i recently read an insta post which re-shaped the way i looked at 'sad last times' with the focus instead on the subsequent, wonderful '1st times'.  i've just hit full effect menopause so i decided to apply that filter to my current menopause experience.  read on for the 1st in 'my menopause journey' series and my quest to de-old menopause x

A chance encounter with an orange bikini and a (nearly) ex boyfriend made me realise I've had a very specific personal style for well over 20 years.  Read on for a style-led trip down memory lane and a summary of the key wardrobe pieces which have been my personal style heroes since I was 18.

these images share summery, vintage tones which take me back to my childhood.  colours are equally muted and vibrant - reminding me of the lollies we ate, the adults we wanted to be, and the big fake plastic jewels we used for dress-ups.  i hope this sparks a lovely trip down memory lane for you too x
