Isn’t life simple when all you need is a bikini, Kaftan and flipflops? #travellinglight 🤣
•
In reality we’re still in quarantine in Harrogate, all symptom free, touchwood. The sun is shining and it promises to be a beautiful day 🌞
•
Happy Thursday lovely friends! 💋

Salud 🥂

How things have changed since we were lucky enough to enjoy a week away in Fuerteventura!
•
The beaches were very peaceful and the locals made us feel so welcome. We discovered the fabulous La Marquesina restaurant thanks to @chloecoutureless who said they serve the best paella in Corralejo. We enjoyed two chilled evenings here, overlooking the sea and watching the #sociallydistanced distanced world go by. A wonderful soundtrack too with Murphy’s mellow guitar 🎸
•
I can’t praise Corralejo enough for the stringent Covid protocols everywhere with mask wearing and sanitizer always available. We felt incredibly safe 😷
•
The new UK government rules were announced whilst we were at the airport waiting to fly home and so we’re now in quarantine in Harrogate. How quickly the landscape changed from all of us feeling cautiously confident and venturing further afield to news of rising Covid cases, local lockdowns and tightening of restrictions.
•
So many people have had longed for holidays cancelled at the last minute and cut short so we feel very lucky to have been away and to be home safe 💛
•
Wearing my sunshine cut work lace shift @karen_millen dress. Love the vibrant, cheerful yellow, the lace overlay (especially flattering as it covers the décolletage) and the neat pencil shape. Still available with 40% off in yellow, red, wine, lime, beige and ivory. I sized up for extra boobage room 💛
•
Wishing you a very happy weekend in these uncertain times my friends ! 💋

Corralejo • Te • Adoro 💙

Buenos días from Fuerteventura! Yes, we took the plunge, armed with copious face masks and sanitizer and are now happily ensconced in Corralejo. We flew with @jet2pics and were so impressed with how organised and safe the whole travel experience felt. Leeds Bradford was the quietest I’ve ever seen it, air port security was socially distanced and everyone wore masks for the entire journey. The Canarians are following strict protocols too: face masks and sanitizing in shops and super-markets wiping down trolleys and baskets after each use 😷
•
I last visited Corralejo 30 years ago and it’s still wonderfully laid back with quirky surfer cafés and enticing seafood restaurants. Many more fashion boutiques now and I’ll definitely be checking out the local @zara and @mango as well as all the fabulous indie shops 👗
•
Loving wearing this super light-weight @atlastlondon blue and white dress. Gorgeous summer Delft-like print, flattering pin-tucks, beautiful neck details and lovely 3/4 sleeves . The perfect attire for an evening stroll around Corralejo 💙
•
Hoping you’re having a lovely Monday whatever you’re up my friends! 💋

I haven’t posted in a couple of weeks, the longest gap for me since I started this account. I’ve been mega busy adjusting to the #newnormal at @phaseeight and wrestling with Cyprus holiday cancellations and last minute re-bookings 🤔 So, I’ve missed you my friends and thank you for sticking with me!! Hope things are good with you and that you’re getting the chance for a holiday break in the UK or safely abroad 🏖. Also hope you’re enjoying venturing back to the High Street and reveling in that social interaction again (trickier from behind a mask but still an uplifting experience 😷 ). If you’re anything like me you may very well be finding yourself using exaggerated head tilting and arm-waving to compensate! 🤣

Happy Thursday lovelies 💋

We’re • Back! 🙌

What excitement today when we re-opened @phaseeight Harrogate store to all our lovely customers! After 2 intense days of deep cleaning the shop and re-merchandising and marking down stock, we were ready to welcome our first customers since March. There are so many total bargains too, my Betka cutabout stripe dress is now 70% reduced to £29 and works equally well with trainers, wedges or strappy sandals 💚. It did feel strange wearing visors and masks and constantly sanitizing all surfaces but it was lovely to see just how happy our customers were to be back in store and how readily they adapted to our new #sociallydistanced and #sanitizer protocols. We can’t offer personal styling services yet and the fitting rooms are closed but the atmosphere was as friendly and upbeat as always and it felt fantastic to take the first steps back to normality. Alice @alicesinstagram you’ve done an amazing job organising us all, @alaynas_outfits we miss you like crazy and you would be so proud of Team Harrogate! Fab to be back together #workbesties Jass, @monikagyoribrown @rachaelhall30 @christine.bacon.988 Thank you lovely Nicole @mon_beaute_by_nicole too for all your help and support this week 💚
•
Top tip: I’m much more comfortable wearing a visor rather than a face mask. Just feel really over-heated in a mask and hate the smudged lipstick effect!! Swipe to see the visor I ordered from @amazon : the soft foam is comfy on the forehead and I can arrange my #lockdownhair over the elastic which gives a bit of a bouffed effect.... an unexpected positive 🤣 •
I’m in store again tomorrow so do come in and say a #sociallydistanced hello if you’re in town 😘
•
Happy Weekend my friends! 💋

I’m a delighted fashionably late guest to the @ginagpotter party! 🎉 This fabulous gold lips tee has been on my wishlist ever since joining Insta. I’ve admired Gina’s wonderful rocking prints on tees worn by so many Insta stars and I was beyond thrilled to be given this one for my birthday by @estelagreen_ and @liliaagreen 💫 The tee feels so comfy on and the print is truly stunning IRL. I’m happily wearing it here with yellow @primark jeans (last summer), ivory @phaseeight blazer (2 years old) and gold @converse trainers (ancient)
•
It’s was great to catch up with lovely Judit at The Needle Loft in South Park road yesterday. If you’re local to Harrogate Judit and her team offer superb tailoring and alteration services and are newly re-open this week. Town seems busy and it’s exciting to see some kind of normality returning. I’m feeling cautiously optimistic, but know that we still have a long way to go . How are you feeling as lockdown eases? Have you ventured onto the High Street non-essential shopping yet?
•
Happy Thursday my friends, hope it’s a good one! 💋
