The season of knowing that, no matter how strange

The season of knowing that, no matter how strange or wobbly a week is, we will always have:
- Magnolia (and bluebell, blossom and daffodil season- and now PEONY SEASON TOO)!
- Garden picnics with best friends (grown up @gemmakatie and small) and being able to buy a big beef tomato and make a really fancy feeling lunch out of it (just throw on an enormous ball of cheese and some salt and oil, boosh)!
- Garden centres (there's a theme)!
- Good books (I'm currently reading this and it is so, so beautiful and wholesome).
- Good magazines by very, very talented friends @keeksreid (and fresh oranges to squeeze at home and ice cream sauce!!)
- Saturday cinema mornings at @everymancinema (ad/press ticket, but a favourite tradition of ours)!
- ...with Ken and Monkey
- Birthdays and cake with fabulous grandparents
- Day clothes so comfortable they could be pyjamas but aren't @speltham_ @fanclubclothing
- Giant easels AT garden centres! Magic!

Hormonal skin self consciousness to one side (sometimes I wonder if my skin will *ever* sort itself out); this evening I thought I'd share some of my favourite products I've been using lately and hand holding me through a bit of a wobbly skin time. Although the first cleanser is new to me (it is worth every. single. penny), these are products I've come back to again and again (this is the third @skinrocks retinol I've bought) and would do in a heartbeat. Skincare doesn't always come cheap and I know what an investment it can feel like, but I wholly trust these guys; come smooth days or spottier ones too. Also!! @sophieanneperry_ is the queen of the face massage (this was my mini measly attempt), so if you want some amazing videos to help with ways to make your hands (and products) work better- I always love her videos 🌞

Products are all below!
1st Cleanser: @sundayriley Aquamarine Cleanser
2nd Cleanser: @beautypie Happy Face
Serum: @larocheposay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Retinol: @skinrocks Retinoid 1 Vitamin A Serum
Moisturiser: @bobbibrownuk Vitamin Enriched Face Base

I was reminded of the first photo this week by the gorgeous @madewithcariad, one of the most beautiful small brands I follow; Emma creates beautiful sustainable womenswear that has a complete timelessness to it. I remember dragging @beatricerigby to the depths of south east London (if we can even call it that!) to snap one of her dresses, the Billie, and had the most gorgeous morning. With this app it's so easy to make your work, shoots and words you've poured so much love into, feel disposable- like they're shared and then disappear into the big collage of everything that is the internet! So, naturally I had a look at some of my favourite spring shoots and outfits over the last couple of years; the result of a disproportionate amount of moodboards, WhatsApp chatter (normally between @beatricerigby and @wishwishwish), train tickets and "shall we just try and swing on a tree?!" moments 🌞 one of my very favourite things to do!

They said it couldn't be done! She'd never make it

They said it couldn't be done! She'd never make it! But she did! Parked her denim collection to one side and found *the* best pairs of trousers (that are not jeans) out there.

I have left my indie-band frontman ways behind and have been aiming to create a wardrobe that could accommodate for more than just embracing my inner Springsteen and Fawcett and take me through to soft play, sofa slouching and days where softness comes first- so naturally I set to work scouring high and low for my edit of the best picks of trousers (that aren't jeans) out there!

There is not a stretchy-waisted stone that I have left unturned in order to find those that marry both cool and comfortable. Some seventies sailor jeans might still hold the key to my heart, but for the days when the top button is on the bench, I think I’ve found some good options. The full edit (and all outfit details) are linked in my bio and will be sent out via my newsletter- but here are 5 that I've been loving styling recently...

Pair 1: @lebonshoppe via @bristolgeneralstore
Pair 2: @speltham_
Pair 3: @wearetbco
Pair 4: @_beyond_nine
Pair 5: @nobodyschild

As the seasons change, much like my wardrobe, my breakfast routine (normally a gentle porridge to granola switcheroo) and my desire for wanting to go for a walk around the park during lunchtime opposed to tucking into an ITV quiz show; my make up bag also likes to have a happy quarterly refresh. This morning I’ve shared my spring picnic of current favourite products; from skin, scents, blushes and beyond that have brought a little bit of sunshine to my make up bag. There’s a link in my stories for a full blog run down of the most brilliant beauty I’m using right now 🌞🌼

Two years ago I met up with a man with newly dyed blonde hair, a smile that could light up a room and a knowledge of indie landfill so rich that meant whether we were on an awkward first date or cooking in the kitchen many months later; we'd never be short of songs to dance to or Foals trivia to (moderately) impress the other with. Anyway, I'm unsure whether an anniversary social media PDA is the done thing, but because this human is the very definition of sunshine it seemed like an easy excuse to get soppy on the internet (my fave pastime!!)

Maybe it's a strange thing to say but a while ago I read this that @ginamartin said (slide 3!) on @5teviem's newsletter (thank you Stevie and Gina for always making me laugh/smile) and it instantly made me think of Mike; because being with him feels like always having enough water in the kettle for a tea. I'm not even sure what that means in a romantic sense (certainly probably not your average compliment), but waking up with you every morning feels like joy. Like a half full kettle ready and waiting when your cup needs filling.

So happy birthday us @whyyouasking! I'm so glad I met the 'blonde haired Paddington loving man'. I can't wait for many many more DJ requests and dancefloor boogies.
