-top/) - I'm loving culottes right now and have unashamedly purchased several pairs in recent months. They might not be everyone's cup of tea, but on warm days when it's too breezy for a skirt they're my go-to. Pairing up these metallic culottes and cold shoulder top ticks off two major trends (who'd have thought the cold shoulder

It sounds ridiculous doesn't it? And yet when I popped into Zara a couple of weeks ago I was charmed by the quirkiness of this skirt which looks like a shirt tied around
- [Affordable Teeth Whitening For Coffee Addicts + Giveaway](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/affordable-teeth-whitening-for-coffee-addicts/) - I've never been a morning person, so a swift intake of caffeine first thing is a necessity for me. As well as my morning coffee, I drink several cups of tea throughout the day. But there's a downside to my caffeine habit: teeth staining. Over the years I've tried several teeth whitening methods, from toothpastes to
- [Shades of Khaki With Red Accents + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/shades-of-khaki-with-red-accents-link-up/) - There are some fantastic sales on at the moment and I've treated myself to a (ahem) "few" new things. As the British summer is so fickle I was able to wear this khaki biker jacket earlier in the year than I expected. It's a beautifully soft fabric with a faux suede finish. I'm seriously thinking of buying
- [Last Night in Paris at the Terrasse Hotel Montmartre](https://www.style-splash.com/travel/last-night-paris-terrasse-hotel-montmarte/) - After our trip to Burgundy we returned to Paris for one last night. As well as staying in our favourite hotel we found ourselves back at Galeries Lafayette to exchange a broken toy we'd bought earlier in the week...it wasn't sabotage, honestly! Anyway, as we just had to go back we took the opportunity of popping up onto the roof
- [November Rain Poncho](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/november-rain-poncho/) - I do love Spring time...daffodils, blossom and lighter evenings make me feel happier and more energised. What I'm not so keen on though is April showers. In the North West, rain and wind seem to go together hand in hand, which makes umbrellas fairly useless. I think I've broken half a dozen brollies in the
- [Casual Red, White and Blue Outfit for a Day at Jodrell Bank](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/casual-red-white-and-blue-outfit-for-a-day-out-at-jodrell-bank/) - For days out that involve a lot of walking, boyfriend jeans and classic white tennis shoes is my go-to combination. I wore this casual red, white and blue outfit for a day out at Jodrell Bank over the Easter holidays. It's only a 20 minute car journey from where we live and it's a great day
- [Finding the Perfect Pink Coat + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/finding-perfect-pink-coat/) - A couple of years ago I had my heart set on finding the perfect pink coat. When I say perfect, I mean that it had to be pale pink, a simple design and not expensive. Despite searching online and trawling eBay to the point of obsessiveness I could not fine "the one". Eventually I got sidetracked
- [Colour Blocking Red and Pink With Lotus Shoes and Bag + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/colour-blocking-red-and-pink-with-lotus-shoes-and-bag/) - In contrast to last week's mostly black and white link up outfit, today I'm colour blocking red and pink with my new Lotus shoes and bag. Red and pink is one of those colour combinations that has been in and out of fashion over the years. I remember a time when I wouldn't have dreamed of
- [Jord Watch Review and Giveaway](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/jord-watch-review-and-giveaway/) - I spend a great deal of my time clock watching; when I'm getting my daughter ready for school in the morning I'm frequently checking to see if we're running late (we usually are). My job requires even more attention to the ticking of the clock - working in TV news means constantly working to deadlines.
- [Sequins and Glitter | How to add a little sparkle to your festive outfit](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/sequins-and-glitter-how-to-add-a-little-sparkle-to-your-festive-outfit/) - Nothing screams Christmas like sequins and glitter...not that I'm suggesting for one minute that you should confine them to the festive season! Sequin skirts must be very popular because I had to hunt high and low to find this one (which is now sold out but I've selected lots of alternatives at the bottom of the
- [Mummy and Me Outfit | Biker Jacket, Boots and Motif Sweater](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/mummy-and-me-outfit-biker-jacket-boots-and-motif-sweater/) - Whenever I do outfit photos for the blog it sparks interest from a certain small person, who tries to muscle in on the action. So, after she spied me looking at Sandy a la Mode's incredibly cute "Mommy and Me Style" photos Isobel suggested we try doing an outfit post together. As she has a faux leather biker
- [Leather Skirt and Statement Sleeves](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/leather-skirt-and-statement-sleeves/) - Statement sleeves are a really big trend at the moment and one that I love. I know big flappy sleeves are not the most practical things, especially if you're trying to eat a meal or play the guitar, but sometimes allowances have to be made in the name of fashion! The sleeves on this Zara top are
- [Neutrals With a Pop of Orange + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/neutrals-pop-orange-style-smile-link/) - As a lover of bright colours I don't often wear neutrals; I find they can make me look washed out. In general I feel much more comfortable in red, blue or green than beige, tan and cream. I often recall Sue Kreitzman's warning: "Don't wear beige, it might kill you". So it was with a little trepidation
- [Beaded Maxi Dress in Barbados + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/travel/beaded-maxi-dress-in-barbados/) - For today's Style With a Smile link up I'm reminiscing about a wonderful holiday from a few months ago.

- [Military Jacket and Studs + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/military-jacket-and-studs/) - Military style jackets and coats are a firm favourite of mine because they instantly elevate even the most basic of outfits. In my last post I wore a new embroidered military jacket from Zara, which reminded me that I had this one, also from Zara. I bought it about seven years ago when, in a post-baby haze,

Before I had time to open the email my laptop died - maybe it got
- [Leopard Print Waistcoat](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/leopard-print-waistcoat/) - I bought this leopard print waistcoat about a year ago from an online members only sale site (either Brand Alley or Secret Sales) and then promptly forgot all about it. That's what happens when you put five things on one coat hanger! I rediscovered it while going through some of the stuff in what I call

- [Long Weekend in Madrid](https://www.style-splash.com/travel/long-weekend-madrid/) - With the weather turning decidedly chilly it's bittersweet to look back at photos of trips to sunnier climes. I had intended to write this post weeks ago, but the photos were on several devices and technology hasn't been my best friend lately...well that, and also another trip abroad took my attention elsewhere! Anyway, let's rewind a
- [Shein Tribal Print Jacket](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/shein-tribal-print-jacket/) - A statement jacket is an incredibly useful item to have in your wardrobe. In a hurry in the morning?

At this time of year it's pretty safe to say that whatever you wear, at some point in the day you're going to be too hot/cold, so choosing an outfit
- [Firmoo Glasses Review](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/firmoo-glasses-review/) - I had been desperately in need of some new prescription glasses for a couple of years but I'd been putting off buying some because they are so expensive, especially when you need ultra thin lenses.

You spend 30 minutes gluing down lace, plucking the hairline, and melting the edges. From across the room? It looks great. But up close? One gust of wind or a tiny lift gives it away.

- [Living Room Makeovers That Survive Movie Nights and Pet Naps](https://www.style-splash.com/lifestyle/living-room-makeovers-that-survive-movie-nights-and-pet-naps/) - Living rooms take a beating. Friday movie marathons, Sunday afternoon pet naps, the daily shuffle of family life. Floors absorb all of it. The wear shows faster than expected, usually in the exact spots that matter most visually. Comfort and durability pull in opposite directions. Getting both right from the start determines whether a living

I bought them on holiday last year and wore them a lot on my recent trip to Madeira. They were washed, ironed and ready to pack away when I thought I'd wear one to
- [Desigual x Miranda Makaroff Shirt + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/desigual-x-miranda-makaroff-shirt-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - This week seems to have flown by! Having a Bank Holiday Monday and swapping a day at work has made it seem even shorter. Wednesday totally crept up on me and I realised I didn't have any photos! So, the post is a day later than planned. I bought these plissé trousers as part of

It's not quite warm enough for bare legs and sandals yet, but with a few styling tweaks it's easy to adapt this burgundy lace maxi dress for cooler temperatures. Like my other dresses from Izabel, this one fits

Silicone wedding rings for men have moved from a niche outdoor-gear category to a mainstream option that sits comfortably alongside the broader shift in
- [Steampunk Goggles: The Bold Fashion Accessory Defining Lifestyle Trends and Social Media Aesthetics ](https://www.style-splash.com/lifestyle/steampunk-goggles-the-bold-fashion-accessory-defining-lifestyle-trends-and-social-media-aesthetics/) - Once tied closely to niche subcultures and cosplay communities, steampunk goggles or steampunk glasses have now moved into a wider lifestyle space where fashion, identity, and visual storytelling intersect. On social media, in curated photoshoots, and even in casual streetwear, steampunk goggles are showing up as statement pieces. They suggest creativity, rebellion, and a refusal
- [Floral Print Midi Dress in Funchal + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/floral-print-midi-dress-in-funchal-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - On our last afternoon of the holiday, we treated ourselves to afternoon tea at the hotel across the road from the apartment. The Quinta Jardins do Lago is a rather impressive house, built in the 18th century. The surrounding gardens cover 2.5 hectares and contain more than 500 different species of plant. We first visited
- [Yellow Tweed Preloved Jacket and Blue Frill Trousers + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/yellow-tweed-preloved-jacket-and-blue-frill-trousers-link-up/) - At about this time of year I start to feel a little jaded, everything feels a bit stagnant. The height of Summer has passed but Autumn is still a few weeks away. It's a kind of limbo, but I don't want to wish the dying days of Summer away. This time next year Isobel will
- [Zara Black Lace Skirt and Next Geometric Print Jacket](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/zara-black-lace-skirt-and-next-geometric-print-jacket/) - When I bought this Zara black lace skirt in the January sales I wasn't sure how, when or where I was going to wear it. But despite that, I knew I had to have it all the same. I thought it might feel too unstructured for a night out, but the leather-look lace might be
- [Dressing for adventure in the great outdoors](https://www.style-splash.com/lifestyle/dressing-for-adventure-in-the-great-outdoors/) - I've lived in Cheshire for five and a half years now, but still have so much exploring to do. We often say we'll go on family walks at weekends, yet somehow we never seem to get our acts together and actually do it. Would you believe that this location is less than a mile away
- [Finery Grey Shirt Dress + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/finery-grey-shirt-dress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Happy Tuesday! I hope the week has got off to a great start for you. I'm super busy at work this week so will need all the coffee ;-) I'm counting the weeks until my next getaway to France in July...fingers crossed for good weather! This Finery grey shirt dress is my latest eBay purchase.
- [Festive Sparkle: Sequin Jacket and Boyfriend Jeans](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/festive-sparkle/) - Strictly Come Dancing may be over for another year but if you're already missing the showstopping outfits how about introducing a little festive sparkle into your wardrobe just in time for the party season? Think sequins, glitter and tassels...and not just for evening; you can work a little embellishment into your daytime outfit without looking over the
- [Dickins and Jones Navy Duffle Coat and Striped Bird Jumper](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/dickins-and-jones-navy-duffle-coat-and-striped-bird-jumper/) - Grabbing a bargain in the January sales is probably the best thing about (what is for me anyway) the most miserable month of the year. It's also the perfect opportunity to invest in a new winter coat because let's face it, UK winters can last well into April! A while ago I saw a navy wool coat
- [Clemens en August Dress and Charlotte Olympia Heels - Valentine's Day Outfit](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/valentines-day-outfit-clemens-en-august-dress/) - A classic black dress is the obvious choice for a Valentine's Day outfit, some might say a cliche even, but the LBD will never let you down. This Clements en August dress is a little bit different in that it has an unusual style of belt; it has those plastic clips that you find on
- [Lorraine Kelly for JD Williams Floral Print Scuba Jacket](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/lorraine-kelly-jd-williams-floral-print-scuba-jacket/) - It may not feel much like Spring at the moment but that didn't stop me dressing for it. I've been eager to wear this Lorraine Kelly for JD Williams floral print scuba jacket for weeks! It ticks all the boxes for Spring: it's floral print and lightweight. Plus, thanks to the soft blues and pinks I
- [Pink and Pleats | Asos Grey Pleated Maxi Skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pink-and-pleats-asos-grey-pleated-maxi-skirt/) - I've always found it difficult to define my style, and this outfit compared to the previous one demonstrates why. I've done a sartorial U-turn and gone from punk to pink, feisty to floaty, and loud to ladylike...is that too much alliteration? Anyway, I was in the mood for something softer and calmer...an outfit to put me
- [Nautical Chic | Breton Stripes and Asos Culottes](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/nautical-chic-breton-stripes-and-asos-culottes/) - Breton stripes are a wardrobe staple of mine, so where better to embrace the nautical chic look than an evening out in Brittany? This was the last night of our holiday so we ended it in style by going for a meal by the sea...just the two of us thanks to Grandad entertaining the little one.
- [Coco Chanel Tee and Asos Midi Skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/coco-chanel-tee-and-asos-midi-skirt/) - Wearing a fun t-shirt with a midi skirt is one of my favourite outfit combinations just lately. A quirky top worn with a ladylike full skirt makes for an interesting contrast. I first saw a top similar to this Coco Chanel t-shirt worn by the gorgeous Vale on her blog Fashion and Cookies (she is one of
- [White Shirt and Jeans With Leopard Print Accents](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/white-shirt-and-jeans-with-leopard-print-accents/) - A classic white shirt is one of those items that never goes out of fashion, it can be styled in so many ways: under a tank top with trousers for an androgynous look, with a pencil skirt, under dungarees, knotted at the front with a flared midi skirt, even under a strapless dress...the options are
- [Marks and Spencer Faux Fur Coat](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/marks-and-spencer-faux-fur-coat/) - When I saw this faux fur coat on the sale rail in Marks and Spencer I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. It's not like I don't already have a faux fur coat or three, but when you see one this gorgeous and it's reduced to less than £20 it's just not possible to walk
- [Tropical Print Top and Purple Trousers](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/tropical-print-top-and-purple-trousers/) - I thought I'd make the most of the mild autumnal weather by wearing a tropical print top and brightly coloured trousers...before the temperature nose dives. I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunites to wear tights and boots over the next few months! I've got these Asos peg leg trousers in several colours now, but purple
- [Asos Mustard Peg Leg Trousers](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/asos-mustard-peg-leg-trousers/) - I haven't been wearing skirts much lately - when I start work at 6.30am it's often quite chilly so trousers are the practical option, but rotating black and navy gets a bit boring, so opting for a pair of bright and colourful trousers makes a nice change. These mustard peg leg trousers are from Asos;
- [Engagement Pictures: Modern Pose Inspiration for Every Lifestyle and Occasion](https://www.style-splash.com/lifestyle/engagement-pictures-modern-pose-inspiration-for-every-lifestyle-and-occasion/) - Engagement shoots used to follow a predictable script. A park, a sunset, a few soft smiles, maybe a twirl if everyone was feeling ambitious. It looked nice, but it also looked just like everyone else’s photos. Now people want something that actually reflects their lives. Not just a milestone, but a snapshot of how they
- [Polka Dots For Spring - April's Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/polka-dots-for-spring-aprils-style-not-age/) - I couldn't help but notice the array of polka dot prints in the shops when I was on holiday. It doesn't seem that long ago that they were last trending, but then they're never really not in style. So, as it was my turn to choose a theme for April's Style Not Age, I thought
- [Summer Festival Capsule Wardrobe + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/summer-festival-capsule-wardrobe-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Festival season will soon be here and that means paying close attention to the weather and packing accordingly. It can be difficult to cover all bases, especially in the UK where the summer weather can be a bit of a lottery. You'll want to take hardworking, durable and comfortable pieces that are also stylish. Denim
- [Neon Lime and Pink + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/neon-lime-and-pink-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I'm counting down the days to my holiday now, I can't wait to relax in the sunshine. I, ahem, may have mentioned it once or twice before, but the weather has been spectacularly crap this summer - I actually put a thick jumper on yesterday! Today was warmer and sunnier, although I was at work
- [Leopard Print Trouser Suit + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-trouser-suit-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - A little while ago I decided I needed a leopard print trouser suit in my wardrobe and the January sales seemed like the perfect opportunity to bag a bargain. Once again, River Island came up trumps; it's one of my favourite high street retailers at the moment. Like a lot of brands, the sizing can
- [Double Trouble Denim - April's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/double-trouble-denim-aprils-thrifty-six/) - I've only recently started wearing jeans again. After years of bootcut and then skinny jeans, I simply fell out of love with them. That was until I bought these palazzo style jeans from Marks and Spencer. There was a lot of hype around them, and I can see why. They are soft, comfortable and flattering.
- [Rose Pink and Powder Blue + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/rose-pink-and-powder-blue-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - The sunny weather continues and I think I can safely pack my jumpers away. (Famous last words!) I love wearing pastel shades at this time of year and I finally got these trousers taken up after years of being stored away. I don't know why it took me so long, but I found a fantastic

On top of the usual festive frenetic activities, we've been giving Isobel's bedroom a makeover, I know what you're thinking - just before Christmas, are you mad? Well yes, we must be. Except, we had no other opportunity to do it. All the flat pack furniture

We are now a group of four since Gail decided to leave. Gail is still blogging though so you can stay up to date with what she's doing. Anna chose "Winter Woolies" for our January prompt. (The title made me giggle because my married
- [Lovely (Faux) Leather - February's Style Not Age Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/lovely-faux-leather-februarys-style-not-age/) - How was your weekend? For me it was one of two halves; Saturday was dry and sunny so we got some gardening done, whereas Sunday was dull and rainy and I didn't feel like doing much at all. This is the last week of meteorological winter and I'm heartily glad it's nearly over! It's my
- [The Thrifty Six in Hats](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-in-hats/) - Welcome to the first Thrifty Six instalment of 2025! It was Jodie's turn to set the theme this month and she chose The Thrifty Six in Hats. A good choice I think, especially for the type of weather January tends to throw at us. I always grab a hat when I'm heading out, whether it's
- [Cheap Frills - February's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/cheap-frills-februarys-thrifty-six/) - Who doesn't love cheap frills? I'm into frills of any kind, but the thrifty ones are the best! It was my turn to set this month's Thrifty Six theme, so that's what I chose. I found this blouse on Vinted last year. It's by the label Elsa.m by May, a brand I first discovered in
- [Green Sweatshirt and Jeans + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/green-sweatshirt-and-jeans-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I went so long without wearing jeans, and then like buses, two styles came along that are now part of my regular casual wardrobe. First the Marks and Spencer palazzo style, and then these barrel leg jeans. They make a change from joggers, which is what I often wear when I'm at home. Wearing an

I started the week with a scratchy throat and cold - just as the weather took a turn for the worse. The lovely sunshine has taken a hike and I had to dig out a thick jumper yesterday morning! I got up early because Isobel was meant to be
- [Pastel Green Trouser Suit + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/pastel-green-trouser-suit-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Pastels in spring might be as predictable as floral prints in spring (hardly ground breaking), but I wear both all year round. It's just that at this time of year there's more in the shops that I like. I found most of the winter collections on the high street underwhelming, to say the least. When
- [Purple Sparkly Frill Jumper + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/purple-sparkly-frill-jumper-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - As we come to the end of January I'm feeling relieved...it's my least favourite month and it always seems to drag. Now spring is in sight and it's staying lighter for longer. I do hope we'll see more colourful fashion in the shops because the last few times I've been to Zara and the like
- [Christmas 2024 Gift Guide + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/lifestyle/christmas-2024-gift-guide-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Well, isn't December just flying by! With only a week until Christmas, now's the time to order any gifts you still need to buy. Every year it seems to creep up on me - one minute it's November, the next it's Christmas Eve! If you're a last minute shopper like me, I've rounded up some

As you can imagine, I was delighted to receive this stunning orange kimono robe with the most amazing sleeves! (You can see an unboxing reel on Instagram.) Although it was cold, I wanted
- [A Classic Outfit For a Classic Watch + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/a-classic-outfit-for-a-classic-watch-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Hello friends, I hope you're week is going well. We have milder weather currently after a few very cold days. I managed to slip over on the ice last week and bash my knee...landing face down in the gutter at 8am was not a dignified way to start the day! However, it ended on a
- [December is For Dressing Up - Style Not Age Festive Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/december-is-for-dressing-up-style-not-age-festive-challenge/) - Merry Christmas! I hope you're all having a wonderful day. It's unusual for me to be posting on Christmas Day, but it just happened that it fell on the last Monday of the month, which is when we post our Style Not Age challenge. We all agreed to go ahead rather than skip or reschedule
- [Festive Green and Red Outfit + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/festive-green-and-red-outfit-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I hope you all has a fantastic Christmas! Mine was spent at home with family. My mum was able to come this year after spending last Christmas and New Year in hospital, which was lovely. We are planning a little party with friends for New Year's Eve, so I will be busy making preparations for
- [Mustard Knitted Vest and Green Cords + Style With a Style Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/mustard-knitted-vest-and-green-cords-style-with-a-style-link-up/) - Wowsers, it's so windy! Storm Jocelyn is certainly making her presence felt! I'm a bit reluctant to peep outside to see what's happened to the bins and my bird feeders. I had the foresight to get these photos done at the weekend before the previous storm blew through. We actually got off quite lightly with
- [Red Alert! January Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-alert-january-style-not-age/) - Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. It's the last Monday of the month...finally. January really does drag, doesn't it? It feels more like two months since Christmas. Jacqui chose the theme of Red Alert! for January's Style Not Age theme. Red is never not on trend (well, in my opinion anyway!) but
- [April Showers - Style Not Age Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/april-showers-style-not-age-challenge/) - Happy Monday! Hilda chose this month's Style Not Age theme of April Showers - and we've certainly had no shortage of those! A trench coat and hat were the first items that came to mind for this prompt.

- [Red and Purple Striped Co-ord + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-and-purple-striped-co-ord-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - As the new season gets underway I'm sharing the last of my holiday outfits. I actually bought this red and purple striped co-ord from my favourite shop while I was there. When I first saw it I was unsure if it would suit me as the top is cropped and elasticated. I couldn't resist trying
- [Rust Shirt Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/rust-shirt-dress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - In the run up to my holiday in July, I had been on a mission to find a summer maxi dress in this colour. I trawled eBay and Vinted, as well as retail websites, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. (I did buy a lovely chocolate brown max dress on Vinted which I
- [Leopard Print and Orange + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-and-orange-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I've said before how I can't resist an orange frill top and the same applies to statement sleeves (even better if they also happen to be orange!). I spotted this top on Vinted and it looked like my mint green jumper with sheer sleeves that I wear I lot. It was only £5 (plus postage)
- [Inspired By Autumn Colours - November's Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/inspired-by-autumn-novembers-style-not-age/) - It's the last Monday of the month (already!) which means it's time for another Style Not Age challenge. It was Hilda's turn to set the prompt for November and she chose "Inspired By Autumn". When I think of autumn (or fall) colours, deep oranges, reds, greens and browns come to mind. Unusually for me I
- [Purple and Green Frills + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/purple-and-green-frills-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - How's your week going so far? Have you been shopping the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales? I've been fairly restrained and only bought a few things for the house and some nail polish! I find it a bit overwhelming with the onslaught of marketing emails. It pays to be discerning with the sales and only buy
- [Flower Cardigan and Flares + Style With a Smile Link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/flower-cardigan-and-flares-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Whether you live on this side of the Atlantic or the other, I'm sure a lot of you are wondering what the hell just happened and where it all leaves us now. At times like these I find it's good to just turn the news off and occupy myself doing something else, something constructive. The
- [Retro Floral Print Maxi Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/retro-floral-print-maxi-dress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - It's hard to believe this was only a month ago, it seems like much longer. Despite Madeira being a relatively small island, we always find something new to do and visiting Monte Palace Garden had been on our list for a few years. On our last trip we spent an afternoon at the Madeira Botanical

I hear the weather is pretty warm back home too. We took these photos a couple of days ago when it was quite overcast, although still hot and muggy. Obviously I had to visit my favourite shop, Dona Hortensia, while we were walking around Funchal. Actually, I'd already
- [Neon Orange Trouser Suit + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/neon-orange-trouser-suit-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - It's been a while since I last wore an orange outfit so I had to put that right! I previously wore this suit with a darker print blouse and a navy bag. That was in December, but this is a more summery way to wear it. This neon orange trouser suit will never blend into
- [Burgundy Trouser Suit + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/burgundy-trouser-suit-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - You know I'm addicted to trouser suits, so when I discovered there were matching trousers for this jacket I hunted them down! It wasn't an easy quest to find them in my size as they were sold out at most retailers. They came back in stock at Debenhams so I ordered the 10 but they
- [Citrus Spring Hues + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/citrus-spring-hues-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - If you were wondering why I didn't post the link up yesterday, basically it was the weather's fault! It tipped it down with rain and hail most of the day, only drying up as the light went. Typical. Today was a much better day, which gave me the motivation to put some nice clothes on,

This pink lipstick print blazer had been on my favourites list for a couple of weeks; I kept going back to it debating whether to buy it or not.

- [Jungle Animals Kimono Robe + Style With a Style Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/jungle-animals-kimono-robe-style-with-a-style-link-up/) - It's that time of year when temperatures can fluctuate throughout the day, and if (like me) you're riding the perimenopause rollercoaster, well that adds another dimension. I find myself changing tops, putting on/taking off cardigans frequently. The solution, I've found, is light layers. I love how versatile this jungle animals kimono robe is A silk
- [Yellow Faux Fur Coat + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/yellow-faux-fur-coat-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - The decorations are gone and January is already living up to its reputation as being a difficult month; my mum moved in with us last week but after only a few days she's back in hospital. It's not serious, but certainly not the start we'd hoped for. We're hoping she'll be back home with us
- [Green and Bubblegum Pink + Style With a Style Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/green-and-bubblegum-pink-style-with-a-style-link-up/) - I've been back in the office but keeping the holiday memories going with a couple of purchases from Madeira.

Fortunately, there's a branch at Funchal airport, which is where I bought this fun ticket print shirt.
- [Green Embellished Denim Jacket and Rainbow Striped Top + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/green-embellished-denim-jacket-and-rainbow-striped-top-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I said in Monday's post that I'd bought something on holiday that would've been perfect for the Jeans and Jewels challenge. Well, this green embellished denim jacket was what I was referring to. I appreciate it's not everyone's cup of tea (including Isobel, who rolled her eyes when I decided to travel home in it),
- [Absurdity Day - November's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/absurdity-day-novembers-thrifty-six/) - Happy Monday! I hope your week has got off to a good start. Did you know that today is National Absurdity Day? No, neither did I until Shelbee told us that was the theme for November's Thrifty Six post. I didn't even know there was such a thing! Not surprisingly, it's a day all about

Most of the collection has sold out but you can regularly find pieces pop up on eBay and Vinted. (I've linked to some in the widget below). A month or so ago, I was surprised to find some pieces from the

We're enjoying a mini heatwave in the UK, which is very welcome given the exceptionally wet summer we had. I've been gardening and spending as much time as possible outdoors; it's important to get that vitamin D...with SPF50 on of course! Which brings me on to skincare and new beauty

The Thrifty Six are back, and today we are wearing the zodiac! I used to read my horoscope every day but now I don't pay so much attention to astrology.

I am not a Taylor Swift fan (I don't mind some of her songs, but I'm more into rock music) so I was flummoxed with this theme. After searching Pinterest I found some ideas and got a feel for

When I found this one on Vinted for a bargain price I couldn't resist it.

A last minute break in the sun was just what we needed and we've been very lucky with the weather. Last week it was stormy here but that passed just in time for our arrival.

In yesterday's Style Not Age post I wore the pink version of this top. I bought them from my favourite shop in Funchal - Dona Hortensia - that always has something I can't resist. For about 25 euros they were excellent value for money. I don't wear much black lately

But if it's stunning views of a rugged coastline you're after the Atlantic East coast is well worth a visit. When we got married on the island in 2010 we had a meal at The Edgewater Inn, which

Well, I seem to have taken it a step further by wearing the same outfit AND accessories in the same place! I wore this orange maxi dress, hat, sunglasses and sandals in the Museu Quinta Das Cruzes last October. In fact,

I always find January the toughest month - it feels way longer than 31 days! The weather has been dreadful, so rainy and grey. This is when colourful clothes come to the rescue! You've probably heard of the term "dopamine dressing", which refers to actively choosing to wear clothes

I do miss the sunshine and the all inclusive buffet! Having to prepare my own salad and vegetables seems a bit of a bind in comparison...that's if you're lucky enough to find some in the shops! Tomatoes are particularly scarce at the moment; apparently poor weather in

I was working in Birmingham yesterday so I was up early to catch the train. The weather was dry and bright so I went for a walk around the shops in my lunch break. The German market was certainly popular as it was heaving. Miraculously I didn't buy anything,
- [Tickled Pink - The Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/tickled-pink-the-thrifty-six/) - Sometimes the themes chosen by my fellow bloggers in the various groups I'm in leave me scratching my head - this one was a breeze though!

They are great for those days when you don't know what to wear (or are in a hurry). Plus, they provide plenty of styling options when worn as separates. I bought this green and paisley co-ord in Zara on a recent trip to the Trafford Centre in Manchester. Isobel

Firstly, I thought maybe I already had enough 70s-style floral prints (is that even possible?). Secondly, it was a brand I hadn't bought from before, and while that doesn't usually deter me,

Bizarrely, this week already seems very long and we're not even half way through it yet. I've had all sorts of technical problems, including getting locked out of my blog dashboard.

- [Tan Cord Dungarees and Vintage Shirt + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/tan-cord-dungarees-and-vintage-shirt-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Dungarees are not everyone's cup of tea. I've admired them on others for ages but until now haven't been brave enough to try them, which is odd given how much I love jumpsuits; that extra bit of fabric seems to make all the difference! Anyway, not one to shy away from taking a sartorial risk,
- [Let's Sparkle and Shine! December's Stylish Monday Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/lets-sparkle-and-shine-decembers-stylish-monday-link-up/) - Christmas is just around the corner now...that crept up so quickly! I still have to send out my Christmas cards and buy a few more presents yet. This year will be a quiet one with just the three of us, but I'm not taking that as an excuse to slob out in PJs all day.
- [Zebra Print and Houndstooth With Bright Pink + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/zebra-print-and-houndstooth-with-bright-pink-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - This last week I've been trying to tidy up and get organised for Christmas (easier said than done!). Even though it will just be the three of us I want to make the house look nice so I can just relax for Christmas and Boxing Day. When I finally forced myself to tackle the clothes

Are you all ready? I'm not quite there yet - just a few last minute presents and food shopping to get.

- [Fabienne Chapot Alien Print Shirt + Style With a Style Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/fabienne-chapot-alien-print-shirt-style-with-a-style-link-up/) - The garden looks a bit different than this today - we woke up to snow yesterday and even more this morning! We managed to make a very small snowman but he's already looking a bit worse for wear...his nose fell of within minutes! I expect that by tomorrow everywhere will just be a sludgy mess.
- [Chic and Cozy Coats - January's Stylish Monday Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/chic-and-cozy-coats-januarys-stylish-monday-link-up/) - Welcome to January's Stylish Monday link up! It's been very cold here in the UK, so this month's theme of chic and cozy coats couldn't have been more appropriate. We rarely get snow in my part of the world, but we've had several dustings since Christmas and some hard frosts. I would much rather have
- [Duck Print Cotton Shirt + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/duck-print-cotton-shirt-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I'm sure you all know how much I love bold and quirky prints...especially if they feature animals. When Salamander Shirts asked me if I'd like to review their shirts I was delighted! They kindly sent me three, including the button print shirt from few weeks ago, and this fabulous duck print shirt. I will be
- [Head to Toe Polka Dots + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/head-to-toe-polka-dots-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I've featured a few polka dot outfits lately, and I feel like they've been building up to this crescendo!

There's always
- [A Windswept Gothic Romance - October's Style Not Age Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/a-windswept-gothic-romance-octobers-style-not-age/) - It's not often you'll see me wear head to toe black. As a teenager it was pretty much the only (non) colour I wore, but I've grown increasingly confident with colours and bold patterns as I've got older.

- [Red Velvet Jacket and Boots + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-velvet-jacket-and-boots-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Every winter I love digging out my velvet jackets and boots, it's such a sumptuous fabric and soft to the touch. I think I own about six velvet jackets - all preloved. I've found some incredible bargains in charity shops (the black one I wore to a wedding only cost a couple of pounds!). This
- [Orange Paisley Shirt Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/orange-paisley-shirt-dress/) - While I was looking for some '70s style inspiration for last week's post I came across some fabulous paisley shirts. Well, that ended up in me disappearing down another eBay rabbit hole! I saw an orange paisley shirt dress, which looked great with a wide tan belt on the mannequin. However, it was a size

Rushing to and from work, ferrying the kids around, trying to fit in all the errands, have a social life...and find time for exercise, often leaves us exhausted. All of this is made much worse if

I was at my mum's for half term and got back yesterday. Obviously we couldn't go trick or treating, but then we don't anyway so we didn't feel like we were missing out. I did Isobel's makeup and I was quite pleased
- [Navy and White Polka Dot Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/navy-and-white-polka-dot-dress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - It's been ages since I last wore this navy and white polka dot dress, which is a shame because it's a great fit and so comfortable. I wanted to make the most of the early autumn sunshine by wearing a dress and sandals before the cold weather really sets in. (It was cool enough for
- [Black Faux Leather Puff Sleeves and Khaki Trousers + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-faux-leather-puff-sleeves-and-khaki-trousers-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I hope you're all staying safe and well. We've had such a lot of rain this last week that I may need a kayak if it doesn't stop soon! I'm glad I got these photos done before the deluge started. This is an outfit I wore to work recently, although I've swapped sandals for peep
- [The Thrifty Six are Vested!](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-are-vested/) - This is the last Thrifty Six challenge of 2025...the year has gone so quickly! Sally chose the theme of Vested to see the year out. My immediate thoughts were of sleeveless T-shirts or the crochet vests that I've featured here before. But the term vest means different things depending on where you are in the
- [How to Style Different Necklines - March Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/how-to-style-different-necklines-march-thrifty-six/) - It was Jodie's turn to set the theme for this month's Thrifty Six challenge and she chose necklines. I took it as an opportunity to challenge myself with a different shape to my preferred style of jacket. We've all taken our own approach on how to style different necklines, which I love. Collarless jackets seem
- [Bronzed and Brown - September's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bronzed-and-brown-septembers-thrifty-six/) - Welcome to September's instalment of The Thrifty Six. We are a group of international fashion influencers who meet once a month online to share our thrifty outfits.

- [The Thrifty Six in Lace Skirts](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-in-lace-skirts/) - When Nancy set us the theme of lace skirts for this month's Thrifty Six installment I was left pondering how I'd tackle this theme. I don’t own many lace pieces, and those that I do are not pre-loved. That got me thinking about autumn/winter updates and looking for inspo on Pinterest. Burgundy is a big
- [The Thrifty Six in Chiffon](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-in-chiffon/) - For this month's Thrifty Six installment, Jane chose chiffon. At first, I thought I would have to choose a scarf because I couldn't think of anything chiffon in my wardrobe. In fact, I wasn't even sure what actually qualifies as chiffon; I have plenty of clothes made of thin, lightweight fabrics, but they might technically
- [The Thrifty Six in Faux Fur](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-in-faux-fur/) - It was my turn to set the theme for this month's Thrifty Six instalment and I couldn't miss the opportunity to wear a faux fur coat!

- [Styling Romance For February - The Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/styling-romance-for-february-the-thrifty-six/) - The Thrifty Six are styling romance for February! Jane chose the theme because Valentine's Day is her favourite day of the year. I went to a friend's for a Galentine's evening, which was a lot of fun. Our kids have grown up together, from the first day of primary school to college. How they've changed!
- [Put a Belt On It - April's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/put-a-belt-on-it-aprils-thrifty-six/) - Belts are probably the most neglected accessory in my wardrobe. It's not that I don't like them, I just don't factor them into an outfit very often. When I do wear a one, it's usually a wide, waist-cinching belt. Skinny belts on jeans are just another thing to have to undo when going to the
- [Pre-loved Jumpsuits and Rompers - August's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pre-loved-jumpsuits-and-rompers-augusts-thrifty-six/) - The Thrifty Six are back with more pre-loved outfits! Grace chose this month's theme of jumpsuits and rompers. I only have a couple of second hand jumpsuits, both you've probably seen before. I found this orange jumpsuit in a charity shop a while back for only £6! It fits perfectly and is so comfortable. I've

We've had some lovely early autumn sunshine, but I don't think that's going to last much longer. The countdown is on to the holiday next month...fingers crossed none of us catches Covid! If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen on my stories
- [My Thrifted Favourites - March Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/my-thrifted-favourites-march-thrifty-six/) - How was your weekend? I hope your week has got off to a good start. As it's the third Monday of the month it's time for another Thrifty Six challenge. Jane chose the theme of thrifted favourites, so a fairly broad scope - especially as I have so many favourite thrifted pieces! I thought about
- [Raining Cats and Dogs - The Thrifty Six March Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/raining-cats-and-dogs-the-thrifty-six-march-challenge/) - Nancy chose this month's theme of "Raining Cats and Dogs". Well, one thing we definitely have no shortage of in the UK is rain! In fact, I had to do these photos in between torrential downpours. Maybe it would have been more appropriate to take them in the rain, but that wouldn't have been good

- [Styling the European Summer Trend - August's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/styling-the-european-summer-trend-augusts-thrifty-six/) - I'm not usually one to jump on a TikTok trend, but I thought this one would be fun to dive into for August's Thrifty Six theme. Styling the European Summer trend can be interpreted in different ways, and I love how we've all put our own twist on it. According to Refinery29 the "European Summer"
- [Animal Print But Not Leopard - October's Thrifty Six Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/animal-print-but-not-leopard-octobers-thrifty-six-challenge/) - Happy new week! How was your weekend? Mine was fairly busy as we got the keys to mum's bungalow just over a week ago but she can't move in until it's decorated and some new furniture has arrived. We're moving stuff from the storage unit bit by bit, gradually it's taking shape. I worked three
- [Crochet Revival - May's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/crochet-revival-mays-thrifty-six/) - Happy new week! I hope you all had a great weekend. We watched the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night - it was crazy and flamboyant as always! I can never predict the winner, other than it won't be the UK! Jane chose May's Thrifty Six theme of Crochet Revival. Although it's on trend this
- [Bloom Where You Are Planted - July's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bloom-where-you-are-planted-julys-thrifty-six/) - Before talking about the outfit, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for all your lovely messages following mum's passing. It's a weird and sad time, but the love and support from you means so much. I haven't been on Instagram much over the last couple of weeks, but I'm easing myself back
- [The Thrifty Six are "Unbuttoned"](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-are-unbuttoned/) - It was Shelbee's turn to set the theme for this month's Thrifty Six challenge and she chose "Unbuttoned". I was glad of an easy one with everything else going on. Wearing a shirt dress as a duster was the first thing that came to mind. This dress works well worn unbuttoned because it has a
- [The Thrifty Six are Inspired by Gucci](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/the-thrifty-six-are-inspired-by-gucci/) - It was my turn to choose a theme for this month's Thrifty Six challenge, and I was quite ambitious with this one! After trying to think of something different to the other themes we've done, the idea of "Inspired by Gucci" came from Pinterest. (I have a board dedicated solely to Gucci.) The algorithm certainly
- [Boho Summer Style - June's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/boho-summer-style-junes-thrifty-six/) - Happy summer solstice! Are you enjoying the lighter evenings? I love this time of year when I can sit outside as the sun sets, watching the bats circling overhead. The word solstice is derived from the Latin words sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still) because the sun appears to stand still at this time
- [On Screen Style Icons - April's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/on-screen-style-icons-aprils-thrifty-six/) - I really struggled with this month's theme – probably because I don’t watch many films. Grace chose the prompt of On Screen Style Icons, which left me completely baffled. Maybe I over thought it (no maybe about it!). My first idea was Carrie Bradshaw, but none of my outfit choices for her were preloved. Then,
- [The Long and Short of It - May's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-long-and-short-of-it-mays-thrifty-six/) - Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. On Saturday evening I watched the Eurovision Song Contest with a couple of mojitos. I was working Sunday morning, then I drove to my mum's later in the day. The weather has been quite warm - I don't know why I'm surprised by that...it is
- [The Thrifty Six in Wintergreen](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-in-wintergreen/) - The Thrifty Six in Wintergreen is our final instalment of the year. 2024 has flown by!

I find wearing green in the depths of winter uplifting

Welcome to the March edition of The Thrifty Six. I hope you had a good weekend. This month it was Shelbee's turn to set the theme and she chose speckles, spots and polka dots. This was actually quite a difficult challenge for me - despite my extensive wardrobe! I don't own many clothes
- [Nautical Style - June's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/nautical-style-junes-thrifty-six/) - Ahoy there! The Thrifty Six are showcasing nautical style for June's challenge. Unsurprisingly, the combination of navy and white dominates our outfits. I was a bit stuck for ideas at first, until I remembered these sailor style trousers. My only problem was finding them as I'd packed them away in a case. After almost a

It's time for October's instalment of The Thrifty Six, and it was my turn to set the theme this month.

- [New Year's Eve Outfits - December's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/new-years-eve-outfits-decembers-thrifty-six/) - Are you all ready for the festivities? I did my last shift at work for a couple of weeks yesterday and enjoyed not having to set an alarm for the first time in weeks! On Christmas Eve I'll drive to my mum's to bring her to our place for a couple of days. Her dialysis
- [Bold Monochrome Outfits - March Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bold-monochrome-outfits-march-thrifty-six/) - I'm back home after a wonderful holiday in Barbados...I really didn't want to leave there! I could get used to the hot weather and easy pace of living. It was so nice to not have to set an alarm or worry about time. For the first time in over five years I missed my weekly
- [Dressed For a Garden Party - July's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/dressed-for-a-garden-party-julys-thrifty-six/) - Holy moly it's hot here in the UK right now! Temperatures have hit the high 30s in the North West and could reach 42c in the East tomorrow! That's Abu Dhabi temperatures! It is actually quite concerning and maybe a glimpse of what's to come if the planet continues to heat up. Unlike countries that
- [Tribute to Vivienne Westwood - January's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/tribute-to-vivienne-westwood-januarys-thrifty-six/) - When I heard about the death of Vivienne Westwood I was really shocked and saddened. Although she was 81 her energy and drive belied her age. She was a true icon of British fashion, having been instrumental in bringing punk into mainstream fashion. Her store SEX (co-founded with Malcolm McLaren) was the hub of punk
- [Wearing Summer Colours in Winter - February's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/wearing-summer-colours-in-winter-februarys-thrifty-six/) - Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I'm currently in Agadir, taking advantage of a child-free week. Isobel is skiing in Northern Italy with the school so we booked a last minute break.

- [The Thrifty Six are Wearing Metallics](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-are-wearing-metallics/) - The metallics trend emerged in autumn with silver trousers being everywhere on social media. I was tempted to dive in and get some, but I doubted I'd get enough wear out of them. In any case, I'm more drawn to warm metallic hues, particularly gold. I bought this vintage 1950s jacket on eBay ages ago
- [Winter Whites - February's Thrifty Six Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/winter-whites-februarys-thrifty-six-challenge/) - This month's Thrifty Six theme of Winter Whites was certainly a challenge for me! I avoid wearing white even more than black, unless it's in a pattern. And I especially steer clear of preloved white garments because of possible stains and greying. So, when Jodie sent us February's prompt I wondered what on earth I
- [Denim Days - April's Thrifty Six Challenge](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/denim-days-aprils-thrifty-six-challenge/) - Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. The weather has been all over the place these last few days - typical April weather I suppose. We even had thunder and lightning in the early hours of this morning. Fortunately, there was a break in the rain long enough to take these photos over
- [The Thrifty Six in Summer Layers](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/the-thrifty-six-in-summer-layers/) - When I heard that the theme of this month's Thrifty Six post was Summer Layers I initially thought of wafty kimonos and crochet waistcoats. But this is the UK and the weather has been awful so far this summer. I'm rarely without a cardigan and/or a raincoat lately. I've bought a few lovely cardigans on
- [Creative Cover Ups - July's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/creative-cover-ups-julys-thrifty-six/) - Welcome to another instalment from the Thrifty Six! This month's theme is creative cover ups. Originally Lucy chose kimonos and kaftans, but we decided to broaden the theme to include jackets too because not all of us have preloved kimonos or kaftans. They just don't seem to be as popular in Europe as they are
- [Fool's Gold - August's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/fools-gold-augusts-thrifty-six/) - It was Nancy's turn to set the theme of August's Thrifty Six challenge, and she chose "Fool's Gold". I was really stuck for something gold that's preloved - which surprised me given how much stuff I buy second hand. But then I remembered this gold sequin dress that I bought on eBay a couple of
- [Inspired By Travel - September's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/inspired-by-travel-septembers-thrifty-six/) - For this month's Thrifty Six post, Jane chose outfits inspired by travel. Well, I've certainly done a fair bit of travelling over the last 10 days or so - Birmingham, London, Manchester, Salford and Peterborough - which meant I had no time to take photos especially for this theme. However, I remembered that I had
- [Autumn Outerwear - October's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/autumn-outerwear-octobers-thrifty-six/) - Happy Monday! This month's Thrifty Six theme of Autumn Outerwear was chosen by Lucy. Coats and jackets are my favourite items of clothing to buy second hand; consequently I've built up quite a collection over the years. I have coats in every colour of the rainbow and more. A brightly-coloured coat can instantly transform an
- [We Are Not Angry Birds - November's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/we-are-not-angry-birds-novembers-thrifty-six/) - We Are Not Angry Birds...there's blog post title I never thought I'd write! Nancy really threw us a curveball with this challenge! At first, I searched through my blog archives to see if I had something preloved with a bird print, but I couldn't find anything. Then my mind turned to feathers and I remembered
- [Feels Like Home - December's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/feels-like-home-decembers-thrifty-six/) - When Shelbee sent us the prompt of "Feels Like Home", I immediately thought of my childhood, and the patterns and colours of the 70s. I remember orange and brown featuring heavily in our house, which is probably why I love these colours together. There is still an orange wooden chair at my mum's - it's

- [We Are Trail "Blazers" - March Thrifty Six Collaboration](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/we-are-trail-blazers-march-thrifty-six-collaboration/) - Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. It was Mother's Day here in the UK yesterday and I woke up to flowers and a beautiful handmade card. When I got home from work there was another little gift waiting for me (some perfume and body lotion) and then I slept all afternoon!
- [Step Back in Time - April's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/step-back-in-time-aprils-thrifty-six/) - For this month's Thrifty Six blogger collaboration, it fell to me to set the theme. I've been participating in various blogger groups for a number of years now and inevitably it gets harder to choose a theme that we haven't covered before. Whenever I'm stuck for inspiration I think about what I'm really enjoying wearing
- [Wearing Pre-loved Floral Prints - May's Thrifty Six](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/wearing-pre-loved-floral-prints-mays-thrifty-six/) - Happy Monday! I hope you had a good weekend. This month, the Thrifty Six are wearing pre-loved floral prints. My dress is from...you guessed it...eBay! Another vintage treasure I found on my favourite resale platform. The brown and orange print really drew me to it, and when the seller offered me a lower price than
- [Black Split Sleeve Jumpsuit With Silver Accessories](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-split-sleeve-jumpsuit-with-silver-accessories/) - Hello, I hope you've all been having a great week! I mentioned in my last post that I had two more jumpsuits to show you. This black split sleeve jumpsuit is very similar to the red one in terms of fit and fabric. A bright red jumpsuit might not be everyone's cup of tea, but
- [Black One Shoulder Jumpsuit With Red Accessories + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-one-shoulder-jumpsuit-with-red-accessories-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Hello, I hope your week has got off to a good start! I'd like to say that mine has but I've been battling with tech problems working from home. Isn't it frustrating when things stop working and you don't know why? Anyway, I think it's all sorted out now (fingers crossed). Just in case you
- [My Signature Colour: Red - July's Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/my-signature-colour-red-julys-style-not-age/) - Welcome to the latest instalment of Style Not Age! It's hard to believe that we're at the end of July already...Summer is just flying by. This month Hilda set the theme of "My Signature Colour". It probably comes as no surprise that I chose red! I naturally gravitate towards red, orange, yellow and green when
- [Essential Antwerp Shirt Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/essential-antwerp-shirt-dress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Loose, flowing clothes are the order of the day when it's hot and humid. Yesterday I featured a new maxi dress from Twisted Wunder that's perfect for holidays and garden parties...or maybe just relaxing in the garden with a glass of something cold. When it comes to more office-appropriate options for Summer I don't think
- [Sizzlin' Summer Style - Stylish Monday Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/sizzlin-summer-style-stylish-monday-link-up/) - This month's Stylish Monday theme of Sizzlin' Summer Style is certainly very appropriate for the weather in the UK; it's been unusually hot for August, meaning I can wear my holiday clothes even though I'm not going anywhere. Well, certainly not abroad...these photos were taken in my mum's garden by Isobel, my little blog assistant.
- [Emerald Green and Gingham + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/emerald-green-and-gingham-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - When I spotted this dress on sale I couldn't resist it, even though I don't have anywhere to go in it. But then that's never stopped me buying something I love! A classic midi dress is a wardrobe hero though, so I don't feel guilty about buying it, especially as it was reduced from £149
- [What I'd Wear on the Frow - August's Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/what-id-wear-on-the-frow-augusts-style-not-age/) - Before Covid, this time of year would be an exciting time in the fashion industry. The September fashion shows are an opportunity for influencers and celebrities to be seen in all their finery while watching the new collections. I have to confess that I'm much more interested in the street style photos than what the

Having to get up early for the school run is taking some getting used to, and it's only going to get harder as we approach Winter. I keep watching A Place in the Sun and wishing I could escape to somewhere warm...preferably on a permanent

Rust, cinnamon, ochre and olive look glorious in the early autumn sunshine. This yellow and burnt orange combination captures the warmth and vibrancy of this time of year when the sun is hot but the leaves are starting to turn.
- [Lemon Print Midi Dress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/lemon-print-midi-dress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - It's hard to believe it's September already! This Summer has absolutely flown by and tomorrow Isobel starts high school. We've spent the morning doing a trial bus run, although I think we'll drive for the first couple of weeks. We took advantage of the nice weather by going for lunch afterwards, which was lovely apart

I especially look forward to treating myself to something from Scotch & Soda, one of my favourite brands. Last year I bought a trouser and top co-ord in a fabulous print featuring flowers and animals. This year I bought
- [Red One Shoulder Jumpsuit With Leopard Print Accessories + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-one-shoulder-jumpsuit-with-leopard-print-accessories-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Hello, I hope you're all keeping well! You remember that in last week's post I wore a trouser and top co-ord that looks like a jumpsuit. I mentioned how much easier a co-ord is when it comes to using the bathroom...well, this jumpsuit is every bit as convenient! The soft stretchy fabric makes it so
- [Mixing Shades of Purple With Beige Cargo Trousers](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/mixing-shades-of-purple-with-beige-cargo-trousers/) - Dress down Fridays aren't really a thing anymore are they? Covid has turned that on its head with people working from home now doing dress up Fridays instead. When I'm actually in work, I want to be comfortable while still looking put together. That's pretty much my requirement for any day of the week. Pairing

This month we're styling our colourful kimonos for Summer! We're having some gorgeous weather here in the UK, so I've been digging out my holiday clothes.

- [Lilac and Golden Yellow + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/lilac-and-golden-yellow-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - The spell of glorious weather we've been enjoying is set to come to an end tomorrow, so I'll be back to outfits like this one. Although I do love warm, sunny weather, it kills my motivation to workout because I just can't exercise in the heat. I'll still be wearing Summery colours though, even if
- [Soft Grey and Mint Green + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/soft-grey-and-mint-green-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Hello, I hope you're all doing well! I had a relaxing weekend doing not very much! Yesterday I had a hospital appointment with an orthapaedic surgeon about my bunions; it seems surgery is inevitable if I want to be rid of the pain. It may not be until next year due to Covid, but it's
- [Scotch & Soda Safari Shirt and Jeans](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/scotch-soda-safari-shirt/) - Regular readers will know that I'm a big fan of the-Bias-Cut.com (I even modelled for the website a couple of years ago). I've bought some of my favourite items of clothing from this fabulous online boutique, so I can't resist treating myself to something when there's a sale on. I absolutely love animal print and
- [Fabienne Chapot Peach Print Skirt + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/fabienne-chapot-peach-print-skirt-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - When Fabienne Chapot brought out the peach print range last year I was all over it...literally ;-) My first peachy purchase was the shirt dress from the-Bias-Cut.com. To compliment it I bought the gorgeous round straw bag with matching peach print direct from the brand's website. Then recently I started browsing Depop, a resale app
- [A Cat-Themed Outfit and My New Kitty Socks](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/a-cat-themed-outfit-and-my-new-kitty-socks/) - I'm sure you all know how much I love animals, none more so than my gorgeous Henry :-) He's a mature gentleman now, missing a few teeth but still as handsome as ever. We joke about how he's the lord of the manor, with his many demands for fuss, food and opening of doors! I
- [Orange You Excited For Halloween? - October's Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/orange-you-excited-for-halloween-octobers-style-not-age/) - The last day of October already! We saw the month out with a lovely half term break in Funchal, arriving home in the early hours of Saturday morning. On Friday we took a walk from the apartment to Sao Tiago Fort and the gardens of the Quinta das Cruzes Museum. It was my last chance
- [Bright Orange and Gold + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bright-orange-and-gold-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - Hello, I hope you all had a good weekend! My orange obsession continues...maybe there's somehing in it. According to this website orange "stimulates enthusiasm, humor and laughter." It goes on to describe it as "a wonderful aid against depression and it also builds confidence and courage." I guess we could all do with more of

This week is half term and we should have been in Madeira. Instead I'm working and trying not to think about sunbathing at the Lido in Funchal! We've booked a holiday to Barbados for next Easter, but that's almost a year away...it's going to be a long Winter! Oh
- [Yellow Belted Midi Dress With Green Accessories + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/yellow-belted-midi-dress-with-green-accessories/) - Last week I opened a suitcase containing my Summer clothes and found this yellow belted midi dress that I hadn't got around to wearing. I bought it from the Marks & Spencer outlet near to where I work last year towards the end of the Summer. However, it failed to make the holiday wardrobe edit

We are an international group of fashion bloggers who meet once a month.

Every year Ada invites some of her blogger friends to get dressed up for a virtual birthday party - head over to her blog to see all the

Saturday was a scorcher here - I even managed to get a bit of a tan in the garden! Sunday was a completely different story though thanks to the arrival of Arctic air. It's back to layers for now! We took these photos while it was still warm, which put

- [Pink Organza Puff Sleeves and Silver Cropped Trousers + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pink-organza-puff-sleeves-and-silver-cropped-trousers-link-up/) - Statement sleeves are currently back in the spotlight, but for me they never went away. I've always loved a bit of arm drama (or should that be drarma?). Anyway, encouraged by the milder weather I treated myself to this pretty pink top with sheer sleeves. Big sleeves often make it difficult to wear a coat
- [Too Much Time Yet Not Enough + Sunday Reflections link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/too-much-time-yet-not-enough-sunday-reflections-link-up/) - I was intending to put together a Mother's Day gift guide for earlier in the week, but to be honest I just couldn't focus on it. Things have been changing so rapidly that I can't plan more than a few days ahead. I desperately wanted to see my mum today but it was neither possible
- [Camo Print Skinny Jeans and Red Wrap Top + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/camo-print-skinny-jeans-and-red-wrap-top-link-up/) - I mentioned in yesterdays' post, this was the outfit I originally had planned for this month's Style Not Age theme.

I hope you had a great weekend! To be honest, the weekends aren't really any different from weekdays for me. Although I did work a couple of days last week so that meant that I was entitled to a cheeky glass of red on Friday evening ;-) There's no

Storm Dennis blew in and damaged our TV aerial, but other than that we escaped quite lightly. I'm travelling down to Cambridgeshire today to stay with my mum, so I'm hoping for quiet journey. Pete just got a new car today (I decided not to take it though...I need to get
- [Rust Frill Sleeve Jumper and Cargo Trousers + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/rust-frill-sleeve-jumper-and-cargo-trousers-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - How's your week going so far? I had a poorly little girl at home with me yesterday so we started a 1000-piece jigsaw...I used to love jigsaws as a child! But the news that Isobel has a place at her preferred secondary school certainly cheered her up :-) It's hard to believe she only has
- [Mustard co-ord with turquoise accessories + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/mustard-co-ord-with-turquoise-accessories-link-up/) - I seem to be drawn to deep yellow tones of mustard and ochre lately. My mustard and cobalt outfit went down a storm (thank you for all the kind comments!) and prompted Jacqui of Mummabstylish to "steal" my style! Great job Jacqui! When I saw this mustard co-ord in the Zara sale I immediately added
- [Monki Turquoise Jaguar Jumper and Yellow Cord Skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/monki-turquoise-jaguar-jumper-and-yellow-cord-skirt/) - How's your weekend going? We're currently waiting for storm Ciara to arrive - it's already getting windy. Sunday's weather forecast looks dreadful so I'll be staying indoors. Luckily I've been able to get a few sets of outfit photos done later in the day now the nights are drawing out. I don't usually post on
- [Bright Orange and Tartan + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bright-orange-and-tartan-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I mentioned in yesterday's Style Not Age post that I'd be back today with more colour. Well these bright orange trousers certainly pack a colour punch! I'd initially envisaged wearing them with the green blouse I wore in yesterday's post but I'll save that colour combination for another day. Instead I've chosen the (slightly) less
- [Pom Amsterdam Bordeaux Jacket and Utility Trousers + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/pom-amsterdam-bordeaux-jacket-and-utility-trousers-link-up/) - It feels good to put January behind me and look towards Spring. Yesterday it was still fully light at 4.30pm which is a sure sign we're coming to the end of Winter. It's around this time of year that I start to feel more motivated after the usual Winter torpor. I can now be more
- [Red for Valentine's Day Stylish Monday link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/red-for-valentines-day-stylish-monday-link-up/) - Valentine's Day is just a few days away so it's very fitting that this month's Stylish Monday theme is red! Me and Pete don't really celebrate Valentine's Day so instead of a date night outfit I've put together something fun. Well actually, he described it as "borderline clown" - he even suggested I add a
- [Leopard Print and Faux Leather + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-and-faux-leather-link-up/) - Only a week to Christmas now! Have you done all of your shopping yet? I still have a few things left to buy, but I'm keeping things relatively simple this year. I may treat myself to something in the sales; going by the emails in my inbox, some have already started, which is great if

As I wasn't expecting to go out I hadn't planned what to wear...which

Here in the UK the Winter has been quite mild, although it's quite possible that we'll get a cold snap in the next few weeks. January and February are often colder than December. Actually, I much prefer cold, sunny days to grey skies and rain. Plus,
- [Lavender and Sunshine Yellow + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/lavender-and-sunshine-yellow-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - In yesterday's Stylish Monday post I mentioned how I love bundling up in cosy outfits on a crisp, cold Winter's day. However, there are also those days when it never seems to get fully light; those are the days that can make me feel down in the dumps. On those occasions you've just got to
- [Styling a Utility Jumpsuit + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/styling-a-utility-jumpsuit-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - The utility trend was big last year but I was reluctant to buy into it. So you might be wondering why I chose the new year to finally try it; well, while it's referred to as a 'trend' I don't think it will ever really go away. Utility chic, or whatever you want to call
- [Golden Girl Lurex Jumper and Lace Skirt + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/golden-girl-lurex-jumper-and-lace-skirt-link-up/) - I do hope you're not bored of sparkly outfits yet because I'm not! I've had my eye on this Golden Girl lurex jumper for a while and managed to snag it during the Black Friday sale. I'm not a fan of the whole Black Friday/Cyber Monday malarkey, but if I see something I genuinely want

- [Floral Print Longline Jacket and Navy Trousers](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/floral-print-longline-jacket-and-navy-trousers/) - Happy Friday! Are you all ready for the weekend? It's feeling rather autumnal now, in fact the weather has turned cooler since we shot these photos. But just like today, it was very windy! Actually, it's always windy at MediaCity - I think it must be the way the buildings are situated. So when it
- [Twinning in Leopard Print + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/twinning-in-leopard-print/) - Well, that's the Summer holidays done! Isobel started her last year at primary school today. She's certainly growing up fast...and showing a keen interest in fashion. Whenever I'm about to do outfit photos she asks what I'm wearing and wants to join in. I certainly couldn't say no when she emerged from her room in this
- [Floral Print Bomber Jacket With Hot Pink Accents + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/floral-print-bomber-jacket-with-hot-pink-accents-link-up/) - As we head into Winter the decreasing amount of daylight presents a challenge for me. I can cope with crisp autumnal days when it's cold but the sun is bright. But those days when it never really gets light truly suck. While the run up to Christmas keeps me occupied, I know the really tough

I've been working and I have busy week ahead, such is the life of a freelancer! I haven't had as much time to spend blogging as I'd like lately.

The weather is gorgeous here today...perfect for a cute Summer dress! Actually, we took these photos a few days ago, but if I had somewhere to go today I'd definitely wear this dress, even with my pasty white legs! I bought it from the-Bias-Cut.com a couple of weeks ago while there was a generous discount

This month it was my turn to choose the theme and I was mindful of the weather being somewhat unpredictable. The fashion world may be over Summer and already looking ahead to Autumn/Winter, but the temperature in the UK is keeping us on our toes! However, one
- [Arabella and Addison Cat and Mouse Sweater](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/arabella-and-addison-cat-and-mouse-sweater/) - When I stumbled across this Arabella and Addison cat and mouse sweater on the TK Maxx website I just had to have it! I love cats and anything with cats on so this jumper is right up my street. And having a mouse on it too makes it just that bit cuter - it reminds
- [Linea Striped Jersey Dress](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/linea-striped-jersey-dress/) - A simple jersey dress is such a versatile piece of clothing - it can be dressed up with heels or kept casual with boots or ballet flats. I was aiming for somewhere in the middle for a lunch date with the husband to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Ten minutes before we were due to leave
- [Monochrome Zigzag Print Coat - A Day Out at Jodrell Bank](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/monochrome-zigzag-print-coat-a-day-out-at-jodrell-bank/) - Sunshine on a Bank Holiday Monday is not something you can take for granted, so we seized the opportunity and took a little trip to Jodrell Bank, which is only a short drive from home. If you've got kids it's a fantastic day out as there are plenty of picnic benches to stop for a
- [Pale Blue Wallis Coat](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pale-blue-wallis-coat/) - Spring may be a little way off yet but I'm getting into the mood already with this pale blue coat from Wallis. It's just the right thickness to transition the seasons and would look great with jeans and flats for a casual look, as well as with tailored trousers and heels for the office. I
- [Festive Bright Red Coat](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/festive-bright-red-coat/) - There's nothing more sartorially festive than a bright red coat (I'm ignoring the Christmas jumper trend on the grounds it'll be distinctly naff by mid January) and so what better occasion to wear it than a trip to town for some Christmas shopping? I'm having to restrain myself quite a lot when it comes to
- [Theyskens' Theory Grey Coat](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/theyskens-theory-grey-coat/) - After a little break from the blog I was eager to show you one of my must-have items for winter: the maxi coat. This is probably the longest coat I've ever owned. At first I walked straight past this Theyskens' Theory grey coat in TKMaxx. But on closer inspection it started to grow on me
- [Autumn Ruffles | Shades of Orange and Terracotta](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/autumn-ruffles-shades-of-orange-and-terracotta/) - Today's outfit has an autumnal feel to it with the shades of orange and terracotta. It wasn't intentional but given that summer has been a complete washout I'm kind of looking forward to the new season. The thought of crisp sunny autumn days and (hopefully) the end to what has seemed like the monsoon season
- [Abstract Print Pencil Skirt and Black Tee](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/abstract-print-pencil-skirt-and-black-tee/) - This is what I wore to the office yesterday; I grabbed the chance to wear sandals and something that resembles a summery outfit before the heavy rain today. This abstract print pencil skirt is also great teamed with black tights and ankle boots for Autumn/Winter. Unfortunately it does have a tendency to crease. As it
- [Philosophy Blues Trench Coat and Wide Brim Hat](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/philosophy-blues-trench-coat-wide-brim-hat/) - Time to dig out the hats and boots....you can tell Autumn is just around the corner! I'm always a little sad to see the back of Summer. Although I like to cheer myself up with all the new season collections hitting the shops. Every cloud and all that! This navy wide brim hat is from
- [Shades of Blue With a Pop of Red](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/shades-of-blue-with-a-pop-of-red/) - It was my daughter's birthday at the weekend so on Saturday we had a party at the bowling alley for her and some school friends (kids with heavy bowling balls...what could possibly go wrong?) which was almost as much fun for the adults as we got a game in too! After I finished work on Sunday morning we went

I don't know about you, but I can't fully embrace the new season's trends in September because it can still feel like Summer (if we're lucky). The first day of October marks a shift in
- [Snake Print Shirt and Shoes](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/snake-print-shirt-and-shoes/) - There seems to be a bit of a theme going on with my outfit choices of late...first a double dose of leopard print and now a duo of snake print. When putting this outfit together, the Topshop lace up shoes (which I first wore on the blog here) were the starting point because they are
- [Wallis Coat and Jaeger Silk Blouse](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/wallis-coat-and-jaeger-silk-blouse/) - Black and red is one of my favourite outfit colour combinations, it's simple yet makes an impact. It also gave me a chance to wear my new red coat from Wallis which first appeared on the blog here. Underneath I'm wearing a silk blouse from Jaeger which I bought on Ebay. I love the loose
- [Monochrome Sports Luxe](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/monochrome-sports-luxe/) - I have to admit, when it first appeared in the glossies the sports luxe trend wasn't something I immediately wanted to try, but it has slowly grown on me. I suppose as with any trend, it's a matter of finding a way to adapt it to your own style and body shape. Monochrome sports luxe
- [Black and White Striped Maxi Dress](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-and-white-striped-maxi-dress/) - Looking back through my recent holiday photos I realised I'd forgotten to post this outfit. This black and white striped maxi dress is a little awkward to get into but once it's on it feels great and drapes in all the right places. The stripes make a change from all the floral prints we see
- [Sequinned Summer Maxi Dress](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/sequinned-summer-maxi-dress/) - Today's post is of an outfit I wore on holiday recently. I've had this sequinned Summer maxi dress for ages, but this is the first time I've worn it. It's perfect for a warm evening as it's sheer but has a separate thigh-length camisole underneath to avoid showing next week's washing! I only had room
- [Sunday Afternoon at the Park](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/sunday-afternoon-at-the-park/) - After a long, hard week at work it was nice to go out for lunch followed by Sunday afternoon at the park.

It was warm enough for short sleeves but I'm not quite ready to bare my legs yet, hence the boots and tights. I've been very wary of wearing mustard in the past, but
- [Temperley London Green Dress With Neutral Accessories](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/temperley-london-green-dress/) - I'm keeping with the colour blocking trend in this vibrant green dress today. I had to make the most of the Autumn heatwave by going tights-free and wearing sandals. It probaly won't last much longer!

- [Red Alert: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Dress and Miu Miu Snake Print Shoes](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/vivienne-westwood-anglomania-dress/) - What better occasion to debut these recent gorgeous sale bargains than a wedding! The vibrant red dress is Vivienne Westwood Anglomania, and the to-die-for snake skin print shoes are by Miu Miu.. They were a birthday present from my very generous (and slightly tipsy) husband. It's amazing what plying your other half with wine will
- [Monochrome Zebra Print Dress With Neutral Accessories](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/monochrome-zebra-print-dress-with-neutral-accessories/) - I'm keeping cool today in this monochrome zebra print dress with neutral accessories. I bought the dress at Wallis on sale. It's great for work on a hot summer's day because it's comfortable, smart and doesn't have a gaping neckline. Plus, it doesn't crease so would be ideal for taking on holiday too. You can

The event is held in the nearby village of Holme and attracts around 15,000 visitors. The living history displays set up in the streets, fields and woods around Holme recreate life during WWII in this

I have to admit that my heart sank a little when I saw the theme was "Summer Whites"; I hardly ever wear white so this was never going to be an easy challenge for me. I just find it very high maintenance trying to keep it clean
- [When Life Gives You Lemons...Turn Them Into an Outfit! + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/when-life-gives-you-lemons/) - You know that saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"? Well I prefer to turn them into an outfit! The proverbial phrase is all about optimism in the face of adversity, although I'm not sure why lemons are considered unlucky. We were certainly unfortunate with the weather over the weekend. You may have seen
- [Asos Lace Tee and Culottes](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/asos-lace-tee-and-culottes/) - Culottes seem to be everywhere at the moment - open any glossy magazine and I guarantee you'll find some, and yet they can be a tricky trouser shape to pull off. The shorter, fuller culottes are not really for me (although I never say never!) but a longer ankle-skimming pair can work for most body shapes and look
- [Post Marathon Meal in Montmartre | Chinti and Parker Sweater](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/post-marathon-meal-in-montmartre/) - After running the marathon I was quite tempted to just crash out on the bed and stay there; tackling the five flights of stairs up to our apartment almost finished me off! Parisians don't seem to care too much for lifts! But let's face it, you can't come to Paris and waste an evening sleeping
- [Asos Orange Bug Jumper](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/asos-orange-bug-jumper/) - I bought this Asos orange bug jumper last winter but this is only the second time I've worn it. I love the raised insect embellishments, I think they're really cute! I've acquired quite a collection of motif jumpers over the last 12 months or so...mostly from Asos as there's always such a great selection. Also,
- [Asos Tartan Blanket Scarf and Baker Boy Hat](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/asos-tartan-scarf/) - One way to freshen up your winter wardrobe without breaking the bank is with a few new accessories.

- [Bright Pink and Navy](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/bright-pink-and-navy/) - Colour plays a big part in how I decide what to wear. Some days I want to wear yellow, others only red will do, but today I was feeling in a pink kinda mood. It doesn't happen very often but when it does I usually reach for this bag/shoe combination. Bright pink and navy is
- [Autumn Brights | Asos Mustard Trousers and Reiss Purple Silk Blouse](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/autumn-brights-asos-mustard-trousers-and-reiss-purple-silk-blouse/) - Summer may be over but that doesn't mean the bright colours have to be packed way until next year. In fact autumn is the perfect time of year to wear jewel tones - emerald, ruby, amethyst and sapphire hues all look glorious against autumn foliage. I like to call them "Autumn Brights" :-) Although it's

- [Leopard Print, Spikes and Studs](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-spikes-and-studs/) - Whoever said "less is more" clearly didn't know what they were talking about! A statement dress, leopard print coat and some serious hardware on the accessories front is perhaps a combination you wouldn't rock up to the office in, but for a party...well that's a different matter. I love this soft and furry coat and
- [Asos Faux Fur Gilet and Karen Millen Skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/asos-faux-fur-gilet-and-karen-millen-skirt/) - When the temperature starts to drop faux fur is a surefire way to keep warm in style.

- [Silver cropped trousers and hot pink blouse + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/silver-cropped-trousers-hot-pink-blouse-link-up/) - I feel like I've taken my foot off the gas with the blog and social media recently. It's down to a combination of things, although a lack of motivation has been a big factor. I think all bloggers go through periods like this from time to time; when you do something for a number of
- [Snake Print and Tweed With Orange Accents + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/snake-print-and-tweed-with-orange-accents/) - Animal print has featured heavily in my outfits recently; leopard, zebra and snake prints are really having a moment, although they never really go out of style. They add an interesting dimension to any outfit, whether it's in the form of a bold statement piece or confined to accessories. I mixed the snake print and
- [How to wear neon for a smart casual look + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/how-to-wear-neon-for-a-smart-casual-look-link-up/) - Well this post has been a labour of love (she says through gritted teeth). My laptop is grinding to a halt under the constant usage so that now even simple things take ages. And as for Photoshop...forget it! It now takes so long to make basic changes to a photo such as cropping and adjusting
- [Check skirt and studded biker boots + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/check-skirt-and-studded-biker-boots-link-up/) - I'm certainly enjoying this milder weather, which means Spring is almost here! The daffodils are starting to bloom and the trees are in bud :-) I took the opportunity to wear a jacket instead of a coat, which I teamed with a check skirt and biker boots. I bought the skirt on eBay last week
- [Warm browns with dark green and aubergine + Style With a Smile link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/warm-browns-with-dark-green-and-aubergine-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I'm a sucker for buying coats in the sales; even though I have lots already, I just can't resist a bargain. I wear my long camel coat so much that I wondered if I could justify buying this brown one as it's quite similar. But of course I caved and bought it (browsing Brand Alley

I hope you all had a great weekend. We got back from holiday on Friday evening - from beautiful sunshine to rain...typical!

I managed to get an appointment at a local salon this morning. A very lovely and sympathetic stylist
- [Scotch & Soda snow leopard trouser suit + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/scotch-soda-snow-leopard-trouser-suit/) - Have you ever instantly fallen in love with a piece of clothing only to find it's beyond your budget? It happens to me quite a lot. If it's too pricey to even contemplate buying it sort of makes it easier, but when it's just out of reach it makes it all the more tantalising. That

Well, while I was playing around putting that outfit together it sparked the idea for another one using the same colours.

I get particularly anxious when I don't have enough time for blogging. When I fall behind with visiting other blogs and replying to comments I feel like a bad blogger. But even if I don't reply
- [Fabienne Chapot pink hat and grey faux fur trim coat + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/fabienne-chapot-pink-hat/) - It took me a long time to feel comfortable wearing hats, but now I have quite a collection. I love how they can totally transform an outfit (as well as keep your head warm). Most of my hats are in neutral tones, but a brightly coloured one has the ability to make a bold statement.
- [Black velvet jacket and culottes + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-velvet-jacket-and-culottes/) - There are some trends that come around every Winter, velvet being one of them. It's easy to see why this luxurious fabric is so popular: it's soft to the touch, comfortable and easy to dress up. And yet, it took me a while to warm to velvet. It's not always the most flattering fabric -
- [Monki jaguar jumper and purple A line skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/monki-jaguar-jumper-and-purple-a-line-skirt/) - Have you ever seen something on someone else that you absolutely have to have...only to discover it's completely sold out? Well that's what happened with this Monki jaguar jumper. I saw someone at work wearing it, but as I didn't know her I didn't like to ask where she bought it. So I did what

It'll be chunky sweaters and big coats for the foreseeable future I think, judging by the hideous weather. My Summer clothes are all packed away, waiting hopefully for another holiday sometime soon ;-) Pairing these bold striped culottes

It was held at the Landmark Hotel directly opposite Marylebone station, so very easy to find. It was the first time I'd attended Blogosphere so I had no idea what to expect. Living in Cheshire makes

I hope you all had a great weekend and start to the new week.

I hope your week has got off to a good start :-) I've been packing away my Summer clothes, which I'm always reluctant to do.

- [Eva Trends leopard print maxi dress & Messages in Metal personalized necklace + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/leopard-print-maxi-dress-messages-in-metal-personalized-necklace/) - I've only been back from holiday just over a week but it already feels like a long time ago. It's taken me almost a week to get back to feeling on an even keel; coming from a tropical climate to grey skies and long nights has been hard to adjust to. Packing all my Summer
- [Elevating your casual style with a few simple wardrobe upgrades + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/elevating-your-casual-style-with-a-few-simple-wardrobe-upgrades/) - There are certain wardrobe staples that we wear more for comfort than the wow factor. Changing attitudes to casual clothing means many of us no longer need to dress formally for work. Jeans, track pants and trainers are now deemed acceptable in many social settings, including the office for many of us. But however relaxed
- [Snake print skirt, statement sleeves and red coat + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/snake-print-skirt-statement-sleeves-and-red-coat/) - I've featured leopard print a lot lately, so in the interest of balance I thought I'd wear a bit of snake print. When I pulled out the leopard print skirt for the Style Not Age August theme I also rediscovered this old H&M one. It's funny really because I used to wear pencil skirts a
- [Frill skirt and mustard top + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/frill-skirt-and-mustard-top-link-up/) - In yesterday's Style Not Age post I mentioned that I had a couple of outfits in mind for our "Frill Seekers" theme; well this was the other one. It just wasn't practical to wear this to work on a long, chilly day, so I had to wait a couple of days until I could take
- [Embracing the new season in tartan trousers and a turtleneck sweater + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/embracing-the-new-season-in-tartan-trousers-and-a-turtleneck-sweater-link-up/) - Although it's only the second week of September it seems we are done with the warm weather here in the UK. There's a real chill in the air, and we've even debated turning the central heating on! One consolation for the dip in temperatures though, is rediscovering jumpers and boots that have sat unworn for
- [Green midi dress and pineapple bag + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/green-midi-dress-pineapple-bag/) - A few weeks ago when I was working in Leeds, I made good use of my lunch break by hitting the shops. You see, I live in a small Cheshire town where there are hardly any clothes shops, never mind decent ones. My usual place of work in Salford is a laboriously slow tram ride
- [Blue and white striped long shirt dress + link up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/blue-and-white-striped-long-shirt-dress-link-up/) - This blue and white striped long shirt dress is another one from my recent Zara haul. I ordered it at the same time as the green dress, and the red and blue floral print dress. Oddly I had to exchange it for the next size up; usually I take a medium in Zara but I

Sitting in the garden drinking rosé wine also seems very appealing ;-) So pairing this pretty floral print pencil skirt and novelty bag together sums up my mood quite well! I bought
- [Styling floral prints for a comfy office-appropriate look](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/styling-floral-prints-for-a-comfy-office-appropriate-look/) - At this time of year I mentally mothball my big coats (even though I don't actually pack them away) in favour of jackets. A bright, colourful blazer instantly lifts a black outfit, and in the case of floral prints, add a little bit of Summer cheer. There's no dress code where I work but I
- [My Favourite Jewellery Brands + Sunday Reflections link up](https://www.style-splash.com/jewellery/my-favourite-jewellery-brands-sunday-reflections-link-up/) - I've always been obsessed with jewellery; I don't feel properly dressed without it. Over the years I've acquired quite a collection but I can always be tempted to buy more! I'm not a jewellery snob - apart from my wedding, engagement and eternity rings I own very few items of fine jewellery. My collection is

I'm already looking for another holiday in October half term, and I would definitely consider going back to the UAE. Of course the weather is the main factor, but I do love to explore and go
- [Flare Hem Skinny Jeans and Leopard Print + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/flare-hem-skinny-jeans-and-leopard-print/) - Can you believe it's May already? That must mean warmer weather is just around the corner, right? Well, we live in hope.

They were either too short, the wrong size or not the style I wanted. You wouldn't think such a simple item of clothing would be so hard to find would you? Well, eventually I found this

Working freelance means I'm at home quite a lot so I've no need to dress up. When I'm working in the newsroom I usually wear trousers and a lightweight sweater, or a dress with tights and boots. But when I'm doing the school run,
- [Jacquard Skirt and Navy Flared Sleeve Jumper + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/jacquard-skirt-and-navy-flared-sleeve-jumper/) - When I want to make a statement with my outfit and stay warm, an A-line skirt with boots is one of my favourite winter combinations. Plus, choosing a skirt with a dark colour palette in a more structured fabric gives you plenty of styling options. For a smart daytime look I teamed this gorgeous jacquard

It's a classic colour that works well with most skin tones, especially when paired with bright accessories. I combined this grey faux fur trim coat with burgundy accents for contrast. Grey and
- [Floral Print Midi Skirt and Biker Jacket + Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/floral-print-midi-skirt-and-biker-jacket-link-up/) - I'm a big fan of floral prints with a dark base colour in winter, so when I saw this midi skirt on sale I quickly added it to my basket. It was actually one of the items in the elusive M&S parcel (along with the gold jumper). The skirt is pure cotton so I will get

Have you done all of your shopping and wrapping? I think I'm just about done with shopping, I just have the wrapping to do. Tomorrow I'm off to my mum's to bring her back to Cheshire for Christmas.

I deliberately left it out of my Key Trends For Your Autumn Wardrobe Update because it's one of those A/W perennials. I have a few faux fur coats, but when I found this French Connection short sleeved jacket on
- [Running the Marathon du Medoc](https://www.style-splash.com/travel/running-the-marathon-du-medoc/) - Running the Marathon du Medoc is one of the most bizarre things I've ever taken part in. That's why it appealed to me so much. It's certainly not for the serious marathon runner. With 22 wine stops and so much food that you could consume more calories than you burn off, you have to ignore the Garmin and

In other words, combining these two colours is a fashion faux pas. Well thankfully, we're all beginning to realise that rules are for fools...at least when it comes to getting dressed.

While I try to be organised and buy most of my gifts early (especially the big things like the toy every child wants and is rarer than hen's teeth) it's easy to forget some of the smaller gifts that everyone loves
- [Happiness Boutique Pansy Necklace](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/happiness-boutique-pansy-necklace/) - A favourite trick of mine to liven up a plain outfit is to wear jewellery that makes a statement. Most often I go for necklaces because they help define and shape the neckline. A snazzy necklace can instantly transform an outfit, taking it from ordinary to eye-catching.

I don't make New Year's resolutions (too much pressure), but I'm quietly hoping for an easier year in 2026,
- [Orange Sequin Parrot Sweatshirt + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/orange-sequin-parrot-sweatshirt-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I'm back in my trainers again! My foot is still really sore and swollen but at least the ugly foam sandal is in the bin. I spent an hour exfoliating my foot this morning and it still looks hideous. When the dressing came off it looked like it belonged to an ancient Egyptian mummy. Or

With that in mind, I'm more

Separation, evolving family roles, or shifting financial responsibilities often require careful review of existing agreements.

Yet, warm browns, tan and burgundy shades are very versatile. Plus, they're flattering on all skin tones. I find it increasingly hard to wear black, especially in the daytime.

Although moisturisers, serums and SPF are undoubtedly crucial to an effective beauty routine, nothing compensates for a good night's sleep. When I've slept well it makes a massive difference to my skin: it's plumper, more even-toned and fine lines seem less noticeable. However, sometimes

- [Lovely Linen - August's Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/lovely-linen-augusts-style-not-age/) - The theme for this month's Style Not Age challenge is Lovely Linen, and I have to be honest, it's not my favourite fabric.

- [Second Hand September - Style Not Age](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/second-hand-september-style-not-age/) - For this month's Style Not Age theme we are seeing out Second Hand September with some preloved bargains.

I'm hoping I won't feel as ill as I did after the first one by tomorrow. But just in case, I've stocked up on paracetamol. The vaccination centre is in a small retail park where there's a supermarket, and bizarrely there was a man with four Harris hawks
- [Pink and Bright Red + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/pink-and-bright-red-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - My collection of knitted and crocheted vests is continuing to grow; this is my latest addition. I found it on eBay for a very reasonable price - £15 plus £3.50 postage. When I first saw it I thought it would be far too small, but it does have a fair amount of stretch. This would

It will seem weird not having her around in the day after an extended period of homeschooling followed by
- [Epibrow Lash Serum Review](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/epibrow-lash-serum-review/) - Over the years, in my quest for long and full eyelashes, I've gone to extraordinary lengths (no pun intended). I've had my eyelashes tinted, permed, lifted, and tried countless mascaras, but the results were hit and miss. I did consider lash extensions or strips but it just seems like too much maintenance for me, as

- [Sönd Revitalising Face Serum and Hydrating Face Spray](https://www.style-splash.com/beauty/sond-revitalising-face-serum-and-hydrating-face-spray/) - I like to keep my skincare simple. Let's face it - not many of us want to spend half an hour at each end of the day applying lots of different potions and lotions. Along with a good cleanser and moisturiser, one skincare step I never skip is serum. I'm always up for trying new ones,

- [See by Chloe Red Skirt](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/see-by-chloe-red-skirt/) - An alternative to monochrome - red and black really packs a punch. As you may have guessed I love red, it's my favourite colour, but I sometimes find it tricky to work into an outfit with other colours.

As predicted, the UK is now in a kind of lockdown - we can still go out for a walk/run once a day, shop for essentials and go to work (if you're classed as a key worker).

- [Black and White Gingham Sundress + Style With a Smile Link Up](https://www.style-splash.com/outfits/black-and-white-gingham-sundress-style-with-a-smile-link-up/) - I bought this black and white gingham sundress for my trip to Madeira last October, and although I took it with me I didn't end up wearing it there. In some ways I'm glad I didn't because it meant I had something "new" to wear on my latest holiday. I know it's not very sustainable

- [Black and White Stripes](https://www.style-splash.com/fashion/black-and-white-stripes/) - In my last post I said that I hadn't been wearing skirts much lately due to the practicalities of starting work early in the morning.

That's what sprung to mind when I put this outfit together.

For some, it's sequins and glitter, while for others it signifies luxurious fabrics such as cashmere, silk and velvet. Everyday luxe means all of these things to me, but above all it has to combine comfort with being a little "extra". For this month's Stylish Monday
