Today one of our sons is coming with his fiancée and I’ve prepared a nibbling pickey bits lunch!

Wearing my Apricot clothing maxi skirt and cream Kettlewell Cara v. Belt is a holiday purchase from somewhere in France I think and the stack of bracelets has been accumulated over a number of cruises!

Wearing more of my new The Jewellery Stop items to brighten my outfit. ❤️ 🧡

Happy Sunday ☔️🌧️

Yesterday, I took delivery of a selection of accessories from The Jewellery Stop. I love the beautiful colours in this resin jewellery which are fab to complete an outfit.

Wearing a Kettlewell tiered maxi skirt and top in Lobelia meant I could add these pieces.

I’ve already planned my outfit for tomorrow when it’ll be the reds/coral tones! 🤪

I’m slowly getting back into the routine and it definitely feels like a new term is beginning.

I remember having to return to school in the Autumn term wearing my winter uniform and it was always hot at the start of September. At least that’s how I remember it!

Perhaps that’s why I resist transitional dressing until October. I am however starting to overhaul my wardrobe. Any summer items that are unworn this year are definitely on the way out! I’m reviewing scarves, jewellery and handbags - the AW clothes can come later.

Conscious that I’ve been rather quiet on here over the last few weeks, I’m also now planning my content for the coming weeks.

And, if you’re feeling uninspired with your clothes, instead of buying new, why not consider a clothing and styling review. I recently did this with a client who said afterwards ‘the day was amazing and as always, I learned loads’.
My client had overhauled her existing wardrobe and discovered new combos and outfits! Get in touch to find out more. Available online or in person.

Some of you already know of the dark times last year when our extremely sick, 18 month old grandson Fin was admitted to the Kamran Ward at the JR hospital.

Kamran’s Ward is a Haematology & Oncology ward at the John Radcliffe Children’s Hospital in Oxford. It’s somewhere you think you’ll never have to visit because things like childhood cancer and rare blood disorders happen to others not you and your family. Until they do and in that moment, everything changes.

Fin continues to be treated by them on an ongoing basis although thankfully, his prognosis now looks more positive.

Now, one year later, our son Tom Peters, wants to give something back. Three weeks today, on Sunday 20th September Tom is running the Cheltenham half marathon to raise funds for the Kamran ward to help support the children being treated there, their families and the ward staff whose impact on families like ours is near on impossible to put into words.

Please sponsor and donate if you feel able.
It would mean so much 🙏❤️

Yesterday I succumbed to investigate the transitional
pieces in my nearby John Lewis at High Wycombe. Until
now, I’d resisted, still believing there’s another heatwave coming !!

Also, a lot of the colours I’d seen online were olive green or burgundy. Nice enough but not for me as a bright spring!

But there was no need to be worried that I’d have nothing to wear!! As if!!

I’ve always liked denim and there’s plenty of it this year. On arriving at the fashion department, I was immediately struck by the bursts of bright red too. Not dull or bluey red (sorry winters & summers) but bright vibrant tomato red🍅.

Mint Velvet have excelled for AW26 and even John Lewis & Partners own brand has lots to tempt!

Here’s a selection of these glorious pieces❤️

Hello August!!

Reflecting on July, I've taken time to appreciate the glorious sunshine and enjoyed wonderful family time at Centre Parcs.

Not a fan of temps at 35F+, I love linens and the opportunity to waft around in wide leg trousers, maxi skirts & camisole tops, maxi dresses and sandals.

Easy to wear outfits to stay cool! That's my kind of dressing and this year, I've added to my linen collection. I've bought new maxi skirts and wide leg linen trousers from Kettlewell Colours, MINT VELVET and Amazing Woman. These are favourite Brands and the ones I search on Vinted.

I bought a lovely woven bag from John Lewis & Partners and another from a visit to The Style and Colour Academy.

My new additions have mainly been funded from selling clothes I no longer chose to wear ... or those that don't fit!!

Soft yellow has featured along with neutral creams and a couple of white pieces. In the summer, when my complexion has colour, I bend the guidelines and include white because I like the colour!

Nothing else new for me. Yes, you heard it here !! Nothing else new. This Natural Romantic has reached the point where my summer wardrobe is complete.

My aim every day is great colour to suit my mood and flatter my Spring skintone, flattering comfortable fit and styling, coupled with appropriate accessories.

Are you the same? Have you bought extra summer pieces this year?

I wasn’t going to post but there is so much comment about Marie-France van Heel’s outfit on Monday.

We expected Andy Burnham to switch up a gear to shirt & tie from his usual dark tee but it seems all eyes were on his wife’s choice of outfit.

On arrival at Buckingham Palace, my immediate reaction was how fabulous she looked. Such an occasion requires careful wardrobe choice and I thought Marie-France van Heel had got it spot on.

Wearing a Victoria Beckham designed floaty midi dress in a pastel blue, n**e sling back shoes from Office, and silver coloured accessories including hair clip, I thought she looked naturally elegant.

My guess, as I’ve no accurate knowledge, is that she has a summer season palette and suits an ingenue style. As I say, it’s only a guess.

I liked the fact she presented herself as an independent stylish lady, wearing her own outfit choice and not opting for the traditional party colour of Red.

I’m already a fan, having spotted her on Saturday at her husband’s declaration in a mint green lace top & skirt from M&S.

What do you think? Are criticisms of the choice of outfit on Monday fair or like me, do you find her own choices refreshing?

Last day of granny duties before the summer holidays! Yay! I do feel rather like it’s the end of term for me too 🥳
And it’s not as hot so I’ve chosen a colourful Albaray skirt and my soft yellow Kettlewell tee.
Not too many accessories just my usual bracelets, earrings, necklace and watch. Practical comfort being the priority!!
Have a great Tuesday whatever you’re doing x
