I’ve been enjoying one of those odd little colds you get during winter – four days of constant runny nose, running a temperature and, because I’m a head-strong idiot, actually going to work. Chuck it all together and my brain has been enjoying a rush of feverish endorphins. Add the fact that the last time… Continue reading [Philosophy] The Feminine Art of Self-Delusion

In the long standing tradition of the internet I thought I’d start this post by nicking someone else’s quote (but not pretending it’s mine) – saw a wonderful post somewhere where a T-Girl was having a rant about being asked “why do you wear women’s clothing?’, to which her response was ‘I don’t, I wear… Continue reading [Fashion] January Blues and Other Colours

I’m going to come off as somewhat of a drama drag-queen in this post but I promise it’s cathartic, and hopefully resonates with a lot of you wonderful readers. An the usual caveat – I spill the beans and bile and straight after I’ll write a fashion-centric post to cleanse the palate. Plus, you know,… Continue reading [Philosophy] The Unnatural Nature of T-Guilt

Or, ‘How to keep your online presence a secret’. So, I’m on Instagram now (yeah, colour me an old fart but in my defence I worked on the port of the original Mosaic browser back in 1993 while in Germany alongside CERN when the World Wide Web was a new fangled thing, so I kinda… Continue reading [Fun] Tinkeress, Tailoress, Soldieress, Spy

Been a long time since I did a Frock Tale, and I’m kinda busy at the mo so I thought it would be fun to have a quick delve into the closet and find another of my favourite dresses. This one is a little contentious actually – I *utterly* love this frock, it ticks boxes… Continue reading [Fashion] A Frock’s Tale (8) -Mumsy’s the Word…

Going to be honest, I’m not a ‘new year’ kinda gal. I used to be; to me the end of the year was something special, the putting away of the memories of a year gone and the preparation for a brand new slate to come. Problem is I’m a little mad when it comes to… Continue reading [Fashion] 2018 – a retro-retrospective

Season’s greetings and all that stuff. I’m in the process of settling down to a couple of days of self-indulgence (not that, you have an odd mind…) in the normal Xmas kind of way, good food, good alcohol, bad movies, open fires, no visitors (I have that luxury) and all the ‘trying to go up… Continue reading [Fashion] T’is the season to be… whoever

Again, sorry for being quiet – this time I had a valid reason, for a change. I may have mentioned that I’m an author, amongst other things, in drab-life. Well, I’ve been working on and published my fifth book this week, just in time for Xmas, so all of my writing energies have been directed… Continue reading [Fashion] Shop-shape and Feminine-Fashioned

I’ve literally just got back from the trek to London, it’s 01:23 in the morning, I’m somewhat (r.e. utterly) knackered after two massive sessions of Sarah time in London but I felt I needed and wanted to put up a quick blog post that is going to be somewhat different from the usual. Don’t worry,… Continue reading [Fashion] Selfies Satisfaction…

Right, after that little vent of the last blog post (written a good sixty minutes ago) I thought I’d steer myself back to the direction this blog was originally designed for, talking about gorgeous retro-frockage. And let’s do it with, what I think, are the best retro frocks out there at the moment. But a… Continue reading [Fashion] My on-going love affair with Vivien of Holloway….
