I hope you’ve had a good week so far?

September feels in full swing and as I write, my youngest if finally back in school! It did feel like the longest ever summer holiday and I’m now really very ready for routines again.

I went to the new Wiggy Kit store on Elizabeth Street on Tuesday to celebrate their Autumn Winter collection. As always, I wanted the majority of the pieces on the runway but restrained myself and came home with just this jumper; not especially exciting but I know I will live in it. These coats also had my name on them…

This week I’m talking about the little updates - the perfect raincoat and little everyday comforts we need now the days are getting shorter.

I am also SO excited to give you, my paid subscribers, the low down on my new launch (officially launches next Tuesday) below. I feel like it’s been YEARS in the making and so I’m very excited to tell you all about it!

In this week’s dispatch - my new launch, rainy day essentials, time to get organised and what’s on telly …

Happy weekend!

Rainy Days

Yes, we’ve had a few this week and gosh isn’t it satisfying seeing everywhere slowly turning green again, almost in front of our eyes. It’s such a joy to relish rather than lament it for once; I know before long we’ll go back to moaning about it, but for now, I feel like a fed-up farmer wanting to do a rain dance in my garden! I do keep getting caught out though (need a new stripey umbrella!) and none of my coats are actually waterproof and my usual coats are too heavy for this trans-seasonal weather so I have my eye on these…

Operation Tidy

Makeup House

After two months of school holidays, the clutter and chaos at home is at an all-time high. Which is entirely expected. I don’t have the energy or inclination to spend all day tidying when the boys are home, and I’d got quite used to living in an organised mess.

Now they’re back, though, I’m craving order like never before. I want clean lines and military organisation. I don’t want the enormous Vinted selling pile to be the first thing I see every morning. I want my jumpers neatly stacked in the cupboard and to be able to find my trainers when I need them.

So this weekend I'm going to make a start. I found this pretty seagrass organiser this morning which will make the perfect little house for my makeup. And then for the fridge, these Tupperware. I’m so embarrassed to admit how excited these made me in the shop. Do you get it?!

Introducing (drum roll…!)

Ok, so here it is, we officially launch on Tuesday (you can purchase then) but I wanted to tell you all about it beforehand…
