While sheltering from the massive spanner that London’s climate is currently putting in my rosé plans, I have been busy this week hunting down your requests. Thank you to everyone who wrote in the thread, the conversation is always open, so if something comes to you please do just drop me a line.
As ever, all feedback and thoughts welcome. Have a gorgeous rest of the week you lovely lot, will see you all on Sunday.

Either way, it’s nice not to be confronted with my skin apron in the middle of a downward dog, so like you, I like a midriff cover up. I’ve personally become so lax with the old razor and roll with the fuzz at least at my yoga studio.
