I’M BACK AND TODAY IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY 🌟...yellow tulle skirt ✅ for @brokedirtyblonde Tuesday theme #tulletuesday for the #wearingwellbeing week @goldie_magazine Plus a bit of #metallic ✅to catch up on yesterday’s #metallicmonday ☕️
I’m sorry for my low mood yesterday but I was so very grateful for all the lovely messages of support and care from so many of my lovely instafriends.. I feel like a very lucky girl today and that is in no small part thanks to so many of you.. it’s what community and sisterhood is all about right.. and sisterhood is exactly what my guest today on the #virtualcoffeemorning is all about..
☕️
‘TAKING CARE OF YOU’
Is the vibe of this weeks #virtualcoffeemorning ..INSTA LIVE AT 10.15 ☕️ And we’re kicking off this morning with the lovely @aliceallum
Alice is a women’s coach, mentor and founder of the sisterhood membership ☕️
A message from Alice ☕️
“So tomorrow I’ll share a super simple breathing technique and a gorgeous Aura and energy clearing bath ritual (which you can do with foot soak if you don’t have a bath!) super looking forward to it! X
☕️ Looking forward to seeing you later x

NOT FEELING VERY SHINY TODAY, SO PLEASE BARE WITH.

NOT FEELING VERY SHINY TODAY, SO PLEASE BARE WITH...AND FORGIVE ME..
🌟
Morning Instafriends, not feeling so energetic these last few days. Decided to skip the #virtualcoffeemorning this morning and take some time out for some solitude today. 🌟
I hope you don’t mind, but I don’t think you would get much benefit from me today. 🌟
I won’t bore you with all the details of why, just suffice to say I feel like I need to just disconnect for a bit today but I really hate letting people down especially friends, I‘m a great believer in community and supporting each other so I’m posting this today to support 2 lovely instafriends from my little #instacommunity 🌟
Dolly @brokedirtyblonde who was so uplifting when she came on to visit and talk ‘Dolly’s style tips’ last Friday and is setting the #wearingwellbeing themes for @goldie_magazine this week (go check them out on her feed and join in)
🌟
And Rebecca @goldie_magazine who tirelessly powers through even #coronavirus to keep her community going by keeping #wearingwellbeing themes going.
🌟
This morning my daily @calm app reminded me that sometimes we have to disconnect to reconnect. It was so apt for how I’m feeling atm you couldn’t have made it up! 🌟
So I’m posting the most metallic me I could find from a few years ago @wildernesshq whilst camping out in my lovely Brigitte @theglamavans 🌟
Mr A and I decided at the weekend we are going to set Brigitte up this week and camp out in the paddock for Easter, assuming decent weather holds up! So I will post about that little story because I think you will find it fun and it might make you smile 😊 🌟
Have a good day my friends and I will be back on it tomorrow on #virtualcoffeemorning 10.15 am when we will be joined by the very serene @aliceallum who is a beautiful lady as well as a women’s coach and mentor. 🌟
Alice fosters community connection, physical and spiritual support and she will be guiding us through some ideas to help us stay connected to what’s important at this challenging time.
🌟
Stay cool 😎 and #takecareofyou
Jane x💋 .

A POP OF PUNCHY COLOUR, A PIECE OF STATEMENT JEWEL

A POP OF PUNCHY COLOUR, A PIECE OF STATEMENT JEWELLERY, A POP OF BRIGHT LIPPY...
💋
Is often all it takes to elevate your outfit and your mood.. even when more casual or conservative dress is on the menu..
💋
Take your cue from gorgeous Dolly @brokedirtyblonde my coffee mate on my #virtualcoffeemorning today on #instalive (see my stories) 💋
She sure has a beautiful closet of #festivalfashion to feast your eyes on.. 💋
But it doesn’t have to cost a fortune Dolly says take basics and pimp them into something special. 💋
Her top tips include adding, feathers, sequins and/or tulle to take anything up a notch.. 💋
Thanks Dolly for such an uplifting coffee time..
💋
For now it’s neons for me for Friday cocktails.. happy weekend instafriends ❤️

MY THOUGHTS ON DISPLAYING YOUR TREASURES....,CHANG

MY THOUGHTS ON DISPLAYING YOUR TREASURES....,CHANGING UP THE MANTELPIECE.. ☕️
This morning I thought I’d kill two birds with one stone on #instalive by having a coffee and sharing my thoughts on displaying treasures.
☕️ This is a mantelpiece makeover in my guest bathroom.
☕️
I like to show my personality by displaying the things that I love or send a message of mood and feeling.. ☕️
so what do you imagine I’m saying here with this little mantelpiece story?😂
☕️
To catch people’s eye and help them notice my treasures I ..,
☕️use balance not symmetry
☕️always add flora to add life
☕️stick to a small group of colours
☕️usually only one colour pop
☕️use elements of surprise
☕️use layers creating a 3D effect rather than sitting things in a row ☕️
You can watch the demo and I talk you through it on my stories and then I’ll move it on to IGTV ☕️
See you in the morning if you have time 10.15 for #virtualcoffeemorning on #iglive ☕️

“DONT THINK ABOUT IT JUST DO IT! “ ☕️ Was

“DONT THINK ABOUT IT JUST DO IT! “ ☕️
Was what my mum used to tell me when I had to face or do something that scared me, or I just dreaded the thought of. ☕️
That might have been tidying my bedroom, facing weeks of revision for exams or going for a job interview. Now it’s weeks inside with a scary ‘secret killer’ lurking around every corner! 😱
☕️ So I’m just doing it mum! I’m calling on all the things I know I can do..
☕️Chat a lot, which ensures there is never an awkward silence✅
☕️Dressing up - myself, my home and any type of ‘virtual’ social gathering I can think of ✅ ☕️Drumming up a bit of a party and having a laugh and a chat with lots of lovely friends ✅
☕️ Being bossy and getting other people to talk about the things they can do best ✅
☕️That’ll be a #virtualcoffeemorning on instalive then ✅
☕️
SO,
LETS TRY AND MAKE AS BUSY AND PRODUCTIVE AS WE CAN TO GET OURSELVES THROUGH THIS ...
☕️ I’m going to continue to power through and use the time we must stay home as best I can, how about you ? No point moaning, let’s just do this!
☕️
So I’ve been reorganising my wardrobe to help me work more effectively on new outfits and be more sustainable. ☕️
I’m trying to make what I already have work harder and updating by adding a few new trends sourced from preloved and vintage stores.
☕️
Meet me for coffee this morning on #instalive at 10.15 and I’ll chat about what I’ve been doing in my spare room!
☕️
PS If you have a skill, a business or an idea you’d like to share in #virtualcoffeemorning please DM me to chat about it .. go on, don’t think about it, just do it!✅

THE MOTHER OF THE GROOM.. 💒 Back from the regis

THE MOTHER OF THE GROOM.. 💒 Back from the registry office, had a glass of champagne to celebrate the wedding of my son and new daughter in law and thought I’d just catch a few shots of my outfit before I change into something I don’t mind dropping food down! ❤️
Due to dreaded CV wedding has to be pared back to parents only but we streamed it live to our would be guests.. do you think virtual weddings might catch on ?
❤️
Did manage to keep the outfit sustainable with a rented outfit from @hurrcollective ❤️
Going to have a lovely posh takeaway tonight with the new Mr&Mrs Ashton and my pa .. we’ve ordered some delicacies delivered from @formanandfield so we don’t have to cook ❤️ What a week.. Virtual Birthday, Virtual Wedding.. it’s not so bad is it when you know you have the love of family and insta community ❤️
Love is the answer you know that for sure.. ❤️ thank you to all my lovely friends here who’ve kept me connected and helped make this week #joyful despite the odds 😘
