fifty things every british girl should have.
This is an old post I stole from the Sunday Times. I re-examine it every once and awhile when I'm looking for wardrobe inspiration.
1 GOLD HOOP EARRINGS For days when you wanna look J.Lo glam. These shouldn’t be so big as to look like you haven’t got over the gypsy trend, nor so small as to make you look like a three-year-old on a council estate.
2 A BERET For bad-hair days. It will take you straight to Kim Basinger in Batman. Just don’t obsess about the angle: they should be worn with nonchalance.
3 A VINTAGE OSSIE CLARK DRESS Separates the women from the girls. Fabulously flattering at any age, from 18 to 80.
4 EXPENSIVE BLACK LACE LINGERIE At least one set. For obvious reasons.
5 A PAIR OF THERMAL SHORTS For when you want to wear a skirt without tights, but it’s a bit parky outside.
6 SILK STOCKINGS A rite of passage for every woman — and, subsequently, for her man. In slightly unusual shades — such as petrol or burgundy — they make an outfit. And in this country they can be worn for three-quarters of the year.
7 A DECENT TRENCH COAT Some people are scared of trenches because they look fussy — they’re not. Everyone from Burberry to M&S does them, so there’s no excuse.
8 A LEATHER JACKET It should be cropped and fitted nicely around your waist. Takes you from a gig to the supermarket via your mum’s and a first date. Enough said.
9 A GOOD WALLET Because if a bag matters, so does your purse — and people see it all the time. Jimmy Choo’s, we feel, are particularly well thought-out.
10 A PAIR OF FALSIES (eyelashes, that is). Instant divadom.

back to school fashion no-nos.
Today marks the end of the first week back to school. I meant to post this earlier, but got caught up in my studies (read: beer gardens). Oh well, better late than never. Everyday I see some serious fashion blunders and I mostly just feel bad for the victims. But I'm here to save the day. Here are some back to school fashions that are simply not acceptable.
- High Heels and Lulus - I don't care how great your ass look, it's just ridiculous. Lulus are for exercise or lounging. If you are wearing heels you are clearly doing neither. Put some fucking pants on.
- Free Huskie T-shirts - I know that they give them away at orientation, and it's great that you want to represent. Go school spirit. But seriously, you look like a major noob! (yes I said that). Save those shirts for game day. When I see them in the hallway it just makes me want to shove you. And don't use the "I have no clean clothes excuse", it's the first week of school, I'm sure you could have scrounged something else up.
- Purse and Backpack - I get it, Uni students have a lot of shit to carry around. I feel your pain. But you DO NOT need a backpack AND a purse! Pick one. For the love of god, pick ONE!
- Sweatsuit outfits - We're all busy, studying, working, whatever. But are you seriously telling me you didn't have time to put real pants on? Jeans are just as easy and make you look less like a 40 year old man who has given up on life.
- Sloppy bun, but a full face of makeup - I don't understand. You had time to put on 15 layers of foundation, but not to make a decent ponytail? Get your priorities straight!
I realize I might sound pretty harsh, but I'm just trying to save you! xx

twenty one things for every girl's wardrobe.
![]() |
a girl can dream, right? |
- Jeans that make your ass look fantastic. If you don't love your ass in them jeans, DON'T BUY 'EM!
- A (faux) leather jacket. Real or fake, you’ve never felt so badass.
- Something sequined. For dancing!
- Lacy underwear. You don’t have to show anyone, they can be just for you. Or not.
- Insta-fab sunglasses. The secret weapon. Use these to disguise the fact that it’s been two days since your last shower. Not that that would ever happen ;)
- Black tights, they go with everything.
- Boots. The kind that will last 40 years.
- A wide array of going-out shirts. No point splurging, you'll get sick of them after two wears anyhow.
- A jean jacket. They're surprisingly versatile.
- Pashminas. Lots of them.
- A huge-everything-INCLUDING-the-kitchen-sink purse. For when you gotta get stuff done.
- A tiny-nothing-but-cash-and-id purse, preferably with a cross body strap. Great for dancing!
- A trench coat. For when you need to feel like a grown up.
- Denim shorts. The older, the better. For lazy summer days.
- T-shirts. Black and white at the very least.
- Cute flats. For everyday.
- Layering tanks. I doubt I’ve gone a day in the past five years without one.
- A fun, flirty dress. For when you want to feel like a girl.
- Basic Hoodies in neutrals.
- A little black dress. This should really go without saying.
- Killer heels. The kind that make you feel like a million bucks. A must.
