Okay, I’ve got FOUR brands I’ve just discovered in the last week or so, all of which I bloody love. You know when you get genuinely excited by something? I love that feeling: the have to haves! I’m going to break them down for you and give you one at a time, I sometimes worry things get lost with too much product overwhelm and too much to read in here (I know I like a natter).

Hola! Shall I begin by addressing the elephant in the (online) roomā€¦ some of you may follow me on Instagram and have seen this, but I had to bite the bullet and let the world (I laugh, my 63k social following) in on a little surprise whilst I was awayā€¦ Since I always love to share some holiday looks, itā€™s far too obvious not to mention Iā€™ve got a tiny sea creature along for the ride! Mermaid or merman due August.

You know of Tekla, right? The Danish brand of cool, contemporary striped towels. In those perfect, paired back colour combo’s. I always think of them for their towels (probably as I’ve wanted some since forever) but there’s bedding, robes, PJ’s - everything you want to lounge in comfort in, in striped perfection. I LOVE them, but they’re far too pricey for me (I cannot / will not ever want to spend hundreds on towels)… That is a great Tekla blue mind. But, £100 for ONE bath sheet size towel.

Hola! I may be Spain side when this goes out, so I’ll keep this intro short-n-sweet. Enjoy this little mix of those bits and bobs from my brain, all of great importance, obviously, when are pretty, charming (hint there) things not? Look out for the fish charm! And the turquoise. The brand going from strength to strength. The holiday reads I’ve got with me. The looks-designer-skirt for £80. And dress for that matter, for £30! And the best sale buy bikini - I can confirm it is the perfect green. Sigh.

Hello! I’m back with a gawjus little SUMMER SALE , which will go up on my Instagram stories later today… B WARNED THINGS GO FAST! But first… HOW IT WORKS - have a quick read for Sample Sale rules :) ** Items will all be posted tomorrow and I’ll email you with your tracking number. * International postage is possible but I will need to charge extra for this (£20 EU, £28 US / AUS). Currently full price online here. New without tags (worn once!).

If you still lust over this Mary-Kate Olsen look from the 2013 Met Gala (yep, I’ve loved this Balmain kimono for 13 years) you’re going to DIE FOR this silky satin bag brand I’ve just discovered. If I used AI to add one on MK’s arm here it would not look out of place. Actually, I’m now noting if you look at her bag peeping out the left hand it looks all wrong with this ensemble, a black patent croc?

Shopping Secrets What else would we have this week? Those HIGH summer, HIGH impact pieces I cannot resist. Scrapping summer make up? Me too, I’m sharing my skincare glow givers. It’s too hot to do anything right now (how the hell did London hit 34 degrees earlier this week) and it’s too bright to sit outside and read anything on your phone.

The articles I've saved / to refer to again and again / to sit down and devour properly. Covers: Ganni girls, no kids at 39, good hair, suitcase diaries. PLUS, some summer shopping from me for you! Welcome to this week’s read.

Hola! Here’s my little update from the week - says it all in the subtitle really! This really is like a mini magazine don’t you think? I love that! If I do say so myself. Nothing like a little self belief sometimes… especially considering my other project I mentioned to you months ago is taking longer than I anticipated (and proving trickier with production/finding small suppliers. But, hopefully, I’ll start revealing more in the next couple of months).

Essentially this post pretty much does what it says on the tin (or rather, title): “Summer styles I love for looks to recreate”. Isn’t imitation the greatest form of flattery? I wouldn’t say I ever downright copy someone else’s style, but we all get inspiration from somewhere (multiple sources) don’t we. I might want a certain pair of shoes I’ve seen on someone, to team with a look already in my wardrobe, or I might love a colour combo and look to recreate that with what I already own.
