nude in paris

21th April 2015
Typical, as soon as I feel like I’ve really got my winter wardrobe on point. The sun comes out and the temperature rockets. Did it actually hit 24 degrees last week? I’m moaning but I love it really, it’s just an excuse to go shopping, as if I’ve ever needed an excuse. A huge part of my Spring/Summer wardrobe has always been jersey basics. But don’t let the name fool you, they are anything but basic. The fit, fabric, weight and neckline are all important things to consider before digging deep and just like handbags and shoes I think that sometimes to get all those things right you might need to spend a little more, or so I thought. I love surprises, maybe its the kid in me. But when something isn’t expected and leaves people open mouthed it gives me a sort of satisfaction. Like when I tell people about a bargain handbag I nabbed on ebay. This is how feel about this outfit. The t-shirt sits perfectly, the blazer cuts the most flattering silhouette and the jeans bring a little rock and roll to the look, all for under £75. And as I type this from the lobby of Hotel Costes in the Centre of Paris I kinda feel like no-one would even notice that my jeans cost £10 and my t-shirt cost £8. T-shirt – Missguided     Jeans – Primark (similar here)     Blazer – Topshop     Shoes – Chloe (similar inspired pair here)     Bag – Gucci     Watch – The Fifth     Belt – Gap

    Can we be friends

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
