I have too many shoes

Finally I've sorted out my wardrobe, with the excuse that I need to get organised for the colder months.  So pictured, is my now pristine wardrobe.  Summer items have been packed away, future car boot sales products have been registered, winter boots have been brought out of hibernation  . . . Then what happens! The great British Weather decides to have some sort of a mini Indian Summer/heat wave.  Now I have pulled together my capsule working wardrobe, re-heeled my court shoes and dug out the opaque tights, the sun finally decides to appear.  Note to sun - where exactly have you been since July? I have been sat in my office today when its 29.5c and someone has been wearing white linen pants and wedges!  This really means that I need to step up my plan to convert the attic into dressing room so that all my clothes are easily accessible for any season or weather condition (to be honest though, I really need to work on my outfits for snow days). How is...

Its that time of year again, time to dig out those jumpers, boots and general winter clothes now that the colder months have arrived.  The weather hasn't been too bad yet, but I can honestly say rain, rain, go away . . . I'm finally packing away my summer clothes and swapping them with the winter items I've had stored away in the attic.  I've discovered that I might be able to meet a trend for this year with a faux-fur gilet I bought in San Fransisco in 2004.  Its a bit bulky as its a reversible jacket, so I'm going to be a bit creative and re-tailor the jacket to change the lining, de-bulk it.  I also realise that I resort to Marl Grey tops and jumpers as a wardrobe staple, I think I'd need to mix them in with something bright.  I've also established how many shoes I have in my collection; this includes shoes, boots, flats and flip flops . . .  The result is 46 pairs, some dating back around five years ago.  I'm not sure if this is too much or to...

I am so ready for Spring! I've spent the week suffering with a horrid cold following a fab city break in Krakow (post to follow). I'm usually a winter person at heart - I love dark nights, warm fires, stodgy food and my trusty uggs - but this winter seems to have really dragged on. So now I'm getting ready for a new season: writing my lists of spring-cleaning tasks that need doing, digging out my tee-shirts and dusting off my flip-flops. So this weekend, when the clocks 'spring forward', so will I!
