We went skiing for the first time last February. It was so daunting and to be honest it seems like so much hassle I really thought about just staying at home beforehand.

Firstly, where to stay? The choices are endless, again the best thing to do is ask around. The lovely Karen kindly shared her top tip with us, Cavallino Bianco, this was a true top tip. The hotel is set in the Dolomites in Val Gardena. The staff are so kind and welcoming and the rooms are luxurious. There is a mix of nationalities and families and all low key and relaxed. It worked so well for us:

Front of hotel

1) The kids club was amazing with full size soft-play and theatre and as we had an age range from 2 to 6 covers all stages well. The children loved it and never wanted to leave. The pool area has water slides and the gym even has children work out area.

2) The food was out of this world, every meal was special and we didn’t feel like we had to leave the hotel. Top tip is to feed the children early drop them back to the kids club and then the adults can eat upstairs.  Then one of us would pick the children up and they could play in the lounge while we sipped a cocktail.

3) The ski school is lovely, the instructors spoke great English and were very kind. I cannot believe how much our little ones learned, they can go out all day, but as a neurotic mum I spent the first few days spying on them and as long as they were very well cared for I was happy!

4) We had expert and beginners in our group and the slopes cater for all. I, as a terrified skier, was impressed by the wide piste so I wasn’t spending the entire time on a ski lift and there was space to fall over.

5) The village is very down to earth and you don’t have to dress up but has enough going on if you want to venture out.  There are lovely skiwear shops at very reasonable prices.

I absolutely LOVE working but 2023 is about more of a balance for me❤️
Whether it is making time for exercise or a chat on the phone 📞 
Or just lighting that candle / pouring a glass of wine and kicking back. 
Same with my kids great book from @claudiawinkle and she says the best thing you can do for your teenagers is to let them SLEEP 💤
I really have stopped buying mid level brands and either wait for the sales or buy preloved.

 It takes a bit more time but it is worth it ❤️

This Balenciaga dress is one of my first preloved buys is over 8 years old and I still wear it.

As evening wear is worn so seldom it is much better to buy it preowned.

We have a huge edit from #Gucci to #roksanda all so well priced and ready to ship. 

We have individual videos and measurements on line to help you choose ❤️
Often cheaper than renting and you can go up the brand ladder and afford top brands as evening wear does not hold its value.

Pricing ! So important to realise that when you come to resell items it is a BUYERS market.

It is irrelevant what we paid it is only worth what someone is willing to lay out. 

Most of us are selling pieces we bought in the wrong size / don’t suit us or fit or just bored . 
My own personal view is once I have decided to sell it I want it GONE
I try to learn but getting something back is better than having it blocking up 🆙 your wardrobe. Or donate it if you can afford to. Lots of our clients help us support @royaltrinityhospice or the #salvationarmy

Bottega Veneta- truly resilient to wear and tear 

So many other brands stretch and wear so badly but in my experience Bottega bags don’t .
This is a real FIND - now £459 as new a real investment given that the new piece’s retail at over £2k

One of the only influencers I truly ADORE ❤️and actually buy the pieces she recommends that work on me. 

@monikh has a gorgeous contemporary yet feminine sense of style and definitely one to watch ! 
@monikh always looks comfortable and you know she doesn’t just put on an outfit for a photo. 
Not to mention the fact that she brings something new and doesn’t just follow the usual instagram trends.
I have learned from her about the subtle use of colour to add softness and compliment any outfit. 
We have put together a preloved edit from our store @relovedagain
