Pregnant and surviving lockdown – Day 3
Surviving lockdown at home. Well, there are certainly worse places to be. Waking up in with a roof over my head, running water and heating was certainly the highest on my gratitude list.

There’s a Symphony of Silk in Town
There’s a symphony of silk in the high street at the moment, and I couldn’t be more excited. A few days ago I wrote about a few of the top fashion trends we’ll be seeing throughout 2019.
