Some levity for you, tumblr.

Normally I roll my eyes when fatshion bloggers swear blind it’s possible to find viable clothing in straight-sized stores because, unless they’re cut like the Mary Portas range, or said bloggers err on the smaller side of fat, I know damned well the chance of me finding something to fit are remote. In fact I’d sooner punch myself in the face than go trolling for crumbs in an...

Sometimes I just can’t pass up on a potentially great accessory, even if I have nothing I can bring to mind that goes with it. This striped bangle – cheap as chips in the Tie Rack sale – is one such example, as is this excellent Clothkits bag, scored in a charity shop for a fiver a couple of weeks ago. I was stunned when I found it because it’s in absolutely mint condition - as in...

Actually my friend Deanne is The Girl With The Most Frocks, though I am indisputably The Girl In The Most Debt thanks to my own insatiable passion. Since falling in love at the age of nine with a hand-me-down, peach, knife-edge-pleated, A-line number that made me look like an IKEA lampshade, it’s been frocks all the way for me. They’re a no-brainer to accessorise and require far less...

Say it with me:
the attractiveness of the actor does not excuse the heinous stuff their character does.
Actually I think you’ll find it does.

So, you know those really annoying posts some fashion bloggers make where they post a gazillion repetitive pictures of themselves wearing the same outfit? Yeah, well this is one of those. Because, hot damn, am I chuffed with this dress! Chuffed and reflective. We’ll do chuffed first, eh?
I’ve been perusing some more mature fashionistas’ blogs because sometimes I feel like the oldest crock on...

It’s not often you see an on-location shot of me, (albeit taken on my mate Neil’s iPhone), but at least it’s a break from my living room door. As you can see we’ve been basking in the most glorious summer here in London, (not) - just perfect for a day out in Hyde Park to check out the Ai Weiwei/Herzog and de Meuron Pavillion and the Yoko Ono exhibition at the Serpentine.

So there's this meme...
…where you do a search using the following bolded words in your iTunes library and you’re supposed to write down the first track that comes up for each search. So I did.
Happy: Only Happy When It Rains – Garbage

Love: Love In An Elevator – Aerosmith
Hate: I Hate Camera – The Bird And The Bee
Light: Strobe Light – B52s
Dark: Dark Paradise – Lana Del...

This time of year, typically at about 4.00 p.m., the sun comes round the front of my gaff and floods my living room with picture-perfect light. But, alas, not this year. No, this year - the year of the Olympics as the Laws Of Sod would have it – we’ve been blessed with grey, doomladen skies for weeks on end and so much rain the government’s even lifted the hosepipe ban. Which is why...

For the longest time, tumblr fats, I had a downer on blue. “But why, Buttercup?” I fondly imagine you interjecting, “Surely blue flatters your stormy blue-grey peepers a treat?” Well, to be honest, it started when I was a tween. I went to a posh girls school where we were forced to wear godawful hats, (straw boaters in the summer; black velour piss-pot cloches in the winter), for fear of being...
If money and distance were no object I’d be all over these Hybrid Geology resin bangles by Australian artist, Kate Rhode – because a) They’re frackin’ amazing. And b) I am helpless in the face of my bangle addiction, which there aren’t enough bangles in the world to satisfy. Also OMGcolours.

...and the hits just keep on coming.
C’mon. You expect me not to give this delightful trinket a shout-out?
I need this so bad.
