Can You Wear Cashmere In Spring And Summer?
Advertorial in collaboration with N.Peal I can’t be the only one that feels like those three or four days of lovely weather are all the summer we’re getting. The second we started thinking about our summer wardrobes, the second we were back to scarves and knitwear. This is the beauty of cashmere. I think a lot of people assume that you can only wear it in the autumn and winter months. That isn’t true at all. The fact cashmere is lightweight means that you can wear it throughout spring and summer too. N.Peal Spring Collection. I love N.Peal. It is THE go to place for luxurious cashmere.

The Rainbow Stripe Knit
Rainbow stripe knits have been a bit of a trend the past few years and that only seems to be getting bigger and bigger. I think spring is the perfect season to inject colour into your wardrobe and these jumpers do just that. Statement stripes in a range of vibrant hues are guaranteed to improve your mood and that’s exactly what we need after it feels like winter has dragged on for an age.

I find I spend much less money that way as you can guarantee I…

Handbag Dupes: Getting The Luxury Look For Less
My love of luxury grows but unfortunately the same can’t be said for my bank balance. I have been seeing Miss Pap popping up more and more on my social media so I thought I would take a look. While scrolling through the handbag section I was struck by how many of the bags had a luxury look. I really enjoyed putting together posts on finding designer dupes for Chanel, Gucci and Chloe so I thought I would put together another one for you. This post contains affiliate links. Luxury Look Handbags Gucci Look I feel like the Miss Pap Kinsley bag has taken serious inspo from the Gucci Dionysus…

It isn’t just about the start of a new season but everything begins to come alive in Spring. There are a few things I’m doing in preparation for the warmer weather to…

A Return To Exercise
If you’ve been here a while you will know that Life’s a Catwalk started out as a fashion and fitness blog. I used to be reasonably fit and loved exercise so it seemed obvious to combine that with my love of fashion. I tended to review workouts (like Sleek Technique) and sportswear (like Gymluxe). The only reason I stopped was because I felt there were other bloggers who did it better. I began to feel uncomfortable reviewing workouts when I’m not a professional. I also noticed a decline in my fitness level which coincided with leaving a physical job and spending all day sat at a desk. A return to…

The Wardrobe Investments I’m Making And Strategies To Afford Them
This post follows on from my piece on the Five Piece French Wardrobe. If you would like to find out more then head over to the post, but briefly it means I will be buying no more than 10 pieces over the course of the year. This means no more than five during spring/ summer and five over autumn/ winter. Any items I have my eye on will now become real investments. This rule is already causing me to give so much more consideration to clothes and accessories before purchasing. I feel like I’ve always given thought to any fashion purchases I make. Before buying I like to think of…

Before you start panicking that you can only have five items in your wardrobe, let me explain. The idea is that your wardrobe is made up of high quality basics. You can then buy five pieces each season, these can be statement…

How To Look Good On A Tight Budget
The festive period is long gone but so many of us are still feeling the effects to our bank balance. I don’t do New Year resolutions but I do feel the urge to clear out all the clothes I have no intention of wearing. If you haven’t done already make sure you check out my post on selling on Mercari to make some extra cash. Even with a little more money in my pocket from selling clothes I no longer want, I know I won’t be buying anything this month. I still want to look good even though I have a tight budget (or non existant budget) and I know…
