Sam and I on the beach. 50 mph winds blowing, buffeting and blasting. Just us and one other crazy dog walker. Surprisingly exhilarating though. With your back to the wind it felt like being bombarded with hundreds of tiny pins. And when we got back in the car we all felt a bit weird- like we had motion sickness. Anyway, never a dull moment on a British summer holiday. Fingers crossed for some sun next! X
Hair is everything. Fleabag
Feeling light, bouncy and ready to tackle anything after an appointment with Lindzi @rockandfairyhair Even in 30 degree heat it’s a treat. Rock and Fairy is the perfect salon. Smiley staff ( sadly, not always a given) great hair massage, good chat, vintage tea cups and a super talented team of stylists. Thanks so much, Lindzi x
LBD for drinks in the garden this weekend. I’m loving this @cosstores dress. I nabbed it in the sale a few days ago. If you don’t belt it it’s a tent shape ( which is lovely in the heat) but I fancied that Dior look so I added a thick leather belt, et voila! It transforms. Plus it gives me an actual waist as the skirt is so full. As well as sweating profusely from my face my feet also swell up! So I opted for a simple one bar sandal in soft leather - which hid the cocktail sausage toes a bit. I may have had to take the belt down a notch after the 3rd glass of bubbly. I don’t think anybody noticed. What are you wearing for dressing up in the heat?
Is there a filter that will make me look browner? And I wonder if there is a remedy for excessive sweating of my upper lip? Anyway, a casual comfort look for a trip across the river to @hamhousent. Strolling amongst the hedges is wonderfully cooling: I do hope you’re all enjoying the heatwave x
Oh boy it was fun styling up this beaut of a parka. Easy, versatile, water resistant and expertly designed and made. It really is perfect. AND it’s coming in stone and black for autumn. Get one over on @marfastance where you can also read my interview with them. A x
Good morning! Here are a couple of shots of one of my gorgeous clients. Saime is petite and beautifully curvy. We recently shopped for ‘summer in the city’ (ahem, still hoping) outfits. Linen is perfect for hotter days as a natural fabric and one that breathes well. You have to accept the creasing aspect or look for a mix instead. This @cefinnstudio sleeveless shirt dress works well with chunky sandals, easy wedges or trainers if the weather’s not playing ball. And you can throw on a short jacket over it if needs be. The other looks are @maxmara leisure and @agnesb_officiel which look chic but relaxed. You can dress this up with a heeled sandal or slingback, or default to a slip on trainer or slide. We always have a giggle and Saime loves to cook so I get a baked gift too! A perfect day in my opinion x
We are back on! Tune in to see myself and the wonderful, brilliant, innovative Kate McGuire on her feed @convertedcloset this Thursday, 24th June, at 5pm. Grab a cuppa (or a G&T) and settle in to hear us discuss body shape, conversion and all things fashion. See you there! x
Saturday night garb. I love this look. The slouchy blazer, a black cape top, the sculpted and ruched skirt, sparkly hair jewels and stand out shoes. Three of these items were presents.: The top was from a client who is a real life explorer and conqueror of mountains, the hair clip was from my dear fashion friend, Kate Finnigan, and the shoes were from one of my local clients who is an utter delight. The fact that the pieces have stories and memories attached to them makes them more special. The shoes I had refurbished by @therestory_ and they did the most incredible job - but that’s another story.
I am finding that I only want to wear very specific pieces right now. I feel like I’d like to get rid of most of my clothes. Not so I will be running naked but just to jettison all the stuff. I feel the same about the house. I guess you always have what feels like a surplus of ‘things’ when you have kids but it feels oppressive. Perhaps it’s a post lockdown feeling? Anyone else feel the same?
