A short, sweet, sexy SEXY shopping list
I've been to some press events. I've seen some stuff. I've tried some new beauty product. I've discovered the £1.75 accessory of the summer! Here's the best of it.
First things first, my hay fever is IN.SANE this year. I’m generally not that bothered by it, but this year? It’s like someone’s rammed grit up my sinuses, smeared my eyeballs with gloop, then told me to stop making a fuss. I thought I’d try the good ol’ local honey trick, but when I Googled it, it turned out to be bollocks, so I asked Instagram what I should do, and 9/10 people said Allevia - drug content, fexofenadine, street name “fexo”, or “fexi” (just kidding OR AM I?) - which until 2020 was prescription only MUSIC TO MY EARS. Anyways. I got it. It bloody works, isn’t even drowsy, and it turns out, this is an especially evil year for hay fever, so I reckon you’ll need it too. One Instagrammy person told me it also helps with mozzy bites, another (actually medically trained) that it would definitely help BUT if you’re suffering especially badly - worse, even, than me (which wasn't that bad) - you’ll need to hit it with nasal sprays and eye compresses too, from all angles… This post is basically sponsored by fexofenadine without which, I wouldn't be able to see the screen and would be moaning too much to write.
Enough with the medication. Onwards, to frivolity!
First Blythe B jewellery , from £30
Which I encountered on a press day for my favourite beach wear brand, Hansine, Blythe of Blythe B being a mate of Hansine, of Hansine. It’s the sweetest, sexiest beaded jewellery, which makes any outfit instantly look 90% more summery. It also pimps out the colour of your eyes, sets fire to your outfit (not literally, that would be bad: aesthetically). This was among my fave of the necklaces (the Adrianus, £35)
And here I am, look, wearing two at once.

In other news, I appear to sort of suddenly actually be classified, by some, as an
