![I have spent the past five years of my life looking for a modern day dupe of a vintage tweed blazer that my mom bought forty years ago. No word of a lie… I actually got to a point where I thought I might as well give up. Only today that all changed. It’s 87 degrees out and I’m putting this on to tell you that this is the real deal!

![Southern summers are hot, they’re muggy, they’re noisy and they’re full of weather. But, my goodness are they majestic…
The official drink is a tall glass of sweet iced tea. The dress code is “sun-kissed” and every gathering is on or near a body of water. Relief is found on boats where the strong winds replace your home’s bought air (aka air conditioning) and every night of your life is soundtracked by a symphony of cicadas, and they play their heart out, like it’s their last chance to be heard every single day at dusk. It’s the performance of a lifetime.
Your summer carpet is neon green marsh grass, your ceilings are decorated with pink cotton candied skies and your hallway to it all is a worn and weathered, steaming hot dock.
These summers aren’t designed for everyone. They are hard. They are brutal. But, for those who can live through the challenges, the rewards are some of the greatest that mother nature has in her back pocket.
In my 45th summer in this life, I felt honoured to be a part of it all. And it flew by in a flash.]()

![I used to joke that the reason I was single was because I wasn’t born at a time when I could have married Robert Redford in the 1970s. He was my first crush and I’m pretty sure I wasn’t just in love with the man, I was in love with his style. From his classic aviators to his double denim fits, his Ralph Lauren Gatsby moment to the iconic Hubbell trench coat hair stroke… he was my dream man.
He was in every journal I wrote. I was desperately manifesting a Redford dupe.
And in 2016, I commissioned one of my favourite artists, boyardeart , to turn a Bally bag into a walking tribute canvas. It is so beautiful that it rarely gets carried. It sits on a shelf in my house, next to my desk, where I can see it daily. And it represents a moment from movie “The Way We Were.” If you haven’t seen it, watch it today.
Because today we said goodbye to the man of my dreams, the man of so many women’s dreams. There will never be another like him. And I will always remember him as Hubbell and Jay Gatsby and Denys (Out of Africa… swoon). ❤️💔]()

![I LOVE these jeans. And here’s how I know I really love them. On this day, when I shot this video, it was not the time of month, for me, to be wearing anything that required a zipper. On this day, I was a size bigger than I am three quarters of the month. If you know, you know. But, they still delivered. They still looked fabulous, but they were tight and it was a struggle bus deciding to post this regardless. I also knew that these jeans sell out fast and I didn’t want to miss the chance to share the wealth here in finding a good thing only to have you find it’s out of your reach.
Here’s the thing- it was a learning curve. I took a step back and decided “they still look fabulous and I felt fabulous when wearing them.” I was also thankful for the Spanx like stomach tug there in that moment.
Regardless, I give you the jeans that you’ll see me in all autumn winter. They are the perfect shape, leg, length and colour, and I love them.
And I’ll also say, I’m not in the game of trying to show up here looking perfect. Never have, never will. Because that ain’t real and, well, I don’t know any other way to be!

![The llbean Boat and Tote isn’t a bag you buy for a season. It’s a bag you carry for life. #ad In my family, that doesn’t mean just one life. These bags get passed down, generation to generation, and they’re built to take it. I’m just breaking mine in—leaving behind the marks of travels and years.
One day my nieces will carry them and when someone asks about a patch or a scratch they’ll say, “My aunt took this from London to Tanzania, Paris to San Francisco, South Carolina to Santorini. And now it’s mine.”
The llbean Boat and Tote isn’t a bag. It’s an icon—untouchable by time, trends, or wear. That’s why it’ll always be my favourite. #LLBeanPartner #BeanOutsider]()

![I know there are plenty of women out there that would see this dress on that model and think “no way!” But, let me be the crazy best friend who says, “yes, way, honey.” Full disclosure- sometimes it goes another way and sometimes the dress looks terrible. Not today, Satan! I had a hunch about this dress and that gut reaction was spot on.
I’m wearing the xxl and this bad boy can stretch! The dress is linked now in stories and forevermore in my profile.
The takeaway here… keep trying the dresses on. Take the risk. And ps. I full well know that not everyone will think this looks as amazing as I think it does. But, I don’t care about your opinion. I feel phenomenal!]()

![Celebrating a union of souls in Colorado, returning to and discovering new summer shores of Maine, wishing for healing hands for a golden boy, the start of a new journal, the witness of countless big storms and dreamt sunsets in South Carolina, incredible styling opportunities followed by big bagel lunches, car rides with dreamboat passengers and bedroom goals unleashed…
It was an August to remember.
But, for the record, and not pictured, there were tears, tantrums, overreactions, breakdowns, trips, falls, bumps, bruises, feelings hurt and egos bruised. There were harsh words sad, harsh words received, business frustrations, fallen trees, gators in the water and totally unnecessary worries about absolutely nothing at all that matters.
I’ll take both the good and bad. I’m happy to have had the month and you here with me in it ❤️]()

![It was particularly heartwarming to open my mailbox last week to find a catalog from talbotsofficial launching their new autumn collection. Let me explain…
Now, full disclosure, I knew they were shooting their new campaign in London. We had spoken about it. We’re working together—I’m a #TalbotsPartner as you now know! But holding the printed catalog in my hands and flipping through the beautiful pictures of models on some of my favourite London streets made my heart flutter.
The collection was admittedly beautiful, but the backdrop of my home city made it all the more special. Plus, this is my first autumn living back in the USA. So really the whole thing felt a bit like kismet.
The same day I received the Talbots catalog in the mail, I also received the box with my edit of the collection. And, dear reader, I kid you not… it took me only an hour to style up the whole bunch. I was so excited about so many pieces and all the possibilities. talbotsofficial asked me to put together three looks and I casually said, “I hope you don’t mind, but I had to cap myself at 12.” I honestly could have kept going and going but we all have lives to lead.
The bottom line is this: talbotsofficial has been a brand I’ve always shopped with at home in the USA. I was honored when they asked me to have a little fun with their collection and was also incredibly excited to share the end result with you! I can’t wait to hear what you think… and of course to find out which look is your favourite? #MyTalbots

![This was one year ago today and, in this moment, I stand by the fact the scariest decision of my life was still the best one to date.
I am scared of everything, all the time. Paralysed by fear most days in the tiniest of ways. The decision to leave London, and a life I’d built over 22 years, seemed like one that could never be made. I sat on it for nine months. I made pros and cons lists every day for those nine months. And then one day, something happened and it all shifted. The decision wasn’t one that could be made. It had to be made.
When I made this video I was terrified of what would happen next. So many thoughts ran through my head as I pressed “post.” I even worried that the only reason anyone even followed me was because I lived in a cool city and shared it on a daily basis. But, I put it all on the line, knowing I was putting me and my family first.
This past year has been a lesson learner. But the biggest lesson, and what I can’t unsee, looking back on this video, is that I can do what seems like the hardest of things and the world around me won’t collapse.
So, today, I’m sharing, as a reminder to myself and others, that often the most insurmountable moments mean the best things are just on the other side. Keep going…
And in case I don’t say it enough, thank you for being here throughout this whole crazy story and giving me an opportunity to share it. ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸]()

I think the universe has a funny way of delivering messages when you need them most. It’s very clear to me that this song slipped into my Spotify when I desperately needed someone to tell me I was getting in my own way.

![For everyone that guessed my destination was Maine… you were spot on. Only this wasn’t a place I’d ever been before. My Maine has always been one place, every summer. And this summer I was invited by nearandchar and her beautiful family (including the magnificent artist elisezoller ) to spend some time seeing how they spend their summers in the magical state of Maine. And I must say, I am positively charmed.
It was a short visit, but in that time North Haven has captured my heart. It isn’t the easiest place to get to and somehow that makes it all the more special. It requires effort, planning and a desire to escape it all.
I now understand why it’s beloved by the people that call it home! Here’s a little look at what life is like on the island of North Haven, Maine.]()

![No matter where I travel to in this big beautiful world, my mind is never far from this dock. It’s a dock that’s always been framed by giant live oaks and shadowed by their enormous arms, swathed in billowing Spanish moss. It’s a dock that sees the skies change everyday from bright blue to cotton candy pink and, some days, angry growling storm cloud grey. It’s a dock that feels familiar now, warm on my bare feet, sometimes leaving longer lasting memories with splinters and stubbed toes. It’s a dock that’s been weathered by hundreds of storms, but stands strong in the toughest of weather, the most rugged of winds. And to think it’s really just a pile of old wood constructed as a form of access to the high waters around us. And yes, I’m drawing a metaphor here. It’s just a dock to so many. But, as with so many things in life, everything in fact, the dock is what you make of it. For me, it’s a magical walkway to the marshland around us. It’s a viewing platform for sunrises, sunsets and the beautiful midnight stars. It’s home.]()

![I have lost so many pieces of jewelry over the years to stupid missteps and mistakes. I lost my college ring to a slip and a toss down an airplane loo. I lost a necklace over the side of a bridge - it slipped off my neck as I leaned over to see the view. Apparently it wasn’t clasped properly. I’ve misplaced a treasured bracelet in a hotel and had one of my favourite earrings fall out in the middle of a masquerade ball, dancing up a storm and not noticing until it was long gone from my world. Basically, I’m an idiotic klutz that can’t be trusted with anything.
But, fifteen years ago, a necklace was placed on my neck that I have been almost merged with. And it would break my heart to lose it. It’s become almost a part of me and it’s from my talented friend jessicadelotz . Her classic wax seal, with the initial E, is found hanging around my neck on most days.
This, however, is the story of another necklace from Jessica, one I asked her to make for me the moment I knew I was leaving London behind as a home.
A piece that was originally commissioned for me to wear, and me only, shifted as soon as I saw the final product. I know so many people feel the same way, in being divided between two places. So, I asked Jessica if she’d be willing to keep the seal and reproduce this necklace for anyone wishing one for themselves or to gift someone else split between two places.
So, now you know the story of the precious piece that I now wear around my neck. It’s my transport home, my touch piece for connection to a place that is always a part of me.]()

And ladies and gentlemen, I was once a member of that group. Well, not a naysayer, but someone who didn’t get the Taylor Swift hype… until one day I did. And the rest, as they say, is history.
One year ago today, I was on my way to Wembley in London to attend the Eras tour. The next day, I made and shared this video, to try and showcase just a small part of the magic and to explain why Miss Swift deserves the devoted following she has gathered over the years.

![The way he just sat there today, letting me gently hold his paw in my hand. It’s a silly little moment, but it’s tattooed on time itself, embedded in my memory banks for all eternity.
One of the things that made moving back to the USA such an easy decision was discovering that Boomer was sick. Three months before my relocation I got a call from my mom and dad to let me know we were on borrowed time. In many ways, that was what tipped the scales. The universe had given me so many signs and I hadn’t listened. This one was delivered and I caved.
Boomer has been in our lives (and many of yours) exactly 12 years today. He’s been the biggest pain in our behinds, but also the biggest bundle of joy.
Every single time I flew back to England, I felt guilty for leaving him behind, not able to explain why I had to live so far away. Even now, each and every morning, I reassure him I’m here with him until the end. No more months away. I’m here to stay.
This past week has been a tough one. There are so many signs that our golden boy is fighting to stay and we’re just here waiting for him to tell us or show us that the battle is too hard.
The hardest part of being a dog parent is knowing when to let go, when to let them go with grace and when you’ve crossed that line of keeping them here selfishly because you just can’t imagine a world without them in it.
We’re not there yet.
He still wags his tail when we enter the room, gets excited for dinners (that I now absolutely spoil him rotten with special gourmet menus), tries his best on short walks in the garden and snuggles up to his brother whenever given the chance.
I’m sorry I haven’t said anything up until now. Some silly part of me thought my coming home could change something. The truth is, as so many already know, there are some illnesses that no amount of hope, hard work or medicinal measures can cure. We have the most beautiful veterinary team here that have done all they can and continue to help us.
So, if you see a little less of Boomer and Brody lately, it’s because most times I’m with them, I’m smothering them with attention and there isn’t a camera in sight.]()

![Let’s talk about the reasons we don’t wear the things we want to. I’m pretty sure I can think of one reason and one reason only that I ever didn’t wear what I wanted to… other people’s opinions. When I decided to trash that reasoning, my whole wardrobe blew open. The best thing you can do, for yourself, is look in the mirror and ask one question, “how do I feel in this?” Don’t second that with “how will other people think about this,” or “am I told old for this,” or “am I showing off too much cellulite.” That’s not your opinion. That’s someone else’s. Wear the mini skirt. Wear the jean cut offs. Wear the skin tight top. Wear the bright neon bandage dress. Whatever you feel great in is the RIGHT THING TO WEAR. Yes, I’m screaming that to you. I spent so much of my life giving a damn about people who weren’t worth giving a damn about. Don’t follow my youthful ignorance and instead live by my earned and lived wisdom… you are the only judge that matters.
And yes, I did put together a mini skirt shopping edit because I believe in these little bad boys as big old wardrobe necessities!

For the next week, I’m wearing these daily styling them up in ways I like to think we don’t commonly see cowboy boots worn. I know we all see them within outfits with jean cut offs, but how about something a little more city slicker like tailored khaki shorts? Just putting that out there.

![On the few days I get to work from home, I don’t sit around in pajamas. I can’t help myself. I have a closet full of pieces that hate being alone on hangers. So, we have play dates. Ok, I’m starting to sound insane. Let’s move on.
My point is this… get dressed. Every single morning. Get out of bed, put on clothes you feel fabulous in and make the effort. It’s worth it. It always is. That doesn’t mean you can’t slip on a pair of great yoga pants or even a different pair of pjs. Just make the change. It sets up your whole day differently. For my mental health, it’s as important as walking. But that’s just my two cents.
