It could be that we are creeping closer to (whisper it) Christmas, but I can feel the need for gilt creeping up on me. About my person and my home. So I’ve been keeping my eyes open – because inspiration is everywhere. There’s no need to wait for Christmas – get gilding now.

Now your home is glittering, what of your person? We’ve said it before, but sparkle by day is always a good idea. (Think over-sized necklace teamed with denim shirt; sequinned skirt with over-sized grey cashmere sweater or white shirt).
Whilst I LOVE the excess of the dress above, on a day-to-day (or even evening to evening) basis, it helps to be able to dress it down. I love these sequinned tops from W&W favourites, Boden and The White Company (tune back in soon for our report from the fabulous Boden press day – or check W&W on Instagram for a preview).
