What It's All About

I am a woman in my early 20's, on an average salary that disappears on bills, rent, food...GONE! However, I still manage to keep on top of fashion trends; in fact it's a passionate obsession. I pound the high street in heels hunting for the ultimate fashion find. I have fashion magazines glued to my hands, a costly fixation with handbags and a belief that accessories are the base for any outfit...yes; I will plan an entire outfit around a new watch, earrings or ring! So, my reason for starting a blog? I have to share all my top tips and fabulous finds with someone! My boyfriend seems somewhat un-interested in all this. I always have something I want to shout about, so be prepared! Signing off. BB x

The Hectic Hat Hunt






Every year I buy a hat, don't wear it and then next winter wonder why I don't have a hat on! Bonkers! I bet this happens to a lot of you. Some of us try so hard to wear a hat and for some reason we fail miserably. Some of my friends look awesome in hats but whenever I put one on I seem to look like a boiled egg trying to keep warm . What's so wrong with my head that it can't look good in a hat?
So, off I go...again...on a questionable search for a hat that will not only look fabulous, it will improve me as a human being and I will become part of the happy hat wearing elite. Everywhere I went! I tried on beanies, bakerboys, trilbies, chullos, bobble hats....and nope. Red, green, blue, pink, orange, brown, black, purple, animal print, sequined, beaded....and nope!
I almost bought one but thought will I really wear it? Or will it only sit sadly amongst all the other unworn head attire?...then it dawned on me....
What have I been raving about for quite sometime?...what do I wear everyday?...what do I NEVER leave the house without?....My SNOOD!! And what is the whole point of the snood? The fact that it doubles up as a hood. I've already had my "hat" all along, right under my nose and it looks brilliant. BB x
