MY MONTH ON INSTAGRAM | FEBRUARY 2015

28 February 2015

Zoom… wow, how fast has February flown by!? Don’t be fooled by some of the sunny pictures, it was a pretty gloomy month – though we did at last get about 2 inches of snow which disappeared in all of five seconds. The kids loved it though they did comment how cold it was, duh!

The main event this month in Instagram world was the hashtag #20beautifulwomenchallenge to encourage self esteem and confidence in women. After being tagged by far too many to ignore I finally decided to take part and posted the dreaded selfie. How I cringed and didn’t dare to look at the likes and comments for ages… well, at least 2 hours which is ‘ages’ in IG world.

But I’m glad to report that my follower figures didn’t plummet and it was quite overwhelming and emotional to receive all the lovely supportive comments. By tagging 20 more women I realised that the vast majority have got the same fears and it is precisely for that reason that this campaign is necessary and so healthy especially on a social platform that is for the most part obsessed with beauty and documenting life in the best possible light.

We are all women and we are all beautiful, whatever age or colour, and if you haven’t taken part consider yourself tagged and I promise you it’s a liberating and empowering experience.

MOOD BOARD | GRID LOVE

23 February 2015

In case you’re not an Instagram addict / blog lover / design nerd and Pinterest fanatic like me you may be surprised to find that GRIDs are totally a thing at the moment.

From socks to frocks, teatowels to bedlinen they even made their way into our kids rooms (see Suzanne’s fabulous post last week). Mostly monochrome and often reversible I’m in love with this trend and have gathered a few of my favourites on the mood board above. Do you remember that grid teatowel I bought from H&M home a couple of weeks ago… fits right in. But if I may please can I also have:

01 | This beautiful blanket as winter seems to have returned with freezing temperatures.
02 | The polo neck sweater for reasons see above.
03 | And this AURA reversible bedlinen.

MOOD BOARD | NUDE TREND

What could be a better fit than NUDES on this special day for all loved up couples out there. Aw… you guys, so cute….

You may detect some cynicism in my tone but it’s not because I dislike Valentines Day per se. Though I do have a problem with the commercial aspect of it and the stupidly inflated prices for flowers in general and roses in particular. But I guess that’s market forces at play. Supply and demand… yadda yadda.

As I mentioned earlier this week I’m declaring my love of nudes today. You night have noticed my Instagram account turning somewhat nude and dare I say pink – shock horror!? Well, it’s more of a soft pink that I champion, aka nude. In fashion it’s wonderfully flattering with all skin tones from pale blondes to freckly gingers to dark skin and hair, nude looks good on everyone. It even gives women like me a little lift with my washed out complexion and hair. Plus it’s a wonderfully feminine colour and always makes me feel like a natural woman… Are you breaking out in song?

On my recent (all too brief) shopping trip to London’s Oxford Street I noticed a lot of nude tones around from sheer blouses to trousers and lingerie. I think it’s going to be a really strong nude trend this year and I love it as it looks good with all my favourite neutrals like white, grey and black and gives a hint of colour without shouting pink at you.

Now, go and put that iphone/pad down and snuggle up to your loved one for another round of oh lala or maybe just a good old snooze. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

MY MONTH ON INSTAGRAM | JANUARY 2015

31 January 2015

instagram, my month, January, mymonthoninstagram, photo, photography, trend, style, daily, experiences, beauty, moments, frost, winter, season, stylejuicer, kids, bed, london, MyE20, East Village, get living london, yay, wood, rustic, desk, office, sorting, flat lay

Phew… finally it’s the end of January. How long was this month – surely there were more than 31 days!?

So what did we do? Well, we packed, we moved, we settled and we’ve been waiting for it to snow here in London all of January. The kids are desperate to build a snowman and I’m swooning over the snowy landscapes of my fellow Instagram -ers from far and not so wide. Seems everybody has had at least a little sprinkling apart from us in the Big Smoke. *unfair*

Despite the lack of said snow we’re loving our new home which is south facing and has got the most amazing light flooding in. I’m in heaven in my new small home office which is clear of anything kids related, pristine white and clutter free – for now at least.

Changing the kids bedroom from baby to kids is my next project and I’m busy planning and sifting through ideas. Remember my post about black and white kids room ideas? I’m honing in and will be sharing more soon.

Here’s to February with Valentines and small signs of Spring coming up – or will we finally get some snow in London!?
