February Books

Dear friends. I'm back with some more reading delights, including two five star books. 

Those with an asterisk were books I bought myself; the rest were given to me as advance copies by NetGalley and the publishers, in return for an honest review.

Do share your thoughts and recommendations in the comments. 

Ideas for Styling Stripes and Spots

 

Dear friends. Are you Team Stripes, Team Spots, or Team Both? I vote for all three.

In today's post I'm showing how striped t-shirts, a summer staple, are also brilliant to layer up in cold weather.

Dear friends. I've got a bit Scotland and Tartan crazy in the last few months. After falling in love with Scotland during our mega cycle ride, I started researching tartan  (plaid, as it's known in some countries). 

I was thrilled to find this stunning Kettlewell tartan dress, dating from 2018, on Vinted.
