It's my birthday!

Happy Friday! How has your week been?

It’s my birthday today! Another year older and actually I do feel a little wiser. A birthday does come around quickly doesn’t it? And a February half term birthday feels quite grounding I suppose you could say! Despite rotating dentist appointments, GCSE revision supervision, muddy sports kit and dodging the rain, I do feel very lucky to be at home with all my boys - dreaming up plans for warmer days en famille and a very exciting collaboration I’m working on for summer!

To share some birthday joy, I’m giving a 20% discount on annual subscriptions to The Seedling until the end of the month (next Saturday, 28 February). I do hope you’ll join us…

In this week’s dispatch - a bumper birthday edition with everything on my birthday wish list and what I’m loving right now (think trainers, jewels, flowers, interiors, books, skincare & more!)…

Keeping warm, red & stripes are just some of my forever loves! Here I’m wearing an old Jigsaw coat, a Uniqlo hat and Anya Hindmarch bag…

The Trainers

I got these trainers for my birthday and they are making me so happy. I’m not sure why; I’m not really a leopard print person. But they’re a very gentle, milky leopard. Which I do like. And the laces are a very chic dark green. And they’re a samba which are nice and roomy and squishy.
