Let's get into chic rainwear...

Does it exist?

Firstly, a little thank you for being wonderful subscribers. I am feeling so inspired to write again and was feeling a bit jaded with the relentlessness of social media, so this community has been just what I needed!

As a thank you, if you would like, I would love to offer you each one of my meal planners I created - I use these everyday and they have changed how I think about food (and save me money!). I will cover the shipping - just reply to this with your address (overseas is fine, too! It was the matchboxes that got tricky overseas) and we can get them out to you. Happy for you to take me up on the offer and gift to a friend who might need/want one, too. (NB: For paid subscribers currently).

Now to the task in hand: what jacket do I wear at this time of year?

Marni x Uniqlo jacket from 2 years ago, my face on the right summing up how I feel about rainwear

This is a question I get asked a lot, it’s April and you need a waterproof coat/thing but all anyone shows you is what they’re buying for summer (that newsletter will also be coming soon, FYI). And I’m all in for summer. Because I hate rainwear. This winter I ditched an umbrella and just insisted on wearing a snood (or my Marni x Uniqlo hooded scarf which is a bit of a gamechanger - sadly can only find them for £70 on Vinted) when it rained, it wasn’t perfect but my bag was lighter and it helped more than an umbrella with keeping frizz at bay.
