I’m well aware it’s Wednesday, so apologies for the late Tuesday Ten! We’ve been doing a very wholesome trip in the South West of the UK seeing family, friends and attending a wedding. Naturally I haven’t had the chance to be at my laptop as much, plus I just keep thinking of things to add to the answers below (Question 10 on weaning, I’m looking at you).
There are some gorgeous ones in Tanya Burr’s Monica Vinader edit that I got to see IRL last week, plus lots of new brand discoveries in this newsletter. My fave is this one from Alaire - I love the beads interspersed with the silver.
I’m a big fan of a cord necklace, like this red one from Arkitaip, or this fish one from YSSO. Lié Studio does beautiful necklaces too, plus the brand I mention in answer six below - I’m obsessed! There are some really cool ones at & Other Stories (I’ve got the shell one coming) and Sezane right now.
I’m going to Barcelona, The Dolomites, Andalusia, Positano and hopefully Formentera between now and September. Mostly just little trips for a few nights. Then lots of time enjoying our home and seeing friends and family in England. I don’t tend to go away in August, whilst we aren’t confined to school holidays.
I wore a wearable stick-on bra with the dress. I spotted Estée looking unreal in the yellow dress and now they have a lace one for brides too..
We’ve done all colour-drenched, except for on our stairs, where we did a contrast - the same colour as the bannisters. To me, contrast skirting can be used playfully so it’s fun on the stairs, in a hallway or in a kid’s bedroom. It can obviously be used in a traditional way too, but I prefer a colour-drench in general. It’s just easier on the eye and more contemporary. Plus, you have to pick fewer colours..!
I just finished Yesteryear, which I think I enjoyed… It was long and gripping, but I can’t work out how I feel about the ending. Has anyone else read it that can discuss with me?!
Beyond the paywall this week: where my fish necklace is from, sofas, wedding shoes, wedding bands and all my weaning tips three months in
