Today is the day. The day I try on everything in my wardrobe. The day I finally admit to myself I am no longer a size small, and I never will be again.

I still have so many items of clothing that haven’t fit me since my Type One Diabetes diagnosis seven and a half years ago.

I’m forcing myself to embrace myself, and I didn’t think I was going to get emotional about it but here we are!

So I’m going to empty the wardrobe and try everything on. And with a wardrobe my size today is going to be a work out 😂

Anyway, eyes peeled for me selling my beautiful clothes, to make way for clothes that feel truly perfect on my different (but still perfect) body.

Love,
Nicole ###

There seem to be SO many accounts having a pop at charity shops recently, and I’m not here for it.

I have shopped in them my whole life, volunteered, collaborated with them and now I work in one. Here are some of the things I am constantly reading recently that make me want to scream into my phone.

Let me know, do you agree or disagree? Has this made you think differently?

Couldn’t see this shirt go to waste when we found it in the donations this week. The collar was ruined but the rest of the shirt was perfect, and now she’s living her new life rocking a frill collar with a matching scrunchie.

I’m back in Edition on Sunday so she’ll be available in there soon raising vital funds for Marie Curie 🌼

Empty advent calendars are such an amazing way to store silk scarves and accessories!

I found a cashmere jumper in my wardrobe that had been eaten by moths, so I panicked that all of my silk scarves were out and ready for the taking. I was going to get some zip pouches to hang from the door but this is SO MUCH CUTER! And tidier.

Well chuffed, and now I also remember what scarves I have 😂

Happy 5th birthday to my beautiful, crazy, hilarious baby girl.

Life would be so much less without her. She completed our family and makes us laugh every single day. I never knew such a small little bean could have so much personality.
