SINCE THE LOCKDOWN, clothing sales have reportedly dropped by 50%. While we’re not exactly in this statistic as we did order a few basics such as denim and underwear, but for the most part, we can believe that it’s true, for shopping has changed drastically over the past two or so months

With everyone excited about the new beginning after the pandemic, I wanted to share some styling ideas for this new start and what is left of spring ...
Spring's latest mini trend appears to boxy, oversized blazers over barely there sexy underthings: pretty little tops made of lace, elegant bustiers and even corsets for summer's golden days. Switch up the look with a cropped tank top or sports bra, or, if you like, while at home in quarantine, nothing at all...
I USED TO joke with P that This Is Glamorous began as the musings of a girl in her underwear. While that may not be strictly true (sometimes I wore track pants), the casual work-from-home attire did not mean that I did not get things done.
THE COTTAGE IS filled with vases overflowing with pink tulips on the bookcase, and pale pink roses on the desk in an effort to brighten things up, conjure up feelings of springtime. It's freezing outside and apparently snowing all over Britain, just not here.
WHILE WE'RE NOT adversed to a tracksuit and blazer combo or trainers with everything, one Mini Trend we're really excited about is the return to MODERN ROMANCE.

WHILE WE WERE INITIALLY apprehensive about the athleisure trend that has taken over fashion in the past few years, we've always loved creative ways of pairing comfy sweatshirts with more dressier counterparts ...
New York Fashion Week came and went with little fanfare. This time around, there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm for the affair.
Vanessa Friedman, the Fashion Director and Chief Fashion Critic for The New York Times expressed a similar sentiment in the article, “Marc Jacobs and the Ghosts of Fashion Past and Future.”
The article suggests a somber tone during fashion week. Friedman points out that it seemed to suffer from an identity crisis partially as a result from the loss of influence that New York designers once had over the fashion world.
“Camp taste is a kind of love, love for human nature. It relishes, rather than judges, the little triumphs and awkward intensities of 'character.' Camp taste identifies with what it is enjoying.
