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! 💋

Boss • Red ❤️

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💋

Happy • Face 😃
•
How delighted was I to see a lovely client face-to-socially-distanced face for a cathartic wardrobe renew last Friday!
•
My absolute sweetheart of a friend Olivia @storytmarketing had booked the session as a birthday gift for her adorable Mum Clare and we’d had to postpone when Covid hit.
•
Undaunted here we were many months later, temperature-checked, PPE’d up and raring to go. I diagnosed Clare as a dramatic deep Winter and it was such a joy to discover her incredible collection of multi-coloured silk scarves and creative costume jewellery. I had the best time showing her different ways to style her favourite, one-of-a-kind dresses, trousers and skirts so that she now knows how to incorporate her beautiful accessories to elevate her daily looks. Absolutely no more saving things for best! It’s all about looking and feeling fantastic every single day and enjoying that much needed boost especially in such uncertain times 🙌
•
I was so excited too when Clare asked me to style an outfit for her to wear out to a family lunch immediately after our session. Swipe to see how beautifully chic she was, a true Cinderella moment that made us all feel rather #emosh and totally made my day 💖
•
I arrived back home on a complete high and put my colour drapes into a 3-day quarantine to be brought out again and steamed for this week’s lovely client 🎨
•
Have a great Monday lovely friends! 💋

Transitional • Layering 🤎
•
One dress, myriad styling possibilities! 🙌
•
I love that we’re all becoming increasingly aware of #slowfashion and the benefits for our environment and our bank balances of buying less, wearing more and adapting key pieces from our wardrobe to ring seasonal changes.
•
I wore this gorgeous @phaseeight Nemi Shapes Chiffon dress #outout in Harrogate a few Saturdays back on a date night with Mr Style Illuminated @jason.beresford . The weather was much milder then so bare legs, ankle boots and a lightweight biker jacket took me from a day on the shop floor to an early evening wander around Harrogate and delicious meal @tahchang.harrogate. Isn’t it hilarious that we both felt soooo ridiculously thrilled to go out?! 🤣Just shows how we all appreciate every little trip out and about in these uncertain times 🥂
•
With brass monkeys weather upon us I’m styling this dress with a super-slim lightweight polo-neck underneath (check out @primark for some great offerings), opaque black tights and chunky boots.
•
For maximum warmth I can’t wait to rock it Seventies style with over-the-knee tan boots and a tan teddy-bear coat.
•
How many ways can you style your favourite floaty dress? 🤔
•
Happy weekend lovely friends! 💋

Chunky • Boots 🖤
•
How do you feel about the chunky boot with floaty dress trend? Not new but perennially popular, I’ve seen this trend embraced by all ages and all body shapes.

Here’s why I think it’s such a winner 🌟:
•
Boots like these fabulous @riverisland ones are just soooo incredibly comfy, love the thick rubber soles and ankle-support (I bet you’re rocking a pair lovely @noraintheknow 😉)
•
The patent finish and gold hardware feminise them so there’s less danger of frightening the horses🤣
•
Perfect footwear on a drizzly day like today ☔️
•
The new season @phaseeight Penele swing dress (already iconic in it’s earlier coral versions) is such an easy wear for all body shapes and dress sizes
•
Worried about your knees, legs? Style with dark tights/over the knee boots and you’re good to go.
•
Do you love or loathe? Would love to hear what you think in the comments below ⬇️
•
Onwards and upwards as we soldier on embracing our new #newnormal 😃 . Happy Thursday my lovely friends! 💋
