New • Beginnings 💚
•
Green for May regeneration and hope as our world begins to open up again 🍃
•
We can see more variations of green than any other colour. Our eyes take no adjustment to see it as it sits right in the centre of the colour spectrum, inducing feelings of harmony and tranquility. @karen_haller_colour writes about the reassuring properties of green in her fascinating Little Book of Colour and explains how this links to our primeval ancestors who associated green with food, water and shelter 💚
•
Unsurprisingly green is a key #fashioncolour this Spring reflecting new life and new beginnings
•
A happy throwback photo here of my beautiful @liliaagreen on her second April #lockdownbirthday complete with the one and only original @marksandspencer Colin cake 🐛
•
Wearing one of my top #ss21 pieces in light fresh green the sustainably sourced @phaseeight Diana floral midi dress. Uplifting in colour, delightfully flowy (with pockets 🙌) and gathered under the bust to give a great shape. I love it with white trainers or ankle boots, with a white tee underneath for extra warmth and a denim jacket layered over the top. It would look equally fab with a block heeled sandal and fascinator for a summer wedding 👰
•
Do you have a favourite green? 💚
•
If you’re itching to discover your perfect green match, (and your entire perfect colour palette) it might just be the time to book a #personalcolouranalysis with me! 🌈
•
Have a happy BH Monday and here’s to a great week ahead 😘

Hoorah for #denimjacket season! 🙌
•
This wonderfully versatile perennial comes into it’s own again as Spring temperatures are on the up🌞
•
An absolute hero piece, the denim jacket improves with age and offers fab #costperwear . It toughens up and dresses down a floral midi, gives a classic finish to a white tee and joggers and provides a useful extra layer over a hoodie for outdoor drinks 🥂
•
Angular body shapes rock an oversized jacket. Curvy ladies look great in shorter versions, softened with wear, that give a waist shape. As a petite my favourite type of jacket has neat proportions and small pockets. Turning up the sleeves improves the fit and gives that relaxed, on-trend vibe (win win 🤣)
•
This fabulous @marksandspencerfashionpr version is still going strong after 15 years 😊 and I absolutely love it 😍I’m wearing it here with my #newseason @phaseeight Tana leaf print skirt and @nextofficial ankle-boots
•
If you’re partial to a soupçon of creative embellishment on a denim jacket pop over to my lovely friend Katherine’s @diviningstyle @diviningstylecustomised accounts to see her inspiring be-spoke pieces 🌹
•

Hope you have a lovely day and here’s to happy week ahead! 😘

Happy new week lovely friends! 😘
•
My #personalshopping service is back!
•
It’s marvellous to be able to take my lovely clients out again for #newseason wardrobe additions. There’s nothing more uplifting for me than taking the worry out of #postlockdown dressing, helping my ladies find special occasion, #staycation and #backtotheoffice outfits 🙌
•
My own top #springsummer2021 purchase so far has to be my @phaseeight Fleur white leather trainers, worn here with my past season orange @tkmaxxuk hoodie and past season @marksandspencerfashionpr bags and jeans. The trainers are beautifully comfy, pleasantly chunky and work equally well with trousers and ditsy print midaxis. Gotta love ‘em! 😍
•
What’s your favourite lockdown breakout piece? 🤔
•
Hope you have a fab day! 😘

Powering • On 💙
•
Well it’s the end of lockdown 2, new tiers and the excitement of the first Covid vaccine rollout next week .....
•
A #newnormal positive for me has been rediscovering running (or in my case pedestrian jogging, marginally faster than a speedy walk 🤣)
•
The absolute best aspect of this , apart from those endorphins, is seeing my cavapoo Duende cavorting next to me, chasing squirrels with ballistic abandon 😄
•
How great would it be to tap in to just a smidgeon of that joyful, unfettered canine enthusiasm to see us through the next few weeks?! 🙌
•
Swipe to see Duende galloping around Thruscross Reservoir and his happy post-bath face 🐶
•
Whats your #newnormal2020 positive? 🤔
•
Wishing you Duende-like happy vibes my lovely friends and best of luck to all those businesses re-opening today! 💋

Inspired to post this red ensemble by the lovely @kelly_mystyle #mycolourmedicine who has been rocking some fabulous red tights on her colourful grid!
•
Wearing red increases the metabolism, energises and motivates, not just the wearer but everyone you meet. It’s a great pick me up on a murky November day. Thank you to a lovely fellow Leeds Road @marksandspencer food hall customer for telling me that seeing my red attire made her feel really happy “you’ve cheered me up no end” Bless her❤️
•
I think today’s overcast skies definitely call for a vibrant colour blast 🤣 What will you choose today to brighten your world? 💃
•
Happy Friday lovely people 💋

Last • Hurrah ☕️
•
What was your last pre-lockdown treat? Mine was a dash into town and a @caffenero panini lunch with my younger daughter @liliaagreen . So very sorry to hear about @caffenero ‘s current covid related business struggles as I really love the Harrogate branches. Last week we savoured every last morsel of melting cheese, that freshly brewed coffee kick and the delightfully civilised feeling that you get sitting in a squishy leather armchair and watching the Harrogate world go by : heaven 🤎
•
What was your last pre-lockdown shout? Was it a coffee, something stronger or none of the above?! 🤔 Let me know ⬇️ I’d love to find out!
•
We’re 10 days down, 🙌 stay safe and well my friends and happy weekend💋

Lockdown • Two 😷
•
Just wanted to pop on today to send you a massive virtual hug my friends 🤗
•
Hope you’re safe and well and finding the positives today. I feel very lucky in that I’m in lockdown with my younger daughter @liliaagreen, Mr Style Illuminated @jason.beresford and of course my cavapoo Duende 🐶 Elder daughter @estelagreen_ is in York but living with fantastic friends so I know she’ll be fine although I’m missing her like crazy!
•
I’m no longer able to offer face-to-face client consultations during lockdown but am delighted to catch up with you via Zoom or over the phone. Do let me know if I can help in any way with your sartorial conundrums! 💛
•
Wearing optimistic, joyful yellow in the form of a fabulous children’s jumper bagged from @primark yesterday in an 11th hour high street dash. It’s making me smile today and I’m feeling like a cosy bumblebee, never underestimate the power of an uplifting colour-shot on a difficult day! 🙌
•
With love and positivity from me to you. Stay safe and well my friends💋
