Half term mountain air, my birthday & spring trainer fever...

I hope you’ve all had a great week so far - many on half term I would imagine, which I am too, so I’m writing from the mountains with my boys where we’ve been skiing and eating and laughing like lunatics. And it was my birthday yesterday so feel extra spoiled this week.

I really feel like we’re on the downhill (excuse the pun) to Spring now that half term is out of the way, although I still love a bit of winter layering all the way to … summer! But I’m feeling the need for a bit of a freshen up in the wardrobe department. Where to start? With colourful new trainers, of course. I’ve selected 9 of my best in this edition. It was hard to choose as there are SO many goodies out there now - but there’s something for everyone - classics, super colourful, a bit of leopard…

I also share 5 things I’m loving (from the new fashion collab to get excited about to another beautiful garden book to my favourite thing to wear on & off the slopes); and I answer this week’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ question (all about what I’d tell my 20-something-self which seems quite apt this week).

If you’re outside this weekend, do find some snowdrops for a petite arrangement and perhaps a little moment to yourself (see my YouTube how-to below).

Happy Friday!

Colour, sunshine & birthday cake!


5 things I’m loving…

1. The Magic of Flowers

A mini mindful moment with snowdrops and snake’s head fritillary for our second episode of The Magic of Flowers over on YouTube. I hope you’re enjoying them and would love to hear how you get on if you’re recreating at home…

2. A new collab to obsess over!
