the illusion of longer legs

9th October 2015
Faux Leather pants & Chelsea boots, today I’m channeling my very best attempt at off-duty model chic, albeit a vertically challenged one. It’s no secret here that throughout my teens I longed to be a model so I was constantly on the prowl for ways to make myself appear taller. I have become so well trained in the art that now when I meet people they are shocked by my 5.7″ stature. But this little paring really is my little secret to elongated legs; form fitting black denim tucked straight into a pair of seamless luxe boots. The denim of choice is a coated pair of high-waisted jeans from the current Missguided collection available online. The high waist line elongates my legs upwards whilst the seamless join of the denim to the boots draws the eyes right to the floor. So whilst that has the height issue covered the faux leather effect with cold silver zips brings the effortlessly cool rock & roll edge and the embroidered fabric of this high quality floral bomber injects a little extra femininity, knot a crisp white tee for good measure. I’ve had denim worth hundreds of pounds and I’ve had denim thats worth £10 and to be perfectly honest I’ve never regretted the latter. The fit of a pair of jeans is not determined by it’s price and the selection currently of amazing fitting denim available online at Missguided is enough to kit you out with an entire wardrobe full for the price of a premium pair. Expect to see a lot more of these rock & rollers this Winter.   This post is in collaboration with collaboration with RewardStyle but all opinions & shopping habits are very much my own.

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!
