Trying on Adidas Joggers and Shorts!

Trying on Adidas Joggers and Shorts!

I ordered a load of Adidas jogging bottoms and shorts because I suddenly had the urge to wear something other than massively oversized maternity trousers when I'm working from home. When I'm going to be sitting at my desk for hours, I invariably want something...

Trying On M&S Clothes

Trying On M&S Clothes

I spent much of September dashing in and out of my local M&S to buy bits and pieces for the seaside cottage, which will be available to rent for holidays from approximately the year 2032. (At this rate. Cutlery, linen, pots and pans, butter dishes and tea towels,...

Autumn Dresses 2021 – how to style for daytime wear

Autumn Dresses 2021 – how to style for daytime wear

I've been experimenting with ways of getting more use out of the sorts of autumn dresses I'd usually "save for best". Dresses that I'm happy to invest in, because they are more often than not bought for a work event or a special occasion, but that then tend to sit...

TRYING ON HUGE HUSH CLOTHING HAUL

TRYING ON HUGE HUSH CLOTHING HAUL

On my continuing mission to find the perfect denim shorts I ended up doing a huge Hush shop. In this video I try on all of the Hush clothing (no real recollection of ordering quite so much so must have had heat exhaustion or something). Took bloody ages! All the items...

Hush Homewear Try-On: Spring 2020

Hush Homewear Try-On: Spring 2020

You know the drill with these, by now: it's a real-time (ish) try-on of my latest clothing order, this time from perennial favourite, Hush Homewear. It wouldn't really have been such a big order, but I have to get everything in both a size 10 and 12, because I sit...

Soft AF: Trying on the Basics

Soft AF: Trying on the Basics

I did an Abercrombie & Fitch order last week because the knees had gone through on my favourite skinny jeans. To be quite honest with you, I'm no longer sure that superskinny jeans are really the best cut for me anymore, but they seem to be the only jeans made...

My Zara Crazy-Sleeve Shopping Try-On

My Zara Crazy-Sleeve Shopping Try-On

I ordered a load of stuff with crazy sleeves from Zara. I haven't completely lost the plot; I wanted some interesting ruffles and puffs to add a bit of pizazz to some makeup videos I want to film. I wanted something sculptural, almost, because one of the videos is...

My Almost-Forty Sartorial Wishlist

My Almost-Forty Sartorial Wishlist

It's quite rare, these days, that an outfit will make me feel truly great. Great with no caveats. Great "but also I don't have to worry about my dress flying up in the wind" or great but "also I don't have to worry about my middle button popping off where my gut has...

Ruth Tries (Multiple) Trends

Ruth Tries (Multiple) Trends

Just a quick one (ooh err!): last week I took a lot of fashion pictures for Instagram Stories, loved them all, realised they were kind of wasted on a platform that makes things disappear forever after a mere twenty-four hours and decided to post them on here so that...

Ruth Tries Trends: The Boilersuit

Ruth Tries Trends: The Boilersuit

I fear I'm late to the party with the boilersuit trend. Praise be, frankly, because they all look dreadful on me. I can't see what all the fuss is about - even when they don't look outrageously unflattering they still make a lot of people look like a Super Mario...

The Eating Dress

The Eating Dress

Rejoice, rejoice, the Emanuelle dress from Hush is - I can declare - the perfect garment for eating in. And I don't mean any old eating, obviously; eating is rarely an act that's impeded by your clothing.  You can eat in virtually anything, really, except for a...
