Yes, they border on ugly, but Mukluk by Fitflop boots are the only boots that keep my feet toasty in these arctic conditions.

I’m really excited to talk to Claire of @nakedprgirl tomorrow on instagram live at 5pm. Tune in to hear about careers, fashion and business dressing. We met many years ago when I used to write a column for Mother & Baby magazine and Claire was PR for Mama’s and Papas. It feels like a lifetime ago now. Happy bank holiday! A x
I spotted this @woollyhoody wool felt hoody a while back. I am always cold but getting a little bored of cumbersome coats for walks - the solution? This brilliant pop-over style. It’s unisex so it fits me, my husband and my 14 year old. Although I have no intention of letting them use it. I’ve test driven it on long, blustery, dog walks and garden centre trips ( where we had to queue in the shade for 1/2 an hour) and it’s cosy and warm without ever being suffocating or sweat inducing. That’s the beauty of 100% pure wool. Temperature regulating and roomy this is going to be perfect for chilly evenings outside with friends, UK beach walks, and everything in between. I’m wearing the frosty grey colour but they’re available in bright pink, red and blue as well as dusky brown. I’m now thinking I might need one of their two tone snoods as well. It would jazz up my nocturnal park drinks and you can switch the colour round mid-evening. Oh, and there’s a sleeveless coat too. But let’s save that for autumn. X

Competition time! I thought we could all do with a bit of luxury and self-care to start the week so I have one Reggio @trudon candle to give away. This multi sell-out candle is 270g with a burn time of 65 hours, made in France and presented in a hand blown glass vessel with a stamped box. Named after the Southern Italian city of Reggio the scent evokes the mandarin trees that fill the Calabrian landscape and is finished with notes of grapefruit and mimosa. The competition ends this Friday at midday and I will announce the winner on Saturday 20th March on stories. To win simply:

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone. I would have loved to have been able to spend today with my mum, somewhere cosy with copious tea, cake and maybe an old black and white film. This will all have to wait but I shall cherish it so much when we are allowed to hang out. Roll on May 17th x
Just a sum up of the outfits from my video the other day. Bit of yellow and pink, yellow and grey, yellow and navy, burgundy and chocolate and tonnes of dressing like a Bourbon biscuit. Only 31 days to go until the shops reopen their doors. What are you going to buy or will you just go and have a browse? X
Supporting #strikeoutageism via @thebiascutboutique and @wellbeingofwomen on this international women’s day. Jacynth has been talking about reframing the language around how we refer to older women and also about how they feel. Crossing out the first two letters in Irrelevant, Invisible (as seen on my sweat) and other demeaning words and using them on clothing and bags. Words count.
On this IWD 2021 I want to say a huge thank you to all the women that have supported me. Their words have literally lifted me up. To my mum and family, school, uni, mum friends and work friends, to fabulous teachers (mostly female apart from two incredibly inspirational male history professors) and to a handful of motivational bosses through the years. And more recently endorsements from hugely successful fashion editors, journalists and industry leaders that I admire. They all believed in me and that gives a boost like nothing else can. I can still remember comments from primary school teachers that made me swell with pride or a motivational text from a school friend. Every little bit of encouragement helps. It gets embedded, it grows and you can remember those words when you’re not feeling your best or when things really aren’t going your way. And in the last few years I do think women are supporting other women more. I find Instagram a wonderfully positive space. I’ve made new friends here and discovered like minded souls.
It’s complicated being a woman. We worry way too much about what others think, we fear putting ourselves out there and as working mothers we have the least amount of time in which to help others outside the family. I hope that this tradition of sticking together, of cheerleading other women of all ages and helping out wherever we can - with no agenda - can continue apace.
Day of zooming called for easy shirt dress with attached tank top. and then a cardi - because it’s freaking freezing!! Had the heater literally inside my shoes x
