Jet lag is crippling – I end up in a complete fog for 2 days. This will be exacerbated this year because our clocks change tonight. Thrilled about Spring being almost here, but I know the kids will be bouncing out of bed at 5am tomorrow morning, and after a party for 25 6 year olds today I might not be too keen on that! Hugh turned 6 on the 6th and I have never seen him so excited before. He has written a list of all the things he wants to do for his birthday and the party along with a trip to his favorite BBQ joint will complete it. Think of me this morning while I am bouncing on trampolines and whizzing down zip lines…
The outfits over the past couple of days have revolved around comfort – essential for jet lag recovery!
Shoes – Marks and Spencer Limited Edition skate shoes // Jeans – Zara boyfriend jeans // T-shirt – French Connection Amelia t-shirt
Boots – Marks and Spencer Autograph biker boots // Jeans – BlankNYC faux leather // Dress – ASOS (currently on sale!) // Jacket – Gap (similar here) // Bag – Alexander Wang Rocco (similar here)
Celebrating Hugh’s birthday made me reminisce about this time last year – look at me a year ago! It makes me want my hair short again!

Your hair is nice now but when it’s short makes you look edgy, stunning and taller. You are lucky to have such fab hair x
I know I’ll go short again eventually – I think the longer hair makes my face look bigger – though admittedly I’m a few lbs heavier than this time last year too!! I’m going to keep it long through the summer though as it is so easy to air dry – short hair needs styling! xx
Oh brilliant tartan dress, is it too short to wear on its own or did you just fancy a funk up? Mine arrives tomorrow – YAY!
You look brilliant and I agree that jet lag is a foul thing!

I think it could be worn on it’s own with tights – like Frances did – I was just a bit chilly on Friday! Over the jet lag now and the shorts are on today – Spring is here!
You look great Joanna. Happy birthday to Hugh. I didn’t ” know” you a year ago so haven’t seen your hair that short. It suits you. I like it now though too. Hope the jet lag is easing off xxx
Feeling much better thanks!!! It helps that the weather is glorious here – spring has sprung! xx
Jet lag sucks at the best of times but dealing with a 6yr olds party too?! You’re amazing! Happy Birthday to your boy! I love that checked tunic dress on you & your hair is getting past that annoying growing stage too so stick with it a bit longer! It does look amazing short but I know how much you want to try it long again! Ax
