What's coming up... it's going to B GREAT!

With summer on the way I thought a round up of what I've got to come for you over the next couple of months might be helpful / delightful / get those summer juices flowing!

Hola! Bonjour! Ciao! Alright mate 😊

With summer coming we get busier with plans, holidays, weddings, wine-ing (new word there from me) and lazier with long languid sunny days (hopefully). So! I thought it might B helpful to know what's coming up over the next few weeks in here.

Basically… LOADS OF EXCITING LOVELY THINGS.

Like most of us I’ve got a summer holiday planned soon in mid-June - praying I haven’t booked too early for Europe, but my whole July was booked up with plans (Kylie concert, brother’s wedding, bezzie’s hen do, friends coming to stay). And I cannot wait all the way until August for that sunshine hit! Since the UK weather ain’t looking so promising thus far…

So, I’ll be taking pockets of time off here and there, again, hopefully. I tend to say this and then work as much as I possibly can. A trait I vow one day I’ll, erm, grow out of?

Anyway! Don’t worry I’ll still be keeping all this going and coming at you with some of MY BEST SOURCES N SECRETS.

Hiya! God I love summer. And this shirt. Coming up below 😉

I thought it might be helpful to have a SNEAK PEEK of what’s coming up over the next few weeks - nice for you to know / eagerly anticipate / dream about (describing myself here really, I often can’t sleep when I have a new discovery on my mind!).

And also nice for me to show you my notes, in a less scribbled, more sorted, format (you don’t want to see the brain dump of a notes page on my phone).

I’ll be focusing more on my Shopping Secret posts, for two reasons, actually three:

1. I have some really good summer small brands for you.

2. I think the ‘secrets’ seem to be more what people want to know from me on here.

3. They’re shorter and sweeter. And we want to be in the summer sun not reading another long email.

But! I have got some longer edits and longer reads to add in too, so don’t worry if you also like these. Details / some imagery on all coming up below NOW!

You’ll be getting all these Shopping Secrets….

Obviously, I’m not telling you about these secret sources of mine now (or I’ll have nothing to write about!) but they’ll B coming up each and every week over the next couple of months.

And here’s some image sneak peaks (not yet linked, they will be in the articles each week, for paid subscribers).

Those shell cocktail glasses - £46 for 6!

Practical, no. Pretty, YES!

Spaghetti Vongole anyone?

Shirts approx. £110. Shorts £85.

I could rather fancy the crab salad too and I hear the lobster is delicious here.

I’ve never wanted a phone case more

+ this brand do more. The lamps are driving me crazy. And the ‘curiosities’ shop.

Summer Shirts, one of a kind, hand embroidered (approx £250)

Happy hands (rings around £150)

I’ve had this brand on my wishlist for a while, problem is I want to stack a load of rings like this! Individually affordable at approx. £150 each.

Just discovered dresses - I’ve got a few!

I’m on the waitlist for this green (£100)

£100 - I’m on a waitlist at one site for this OR I’ve found somewhere else you can Pre Order from, to make sure you get one (end July delivery).

Beach bags

Well, general travel totes really, I’m just imagining for the beach. Could also make a perfect gym bag, day tripper, laptop luggage, doggy day bag! Comes in loads of colours / sizes.

Kermit loves a sandal

Metallic green for the win - if anyone knows my 7 year old Miista pair I wear on repeat (actually I’m wearing them in the very first image on here) these are the closest I’ve found… I may B due an upgrade!

Summer sets (nothing I love more, I could do you a whole edit!)

Swim to spritz 😎

Sundowner ready. Always.

Flower Power Rings

I’ll warn you this is a high end / very special treat one… but they’re too amazing not to tell you about!

Swirly Shello (£90)

Just discovered this brand and these are currently sold out (£90). NOOOO! But I’ll add in one week’s ‘Shopping Secrets’ in case they restock! And there is other lovely pieces from this designer too.

*All of these posts I’m mentioning will be for Paid Subscribers, so this is a bit of a HEADS UP that it might be a good time to upgrade 😊

It works out at just £1.50 a week, you can sign up as monthly, or yearly, and unsubscribe at any time if you wish.

This is knowledge that lasts longer than one taste 😉 knowledge is power and all that… or dressing well in this case! x

AND you’ll be getting all these longer reads and your Paid Subscriber special discounts for June and July.

I’ll space out writing these over the summer, so say the next 3 months. Don’t worry I won’t bombard you!

— HOLIDAY PACKING LIST / my essentials.
— DENIM EDIT (I’ve tried so many recently, I’m good to go with my reviews!).
— TEE EDIT + under the sea theme delights - summer is calling!
— ART EDIT - my fave prints and paintings.
— HOLIDAY LOOKS from me.
— JUNE discount - Pretzel Pottery. JULY discount - the HOOPS I always wear.

Most likely will B repeating all of these this holiday.

— SUMMER LOOKS from my favourite Portuguese / Spanish / Dutch and Danish influencers.
— TRAVEL GUIDE - Formentera (island off Ibiza). This will be the 7th year in a row we’re going (bar one covid year. 2021 we still made it there after our July wedding).
— SUMMER in LONDON - My favourite places / restaurant recommendations.
— A PERSONAL POST on the indecision at 36 on being child free - I’m not 100% sure whether to publish this one or not. It can be a sensitive topic / it’s opening myself up quite a bit.
— In contrast to the above - KIDSWEAR EDIT (despite what people may think from the above I do not hate kids!). And I randomly seem to have come across some amazing brands recently.

And if all that work / research / writing / scrolling, sourcing and selecting is not worth paying £1.50 a week for then I don’t know what is 😂

If this were a magazine, would you buy it? I genuinely think I would!

Not that I’m biased at all, but hey we’ve got to back ourselves, right!

I hope you enjoy all that’s coming, it’s making me excited! Here’s to summer, cheers! x

I realise I am sending this out on a Monday morning, this shall B me on Friday 😂
