New, sale, bargains or the bin… you decide. These are some pieces i found in my last trip to M&S that either made it home or to the dressing room. If any brand is really on top of design at the moment, it's M&S. This is not just clothes, this is M&S clothes.

It’s only taken what feels like 365 months for the sun to finally show its face this year, but it’s here this weekend (and hopefully here to stay 🌞) ASOS is full of inspiration right now, so I’ve curated a mix of pieces to help you build your ideal summer wardrobe, with a subtle 90s influence woven in as it’s the style I can’t get enough of at the moment. Think easy shorts, relaxed trousers, effortless dresses, and plenty of versatile staples, with something to suit every kind of summer mood ✨ Fair warning, a few of these may or may not already be sitting in my basket 👀 and I’ll definitely be adding more as new pieces drop. What’s one summer trend you just can’t get on board with this year?

Inspired by the iconic style of the 90s, this list is a curated edit of pieces I’ve been eyeing (and a few I may have already added to basket 👀) from this season’s best online retailers. Think effortless cool, nostalgic silhouettes, and modern takes on vintage trends, perfect for refreshing your summer wardrobe. From long, camouflage shorts and oversized shirts to relaxed denim and minimal accessories, these are the items capturing that laid‑back 90s aesthetic I’m loving right now. ✨ Which era are you hoping makes a comeback next?

Consider this my “think before you buy” edit ✨ I’ll be adding pieces I’m currently loving and letting them sit here for a while giving myself time to pause, reflect, and decide if I truly want them before purchasing. They’ll most likely be sitting in my online shopping baskets too, but this at least encourages me to slow down and think it through. A mindful mix of temptation and intention, all in one place… in the hope it might save me a little money (and maybe inspire you to do the same).

May this be the month you finally snap up those pieces you’ve been thinking about since i showed you them on my instagram! This features everything I’ve shared on Instagram throughout May, along with a few extras I’ve been eyeing (and very tempted to add to basket). Where I couldn’t find the exact pieces, I’ve included the closest alternatives so you can still recreate the look. A mix of inspiration, wish‑list finds, and almost-purchases all in one place. What's not to like? P.S. How is it May already?!

How are we already in April?! 🌷 At least it finally feels like spring… In this list you’ll find all the pieces I’ve worn, bought, or shared on my Instagram throughout the month. Plus close alternatives where items are now sold out. A mix of real outfits, recent finds, and spring staples I’ve been loving lately ✨

A round-up of everything I’ve worn, spotted, or saved throughout March ✨ You’ll find links to the exact pieces where available, along with close alternatives for anything that’s now sold out, so you can still recreate the look. A mix of current favourites, new finds, and everyday style inspiration all in one place.

This month's pieces as worn by me (or similar to ones worn by me) on my instagram and Tiktok. I've tried to find the closest matches where possible for those that aren't available anymore.

Pieces I've worn throughout January, as seen on my Instagram @lisahelengarner. If I can't find the piece anymore, I'll link a close alternative I can find!

The top pick items I've seen in various sales online. Some I've bought, some I wish I'd bought, some I love but won't suit me. Sharing's caring! Which are you going for?

Here are the pieces featured on my Instagram and TikTok this December. Some of them are older, so I’ve put together a few great alternatives to make sure you’re not disappointed!

These are pieces curated in my wardrobe and (mostly) items i'm using in my “No Spend November” series on insta, so if there's anything you liked over there i've tried to link it here. The cold is upon us, and so are your new favourite autumn pieces. Hop on in and find your next cozy knit, versatile jacket or even a cute accessory. Handpicked looks from high street brands that will refresh your wardrobe with autumn energy.

Inspiration to bundle up in style this festive season with outfit ideas that balance cozy comfort and effortless chic. Textures, pops of colour and most importantly, warm layers.

The sections here breakdown an item or piece I believe to be a staple that everyone should have in their wardrobe. Outfits then built on from these.

The beauty, the grace, the gall of these items to be out there and not in my wardrobe! A little collection of pieces I think are stunning, but I've not indulged in yet. Which are you adding to your wishlist?

Loved that velvet dress from day 15 of the no spend November challenge? Yeah, me too. Sadly it's a few years old so I've collated a list of close alternatives to suit different styles, including mini's, maxi's and none dress options too. Enjoy!

A Christmas velvet dream, two options of it at least. Listed here are two Christmas morning outfits i'd love to wear (I don't own, but i love the brands) styling a pair of gorgeous velvet trousers two ways. Pick your favourite!

The embarrassing pile beside my bed, gathering dust. Those things I always say I'll get round to, but don't quite make the time. Let's make time! Let's start travelling the worlds of fiction.

From flying wyverns in the Ferian Gap, to finding murderers in the Yukon wilderness or even maybe falling in love over a hot cup of coffee. Something for everyone.

A dreamy little collection of the things I’m secretly (okay, not so secretly) hoping Santa drops under the tree—beautiful books to get lost in, cozy clothes and chic accessories to elevate my everyday outfits, and a sprinkle of anything else that simply catches my eye. From thoughtful treasures to indulgent treats, it’s all here. Honest, Santa… I’ve been very good this year! 🎁✨

Skincare favourites through the years, i've tried and tested quite a few now and these are my top picks. I have, and fear i always will be, still searching for a good eye cream. Recommendations welcome.

Imagine a colour drenched lounge, in a dark mustard yellow. I'm aiming for moody, warm wood, hints of green to melt this room into the garden.
