SUMMER STYLE ESSENTIALS YOU NEED IN YOUR WARDROBE

“The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you.” Coco Chanel

We all need some other (and lighter) things to occupy our days than the COVID-19 news. Summer is almost here and I’m looking forward to wearing my new, fresh pieces even if it’s just for my weekly Zoom meetings.

I thought I’d round up a few looks patiently waiting in my wardrobe! I’m very much looking forward to wearing these when we’re finally allowed to be outside again.

COTSWOLD’S LAVENDER FIELDS

“Forgiveness is the smell that lavender gives out when you tread on it” Mark Twain

If you have never seen the Cotswold lavender fields of, it’s a destination you need to add onto your bucket list once we can travel.

The Cotswold are known around the world as a classic view of the English countryside. I was so mesmerized by my first experience last year that I knew it would not be my only visit!

SPA AT HOME | RADIANCE RITUAL

‘Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood’. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our environment can play havoc with our complexion no matter what the season. Now with most of us staying indoors, a lack of fresh spring air, not drinking enough water and probably one too many glasses of wine can make our skin easily feel dull and dehydrated.

I’ve pulled together some fabulous tricks to help you make your new staying in a bit more fabulous. You’ll feel like you’ve had a Utopia Spa day in no-time!

GET FITTER WITHOUT LEAVING HOME

“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” Thomas Jefferson

There are really only two ways I can come out of this self-quarantine: super-ripped or in dire need of a diet. Guess what, no excuses, I’m definitely coming out ripped!
