Jumpsuits! Possibly the greatest of all sartorial creations (yes, really). The experience of wearing a jumpsuit is, I guess, akin to that of wearing pyjamas in public: you will be … Continue readingjump around.

No, not me. That obviously isn’t me. That’s a model wearing the bra I’ve been wearing regularly for the last couple of weeks. I thought it was only fair to … Continue readingthinking about underwear again.

I took advantage of the bank holiday to see some pals in Brighton. This involved a lot of sitting and drinking/eating, some communism and walking up a hill to where … Continue readingbank holiday brighton.

Well it’s that time of year again: once more I am Bethany the magazine intern, providing hours of fun at an office near you! Fortunately, this means absolutely no change … Continue readingback to business.

So, I’ve been a bit quiet lately but I’m pleased to report that’s because I was on holiday! I had an amazing time in Portugal with my pal Charlotte, spending … Continue readingEyebrow in Portugal.

The time has come. Two years after most people my age, I have finally finished my degree! I started BA American Studies at Sussex in 2007 but dropped out after … Continue readingFinished!

Well, it’s the home strait. I have one exam left before my holiday so I’m trying to get into the frivolous spirit with some suitably summery attire. None more delightful/disgusting … Continue readingsplash.

My Morrissey obsession has been longstanding. So when my beloved Amy Lamé (under Scottee‘s direction- you may remember Scottee from here!) got going on a birthday party (Unhappy Birthday, get … Continue readingyou’re evil and you lied.

On Saturday night, many friends gathered together to celebrate the happy event of Bianca and Matt’s engagement. Bianca is one of my oldest friends, and to see her so happily … Continue readingOn This Joyous Occasion.

Welcome, welcome to the first post on my new blog! Well, same blog, different design, different URL. Again I’ll apologise for my sporadic posting, I’m in exam season for another … Continue readingBra-vo.

I know it’s a really douchey thing to do because you probably didn’t notice I was gone, but I’ll just begin by apologising for my absence- I’m in my finals … Continue readingGingerbread Men.

Surely the fact I’m reviewing swimwear means summer’s on its way, yes? Either way, I will be finding a multitude of ways to hit the beach now I have this … Continue readingHere Comes The Sun.

So I just got back from my annual trip with my old pal Mark (who you may remember from our last annual trip) – a few days in Amsterdam where the weather … Continue readingOOTD Abroad.

So, I got into the Masters programme I’d applied for (MA Journalism at Goldsmiths, for the curious). This called for a celebration, so a standard date night was combined with … Continue readingFuck Flattering : Date Edition.

I’ve been enjoying my leather dress lately. On Tuesday I put it over my famous tropical jeans and wore it with bare arms, but on this occasion I went for … Continue readingBad Girls Do It Well.

Firstly I want to thank Jayne for taking almost all the photos you see here. She is amazing.  Secondly I want to thank, in no particular order, Laurel, Jack, Sam, … Continue readingBe My Burger Queen.

I love Mad Men. I’ve watched it since the beginning and think it’s truly exceptional television, so the hiatus has been pretty painful. In fact, I’ve seen Jon Hamm more … Continue readingMad Men.

Friday was the last day of our year’s undergraduate teaching EVER. The French students of UCL united and converged upon a pub in Bloomsbury to drink and be merry in … Continue readingOut With The Old.

Apparently it’s ‘National No-Makeup Day’. Whether or not that’s true, I just wanted to, for once, post a photo where I was makeup free. Someone asked me recently if I … Continue readingAu Naturel.

This dress is a bit of a strange one. I half love it, half hate it. I was sent it to compensate for a certain brand’s fuckery (may I add, … Continue readingMixed Fortunes.

Sometimes I want to dress like a nice young woman, other times I want to dress like I’m going to key your car. This ’80s-meets-’60s outfit is for such an … Continue readingPolka Dots & Leopard Spots.

Just a simple outfit for today’s post! Still loving the sweater dress (honestly, my Jaeger leopard print one is the best thing I’ve ever bought!), and loving being able to … Continue readingCharcoal Tuesday.

I’m loving washed-out pastels and sweet prints at the moment. I’m trying to encourage spring to appear by wearing lots of candy colours and general sunny bits and pieces. I … Continue readingPrimark or Prada.

Yesterday morning I took a trip with some friends to see the Picasso exhibition at the Tate Britain. I thought I should wear something demure and ladylike for this adventure, … Continue readingThe Trouble With Trousers.

Sometimes I get an idea in my head so unshakeable that I’m single-minded in my pursuit to see it through. These jeans were one such idea. I’d seen them online, … Continue readingWhat Possessed You?

I’ve been so lucky to find some beautiful things in my small, local, fairly unremarkable charity shop (Marie Curie Cancer Care, Archway – reprazent!). It’s right next to my bus … Continue readingSweet Charity.

Happy Friday! Here’s a review! Of underwear! 36E bra and size XL brief (sorry for no pic of me wearing it: I want a career so thought better of putting … Continue readingUnderneath My Clothes.

After the uncompromisingly badass look I posted earlier in the week, I thought I should follow up with something a bit more good-girl. I bought this jumper months ago, in … Continue readingSensible.

It’s kind of simple, kind of plain, but I really love it. My new grey jersey tank dress from Topshop. I tried it on the weekend before last, didn’t buy … Continue readingShade of Grey.
