Celebrating You: where community, conversation, and connection meet.

On Saturday, we welcomedover 50 women into the salon for one simple reason, to celebratesisterhood

Alongside my inspiring friends and panelists, Estelle Bingham and Lesley Thomas, we spoke candidly about the highs, lows, and everything in between.

This wasn’t about telling our stories; it was about making space for ourselves, finding comfort in discomfort, and remembering that we go farther together.

We spoke, we laughed, we cried and, most importantly, we connected.

As women, we must be pillars for one another. Not just to lean on, but to uplift and be uplifted.

Celebrating You was a for us, by us moment.

Thank you to everyone who came and shared this space. Until next time.

Still letting this land…

Feeling incredibly grateful (and a little in awe) to have my work featured in The Times Weekend today.

Thank you to the wonderful team @thetimes for creating space for honest conversations about reinvention, identity, and starting again.

@lesleyjthomas was looking to save money, fast. Now she does it often and her wardrobe’s better⁠.

"Raiding the back of the wardrobe I found “vintage” treasures that led me back to my own style, rather than following fashion, even unconsciously. I realised that what I like wearing (essentially: jeans of all shapes, shirts, pencil skirts and tailored trousers for work) is different from what I enjoy buying (party frocks, so very many of them, and jackets for some reason)" | ✍️ Thomas ⁠

What this old thing?! A little something in @thetimesmagazine about my big fashion detox. A shopping fast made me love and appreciate clothes and what they do for me, beyond the practicalities, more not less - and honest with myself about the not-cool reasons I buy.The reset was influenced by the cozzielivs, my hoarding habit but also by the kids. It's standard for many GenZs to be much more thoughtful about their acquisitions. I'll never be a thrifter though. I can vintage shop from my own wardrobe at this point (see photos) Anyway read all about it in @theimesmagazine. Huge thanks to the fantastic @pruewhitestylist and brilliant @robertwilson9 📸

Beautiful morning at @wasingwellbeing. Just love this place. There’s no logical explanation for immersing my body in ice when I don’t even like it in my drink. But l loved that too.
