A positive environment for people who like nail polish colours, catwalk updates, Prosecco, intersectional feminism and everything in between…welcome to my world!
This week's shopping list was dictated to me by an old favourite dress finally starting to fall apart; messy hair, don't usually care - but decided to try a new idea; wanting to wear trousers more and needing better knitwear in the freezing office and, finally, the first Christmas party I've been invited to in … Continue reading Stuff I bought this week…
As it's the holidays my family has more time to explore everything we see, do and encounter on our way through the time together. Often that's through necessity. Sometimes you have to 'pad out' the day - kids are used to a school day that constantly stimulates and challenges them physically, intellectually and emotionally.

Most of us cock it up sometimes. Most of us learn from our mistakes. Most of us grow as people. Most of … Continue reading Dear summer, you can piss off now – you’ve been lukewarm at best…
The best way to spend Monday is in bed - obviously. However, the need to eat and pay rent is pressing for most of us. Some of us are lucky enough to be able to work from home - often I can - but most people have to drag themselves out of bed, stumble into … Continue reading Monday morning tutorial #2: pick your clothes carefully…
It's Fashion Friday, I have a sickly child off school, precisely no post written and very little in the way of enthusiasm...that is a recipe for a helping of a side dish of my life. I was going to be ambitious today but I have had to pare it down for us all. I'm doing … Continue reading Sophie’s Voice super simple style: my basics…
After my post on day 3 of the Blogtober Challenge - My Everyday Essentials - I realised that I'm in danger of wearing a uniform. That's okay, per se - but I want more. I don't want to part crowds because of my sartorial choices...I just wouldn't mind getting a few admiring comments about my … Continue reading Throwback Thursday: Day 6 of the Blogtober Challenge 2015 – share your outfit of the day
