Oh my word how happy am I to hear we can hug again! Not only that, my sister can now come and stay and we can even go to the cinema, and eat out, but inside, hooray! Those simple pleasures of hugs and movies and time with loved ones have been so missed haven\u2019t they?!\u00a0 We\u2019ve got some lovely new things to wear on just such occasions too. In this picture above, I\u2019m wearing two new pieces which I\u2019ve been inundated with questions about. The necklace is a new one to watch out for by Melissa Odabash<\/a>, I wear her range nearly every day, it\u2019s immensely hardwearing and beautiful too. Equally wearable is Gok\u2019s latest addition to my wardrobe, the WULI:LUU suedette jacket<\/a>. I\u2019m wearing the tan option but there are five other colours to choose from.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Talking of colour, we didn\u2019t plan to go monochrome here, it just happened. One friend I\u2019ve been lucky enough to see all through lockdown in the QVC studios is the lovely Melissa Hardy. She is one of our style experts and brings us the hugely popular Marla Wynne<\/a> range. She also brings the German shoe brand Rieker<\/a> which I\u2019m a huge fan of. It\u2019s always such a pleasure to see her, we try to grab a catch up as best as we can between shows and she\u2019s always a mine of information and hugely passionate about real fashion for real women. I\u2019m wearing the new WynneLayers Sedona matching top and bottoms<\/a> in this pic which I have been delighted with, just bummed that I missed out on the jacket!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

One of the things that I am really looking forward to is sitting outside in the sunshine when it warms up, I\u2019ve so enjoyed the garden over the last year and as soon as the temperature warms up a bit, I\u2019m going to be out there again \u2013 I\u2019ve got a fair amount of work to do in the beds, but equally, a fair amount of sitting around and reading to catch up with too \u2013 that\u2019s one lockdown habit I\u2019m hanging on to! I have read so many fabulous books over the last year and will be sharing regular book reviews on my social platforms soon. All that aside, we have a special garden chair coming up as a Today’s Special Value on Friday 14th<\/sup> May for you, the GCI Rocker chair. It has built in drink and phone holders, plus a carry handle so if it\u2019s cricket matches or camp sites, beaches or gardens with friends, it will go anywhere with you, plus, it sits on any surface! It has a clever rocking mechanism that allows you to get perfectly comfortable wherever you are!<\/p>\n
