Chasing Rainbows {Spring Edit} with Boden Clothing

February 15, 2019

The sun is finally shining! How good does that feel? Apologies if you are further north to Suffolk and are still waiting for your quota…it’ll come, I’m sure.

Spring is certainly one of my most favourite months, a time when the bulbs are beginning to surface and the garden is starting to look less skeletal. Finally Easter is on the way and the dream of daffodils is a reality. The nights are drawing out and I’m no longer cooking dinner in the dark but even beginning to push the window open to breathe in the last of the days fresh {but still a little chilly] air.

For me, fashion wise, its the season of ‘the ankle’. After all, its as much leg one is inclined to reveal while there’s still a slight chill in the air but, oh does it feel good to ditch the socks and long boots? Opting for something a little less cumbersome.

When Boden Clothing challenged me to add a little ‘rainbow’ to my wardrobe I welcomed it with open arms! Always one for colour, mostly because it can’t be helped but to put a smile on your face when you’re wearing it but, also because I love the analogy of the rainbow. I spend much of my time encouraging my children to always ‘chase’ the rainbow…after all, dreams really can come true, right?

So, my top picks for this ‘rainbow’ season are;

The ‘Happy’ Hadley Jumper

Part of the ‘BODEN 10’ capsule collection this knit really does tick those boxes. This sophisticated pointelle jumper is a season rotational, one that will be pulled out whatever the weather; styled classically for the evening tucked in a floaty skirt or styled casually with jeans, its an ‘all rounder’ and a style I love {it also has a touch of mohair for that little bit of luxury}.

The Silk Shirt

Made from sand-washed silk, this shirt is pure luxury. It’s a relaxed fit, which I like and has a hidden button up, which makes it great with trousers and heels for a smart look or with jeans and loafers for more casual days.

The Celia Cashmere, Cambridge Ankle Skimmer, Canvas Plimsols

Well helloooo rainbow heaven. A record amount of instagram likes really gave this outfit the gram seal of ‘Yes please, where can I buy?’ approval. This cashmere knit – from Inner Mongolia, is special for sure. Maybe the softest yarn I have ever worn and the rainbow shoulder really gives it HUGE amounts of style credibility. Styled with the Cambridge ankle skimmers {its ALLL about the spring ankle} and the not so boring white canvas plimsols, this outfit shouts happy from the roof tops!

So, there we have it, my Boden Spring Rainbow Edit. What do think?

Enjoy a weekend full of colour,

24 Hour Brightening with Green People

February 11, 2019

If you have been following my blog for while you will know, by now, I have a lot of love for Green People. From the 100% biodegradable packaging that it arrives in {with corn starch packing nuggets that can be thrown into compost piles after use; how cool is that?} to the ethos and expertise that the team have. Pioneering personal care products since 1997 and championing the cause for organic beauty way before it came into mainstream. Producing natural and organic ingredients for the whole family, each product is fortified with organic ingredients and clinically proven plant actives; designed to nourish, nurture and balance the skin. I love the fact that they don’t bulk out their products with high levels of water, drying alcohol or synthetic fillers and they contain more than 90% natural and organic ingredients, 100% vegetarian and 100% cruelty free! Amazing.

I’ve recently discovered the Age Defy + range and quite frankly I’m in love. Skin regeneration, moisture balance and deep hydration are targeted in this unique skin care regime for women 35+, containing the beech bud extract from the Everlasting Youth Tree {honestly this REALLY exists} stimulating the metabolism of cells. So what are the hard facts; clinical trials revealed that a 40% increase in protein synthesis, a 30% increase in hydration AND a 10% DECREASE in wrinkles {whoaaah I hear you say!}.

So, the Age Defy + 24 Hour Brightening Moisturiser why do I love it? Its giving me a winter glow and making my skin feel super fresh, its increasing the hydration of my combination skin; giving me just the right balance so my skin doesn’t look oily but glowing. It’s a great base for makeup, smoothing the skin {which at 37 is a real bonus as those pesky fine lines have started to make an appearance} and throughout the day I have that much desired healthy glow. Bliss..

With ingredients such as cucumber, white mulberry, hibiscus, beech bud and pineapple, this really is my new ‘go to’ day cream. I think you’ll love it!

You can claim a free sample of this wonder moisturiser by emailing organic@greenpeopleuk , plus free UK delivery on all orders and if you sign up to the newsletter you will receive 10% off your first purchase. You can thank me later!

Enjoy the glow,

Emily x
