Catching up with last month’s #KellysStyleChatter in @hellofashion_uk, and feeling in total awe of the magazine’s small but mighty team pulling together our future Summer issue from so many separate homes right now... Feat. My trip to Sri Lanka with @resplendentceylon, @_aje_, @ysl, @bembien, @cocoonclub, @rockthejumpsuit, @laura.fantacci x @tillysveaas, @rotatebirgerchristensen and @goop and @olioeosso, alongside my current read, #WhereTheCrawdadsSing by @authordeliaowens, some @tonyschocolonely_uk_ire’s fair-trade, slave-free chocolate and some (*gifted) lockdown essentials; Bath oil from @aromatherapyassociates, hand cream from @antipodesskincare and the most boujie hand santitiser ever from @susannekaufmann_ 🧿 [ph. @lucylaucht and @rosalindalcazarphotography] #TLCxHFM
To reiterate @cleowade tonight, ‘there is no right way to feel right now,’ and there is certainly no right way to act; Some may be using this time at home to be super-productive, but if just managing to make it through the damn day without panicking or crying feels like an achievement in itself, I am sending a little extra love your way tonight... 🤍 Feeling overwhelmed or scared right now is totally natural - Life has become tricky, unfamiliar, and increasingly isolated. STRETCH (I’ve found gentle mat Pilates classes on YouTube to be a helpful guide). CHAT - Even when you feel like shutting down (WhatsApp, Skype, FaceTime, HouseParty - whatever, just keep connecting with friends and releasing - they likely need you too). HELP - Keep motivated by using any spare time to volunteer or help the more vulnerable in your community (@beonhand, @nhswebsite) or donate to a worthy cause, if in a position to do so (@age_uk, @fareshareuk, @thefelixproject). Above all else, we need to remember to BREATHE (soothe your nervous system by spending a few minutes with your eyes closed, inhaling for a count of four, and exhaling for eight, whenever you need a little boost of calm...) If you have any good coping techniques for the lockdown, please share below - it might help someone else more that you know... 🤍 When your homie hears you cough... 👀 All on ice for the foreseeable (although, no longer also on dust... #LockdownSpringClean 🧼) I have had some serious time to daydream of sunshine and new places in the last few days (here’s looking at you Rajasthan, Namibia, Rwanda, Lisbon, New Orleans, Nashville...) I’ve tagged some amazing places I’ve been drooling over on IG - Where else do you recommend I take these fellas to? 🧳 #TLCVacation #StayHomeButMakeExcitingPlans Professional Neighborhood Watcher these days... 👀 #StayHomeStaySafe [*gifts tagged] Back in the good old days when I used to see (and dress identically to) my friends... Wearing @jasminehemsley x @needleandthreadlondon 🌸#ChloeDidntGetTheMemo #Awks... Ask not what staying at home and sitting on your sofa can do for you, but what staying at home and sitting on your sofa can do for your country... 💁🏻‍♀️ If you can, you must. #FlattenTheCurve #TogetherApart Aside from the worrying estimates of impending serious illness, it’s fair to say that a lot of our businesses and livelihoods will also be affected over the next few months... probably longer. It is hard to know how best to do my job right now; wanting to be both sensitive, but also provide some perhaps welcome distraction at this time. I’m sure how I navigate this dilemma will likely change day-by-day, as this scary situation evolves, but for now however, I hope to maintain a happy balance between raising awareness and sharing style - whilst importantly, continuing to support small, ethical brands who may need our help more than ever moving forwards. Speaking of which, the amazing #FrancisStories cardigan that I wore in the Spring sunshine last week (and most days since), was a gorgeous gift from @gatherandsee, who offer a beautifully curated collection of sustainable, hand-made fashion from designers around the world (including Kenya!) Those contrast pale pink buttons had me at hello... 💞
