Warren Amazon Black Friday deals

Come with us to the Badminton horse trials 🐎

Ariat invited us to come and watch one of the UKs most famous 5 star eventing competitions.

It’s an amazing day out, especially if you are into the whole equestrian side of life. The talent and skills of the riders and horses are as good as they come.

We had the huge fortune of getting a walk through of the cross country course by Nick Gauntlett, one of the top riders in the UK.
Those fences are definitely a lot bigger and scarier in real life than on tv!

As Warren is about to start taking riding lessons, we then headed straight for the shops. Where we managed to get him both a riding hat and some Ariat riding boots.

This is such a lovely day out for the whole family. There are loads of things to see, do eat and drink.
We had the best time and it will definitely be an event we will be adding to our yearly calendar.

Now the big question is - who wants to see Warren on a horse for the first time?

Come with me to the yard.

Talk about a life shift. From not having ridden for over 20 years to spending time in the yard and saddle 3 times a week.

My body is constantly aching, but it has done me so much good both physically and mentally. I’m always outside, moving, doing, caring and improving.

None of it has to do with work, musts or pressure. It’s all just because I want to. There is no end goal more than enjoying myself.

Narla is the most wonderful horse I could have found. She is a cremello Welsh cob with one blue and one blue/brown eye. Cremello is the closest thing to albino you get, so her base colour is pink and she needs sunscreen on her nose in the summer.

She is an old soul, very smart and absolutely loves being fussed over. Considering the junk in her trunk, she has a surprisingly beautiful step and rides really well.

You can find some pretty special things on Facebook! (I found her in a local sharer group).

The 3 fabrics I always look for in the sales.

These 3 materials are luxurious, elegant, high quality and sustainable.

They can also be really expensive, that’s why we always should look for them in the sales.

1. Linen - A wonderfully lightweight natural material with beautiful texture. I always look out for linen shirts, blazers, trousers and sundresses.
I wash my linen myself at home, and as it’s a material that creases easily, I always have a steamer at hand.

2. Silk - This is probably my favourite texture in the whole world. So soft and shiny. It’s the most luxurious sensation on skin.
Some silks can be washed at home, other has to go to the dry cleaner. This is also a material that creases easily, but respond well to steaming.

3. Cashmere - the wool of wools. Soft, bouncy and not itchy. It has the properties to keep warm and wick moisture in the winter. Comfort level is as good as it gets.
I wash all my cashmere in 30C with wool detergent and dry flat (underfloor heating is a hack, just pop them on a thin towel on the floor).

…and I don’t just look for these materials on sale, I also search for them preloved.

If you have linen, silk and cashmere in your wardrobe, then it’s already more luxurious and sustainable than most.

My 5 favourite summer shoes in my capsule wardrobe 🤍

Between these 5, I don’t really need any other shoes in the summer.

I styled all of them with the same dress to really highlight the different feels they give to a look.

1. Fabric trainers - these are comfortable, flirty and fun. Great for a picnic or a romantic bike ride.

2. Nude barely there sandals - these are subtle but yet lends some glamour to a look. They are also still comfortable with a 8.5 cm heel.

3. Ballet flats - Romantic and feminine. Perfect for a stroll in town or a coffee date.

4. Statement sandals - this pair will grab the attention and be the stand out piece in most outfits.

5. Luxe sandals - when I want to be comfortable and look put together at the same time. Think Italian holiday or shopping in st Tropez.

My 5 favourite black items for the summer 🖤

Would you find more use out of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5?

Black in the summer? Definitely!

We often think of black as a winter colour. Personally I find it dark enough that time of year. However, in the summer it can really make a tan pop and looks amazing paired with beige or a lighter brown.

I don’t wear black very often at all. But there is something very elegant and sophisticated about black summer outfits.

Wardrobe advice

🍁The joy of seasons 🍁

We are so lucky to have distinct seasons here in the U.K. 🙌🏻

Not only does it give us something to look forward to weather wise, it also force us to rethink our wardrobe several times a year.

This is a very good thing as it prevents boredom with the clothes we already own. We also have to be more creative and use more items than if the weather was fairly similar year around. 👏🏻

It does come with the downside of seasons that we might like less than the others. But to me personally, I rather have the variation than not.

Autumn wardrobe

The occasion dress of dreams

#LTKover40 #LTKstyletip #LTKVideo

GRWM - I have two dress choices for the @shop.ltk gala at the National History Museum tonight 🥂

Both are occasion dresses I have worn before, but with very different vibes. 👏🏻

Look 1 is very floral and pretty, spring like, frilly and a little ethereal. I’m thinking hair back as it has a high neck and I will pop my chain of my Chanel WOC to make it a clutch bag. 🌷

Look 2 is the dress I wore for my 40th birthday. I call it my “Morticia” dress as it’s all kinds of black, lacy and mesh-y. It’s very naked if I wear it on its own, so I tend to pair it with tights (I will get a pair that doesn’t have a line of the thigh.)

What do you think, should I go for floral and pretty or black and lacy? 🤔

At 40 I’m past prevention and fully into my anti-ageing routine. I love vitamin c, retinol, oils and acids. And to be honest, my skin has never looked better.

I’m 5’5 and I’m wearing a U.K. 6 in my beige knitted turtleneck jumper dress.

My belt is 75 cm long, it fits perfectly on the waist, but I had to make a smaller hole for the waist. Size for hip so you can use it on both.
