I’m never fully dressed without a gold hoop. I don’t know what it is about these treasures but they’ve become a steadfast part of my everyday wardrobe, small hollow suns which hang from my ears. If sentences were dressing, they’d be the full stop - the final moment and finishing touch. What a quiet joy it is to wear the things we love. ✨

{ad: press sample @revethelabel}. Here’s wishing you as peaceful a weekend as possible, whether that’s with bare feet on warm grass or splayed out next to a window with the fan working overtime. I’m about to go and stretch my legs before coming back to my desk to finish off for the afternoon. I’ve just checked the weather app and there’s a strong chance of Sauvignon.. 🌞🙃

There is something so special about unexpected gif

There is something so special about unexpected gifts from friends. Little expressions of devotion, suddenly realised with a knock at the door. Acknowledgement and visibility: I care about you and I’m thinking of you.

Love, in these cases, isn’t found in the stems of beautiful blooms or the crumbs gathered in the corners of chocolate boxes (although those final few bites should be cherished). It’s in the time. The understanding that another person, however many miles away and with however many gripes and grudges of their own, has for a moment thought, “I want them to feel happiness.” And while the gift is beautiful - welcomed with open arms and the obligatory ‘*gasp* who sent this?!’ - the actual gift is understanding something much deeper. That someone you love loves you in return, and they keep space for you always, every day, even amidst the chaos of 2020 life, enough to want to make you make you smile just for the sake of it. I think that’s pretty special.

Thank you @camsantosss for my flowers. Love you forever. ❤️

Simple is my M.O. when it comes to dressing for the sun. I want it light, loose and definitely not grey, because as an inherently clammy person (my sexiest trait, I’m sure you can agree), I know all too well that hot days and grey marl do not mix. 🙃

Simple to me very often equates to comfort and I’m a comfort dresser before anything else. Park dates, beach visits, hot holidays with boat loads of cold wine: all envisioned with meticulously crafted outfits, all met with something much simpler. And flat shoes, of course. Maybe a sandal if I’m feeling glamorous.

Here’s to summer simplicity and letting ya limbs breathe. 💃

Yesterday I spent my afternoon cleaning. Like, wri

Yesterday I spent my afternoon cleaning. Like, write a long list of every chore imaginable and tick tick tick as I bumble my way through it - that kind of cleaning. I watched shit TV while I did so and drank water and took my vitamins and tried to lean into the sun whenever I was near a window. There was a yawn’s stretch of peace amidst the fresh air and bleach.

Spring cleaning is mental preservation. There’s nothing like a global pandemic to make you feel entirely devoid of control and as a person who likes to be prepared, I have to give myself the little victories where I can. And at the moment, writing a long list of corners to clean and cupboards to tidy and veggies to grow is what those little victories look like to me.

Plus the smell of a freshly-mopped Zoflora floor? Sign me up.

Anyway, I just wanted to send a little reminder that there will be peaks and troughs in this post-apocalypse (lol I’m exaggerating (or am I because it does kinda feel like that)) so grant yourself peace where you can. Don’t forget the basics: take care of your space, your skin, your mind and your plants, get off your phone, read something and watch something crap on catch up (can’t stop watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills SOMEONE HELP). Cook if you enjoy it, bake if you don’t. And make sure you take a nap at some point because we’re not trying to be superheroes at the moment, the burn-out is not necessary. ✌️

AD ✨ Introducing the latest member of the @theis

AD ✨ Introducing the latest member of the @theisleofparadise family: HYGLO Face and Body! This Hyaluronic Acid serum is infused with gradual tanner to not only deliver an instant hit of moisture, but to develop a gradual glow too. I think this might be my new favourite formula of the IOP line-up, especially for summer. The texture is lightweight and absorbs really easily, making it comfortable to wear during the day and in the heat, and since it’s a gradual tanner, you can use it in place of your usual moisturiser or as a little top-up mid week. Just follow the basic rule of more drops = deeper tan. And always wash your hands! Like IOP’s other products, HYGLO is vegan, cruelty free and enriched with their signature complex of avocado, chia seed and coconut oil. A little bottle of do-it-all goodness. Swipe up from my stories to shop from @bootsuk for £5 off until July 1st. #IsleOfParadise #OwnYourGlow
