Six-foot-tall requirement ...
I am not that. 162 cm and still having a go.

Doesn’t stop me when someone like Danielle Learmont offers the chance.

Some things you do for love, fun and great company.
Thank you Danielle, thank you Trevor.

There are many fashion sins …

Repeating a print

Minutes spent fifteen years ago are still paying dividends ...

Best piece of skincare advice I’ve ever had and at the time nobody was talking about it. My doctor put me onto retinol a very long time ago, no campaign, no unboxing, just a script and “use this most nights.” I’ve cycled through a few different tubes and tubs since, some earned their price tag, some didn’t.

It’s the habit that’s actually done the work.

I’m genuinely curious who else was quietly doing this before it had a marketing budget, and yes, that includes the men reading this.

There is something quietly magnificent about a woman and her décolletage ...

Not too much. Just right. That particular point where elegance meets something a little more daring and the woman wearing it doesn’t even blink.

Women have been navigating this since the 13th century when the décolletage first appeared in the courts of Europe. By the 17th century the French clergy launched a formal campaign to ban it entirely. They enlisted moralists, pamphlets and considerable outrage. Women responded by wearing it more. The campaign was a spectacular failure!

And centuries later, nothing has changed.

How a décolletage sits on a woman with decades behind her.
The strength and the softness. The cool and the warmth. The stoicism and the fire. And that beautiful defiant wildness that nature gave us.
A mature woman carries all of it.

And a décolletage, worn with that knowledge, is stunning.

So, my challenge ...
Undo that extra button.
Give yourself a wink in the mirror
... and off you go.

I don’t expect miracles from skincare.

The older I get, the more I love this combination.

The older I get, the more I love this combination.

Silk and sneakers.

On paper, they shouldn’t work.

One is polished and luxurious.
The other is practical and effortless.

But together?

They create something that feels modern, relaxed and quietly confident.

I’ve realised it’s not really about the clothes.

It’s about the woman wearing them.

When we’re younger, we often dress to follow trends or prove we understand fashion.

As we get older, we dress with intention.

We know what feels good.
We know what suits us.
And we stop worrying about whether every piece “matches” perfectly.

That’s why I think silk and sneakers become even more beautiful with age.

Not because the outfit changes...

But because the woman wearing it does.

Confidence isn’t loud.
Sometimes it looks like a silk shirt, comfortable sneakers and the freedom to wear exactly what feels like you.

✨ Would you wear silk with sneakers?

Nobody has ever run their hand down my sleeve and

If you think orange doesn’t suit you… you might

If you think orange doesn’t suit you... you might just be wearing the wrong shade. 🧡

Orange has a reputation for being “too bold.”

Too bright.
Too loud.
Too difficult to wear.

But that’s exactly why so many women never discover how incredible it can look.

Orange is one of the most uplifting colours in your wardrobe. It naturally conveys warmth, confidence, optimism and creativity, often making you appear more approachable and vibrant.

The secret isn’t forcing yourself into a colour that doesn’t feel like you.

It’s finding your orange.

A soft apricot, warm terracotta, burnt orange or rich tangerine can all create completely different effects, and one of them may suit you far more than you expect.

You don’t have to wear it head to toe, either. A scarf, handbag, blouse or even a touch of orange near your face can instantly brighten both your outfit and your complexion.

Sometimes the colours we avoid are the ones that surprise us the most.

🧡 Have you ever tried wearing orange, or have you always avoided it?

I haven’t missed these three habits in thirty year

I haven’t missed these three habits in thirty years. Here’s why ...

They predate my dog, my daughter who is now in her twenties,and a former husband who I’m sure had opinions about the lights going dim at seven. Which tells you something about how non-negotiable they actually are.

The first is my morning shower, always ending with cooler water. Not Arctic, just cool enough to make you catch your breath slightly. I know, I know. But hear me out. It wakes up your nervous system in a way that nothing else does, not coffee, not a loud alarm, not good intentions. Your circulation gets a nudge, your mind gets clarity and you step out feeling genuinely ready rather than just technically awake. Miss it once and you’ll notice.

The second is walking. Every single day, at least thirty minutes, on top of whatever the dog has decided we’re doing that morning. I include stairs wherever I can find them because they’re free, they’re everywhere and they work. This is not fitness for me. It’s how I think. Some of my best decisions have been made on a footpath going nowhere in particular.

The third is dimming the lights after seven in the evening and finishing the day with a warm shower. Low light signals to your nervous system that the day is winding down. The warm water does the same thing, your body temperature drops as you cool afterwards and sleep follows more easily. Thirty years later I still do both and I still sleep well. I’ll take that.

Three habits. Thirty years. Still non-negotiable.

This simple habit changed the way I feel every day

This simple habit changed the way I feel every day ...

Actually, it’s three. And I’ve been doing all of them for over thirty years, long before my dog, long before my child, long before a former husband who I’m sure had opinions about the lights going dim at 7pm.

The first is my morning shower, always ending with cooler water. Not Arctic, just cool enough to make you catch your breath slightly. I know, I know. But hear me out. It wakes up your nervous system in a way that nothing else does, not coffee, not a loud alarm, not good intentions. Your circulation gets a nudge, your mind gets clarity and you step out feeling genuinely ready rather than just technically awake. Miss it once and you’ll notice.

The second is walking. Every single day, at least thirty minutes, on top of whatever Bobbi has decided we’re doing that morning. I include stairs wherever I can find them because they’re free, they’re everywhere and they work. This is not fitness for me. It’s how I think. Some of my best decisions have been made on a footpath going nowhere in particular.

The third is dimming the lights after seven in the evening and finishing the day with a warm shower. Low light signals to your nervous system that the day is winding down. The warm water does the same thing, your body temperature drops as you cool afterwards and sleep follows more easily. I started the dim lights well before Ella was born. Thirty years later I still do both and I still sleep well. I’ll take that.

Three habits.
No equipment.
No subscription.
No willpower required after the first week.
Just consistency, and the quiet satisfaction of having ticked my three non-negotiables. 🤍

From sand dunes to snow capped mountains, we cover

From sand dunes to snow capped mountains, we covered 1,200 kilometres across four days, by 4WD, on horseback and on foot.

Altyn Emel. Charyn Canyon. Kolsai and Kaindy Lakes. Kazakhstan is not a country that reveals itself quietly. It opens up in vast, dramatic gestures and then catches you completely off guard with something so beautiful you forget to take a photo.

I came here partly to see the country my mother was born in. I didn’t expect to feel quite this undone by it. A big thank you to our guide Yuri @wow_travel_kazakhstan
