a day at wimbledon with häagen-dazs

1th July 2016
Ali and I arose early yesterday morning to catch a train down to London for a day at Wimbledon Centre Court, coming from a family of keen tennis players (I played tennis before I even laced up my ballet shoes) I was eager to arrive. We were lucky enough to be attending with Häagen-Dazs, one of Ali and I’s favourite treats. This year marks their first year as the Official Ice Cream of The Championships and sees them launch their #LoseYourself campaign, in Celebration of The Championships most intense moments. What’s more, they’ve also unveiled the new Strawberries & Cream Stick bar, which will be exclusively sold on-site and in Selfridges stores. Ali and I were lucky enough to be among the first people in the UK to try it on Monday morning! As a “Wimbledon Newb” I was excited to experience it all for the first time. From the stunning flower arrangements which adorn almost every inch of the grounds to the intense and nail biting atmosphere during Play across the many courts. Inspired by the iconic Strawberries & Cream I channelled the colour scheme by wearing a bright white collarless dress with statement pink suede Gucci heels for the day a head. It is impossible to stay calm and collected whilst watching the games. Häagen-Dazs is rifht when they describe those intense moments of play as #LoseYourself moments whether seated on the grass of ‘Murry Mound’ watching the games on the live screen or sat amongst the thick of it all at Centre Court the atmosphere is electric. The roar of the crowd as Federer entered the court was infections and I too found myself lost in the moment as I jumped up from my seat and cheered. As silence falls for the first serve of what would be an […]

The roar of the crowd as Federer entered the court was infections and I too found myself lost in the moment as I jumped up from my seat and cheered. As silence falls for the first serve of what would be an intense game between Roger Federer and Guido Pella, I worried that my excited breath from Gangway 307 might be able to put of the players. I was hooked and completely within the moment and as I looked around me so was everyone else even Pippa Middleton who Ali cleverly spotted was engrossed by the match that went on to finish 7-6, 7-6, 6-3 to Federer, of course.

I’d love to know what makes you #LoseYourself about the Wimbledon Tournament and don’t forget to visit the Häagen-Dazs pop up in the stunning Selfridges Food Hall to try the Häagen-Dazs Strawberries & Cream Stick Bar from Monday 27th to Sunday 10th July.

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!
