This week’s a little different—I’m off work, the sun’s out, I’m running on social battery fumes, and it’s very much the week before payday. My cousin’s over from Australia, so I’m playing hostess, day-tripper, and trying not to spend every last penny. This is what’s in my bag right now: SPF, sanity savers, and little comforts that are keeping me functional, fresh-ish, and fun.

Finding a wedding guest dress that isn’t £300, sold out in your size, or giving accidental bridesmaid? It’s harder than it should be. These are the dresses and brands that were flattering, wearable, and still in stock (at least when I checked). I’ve included the one I actually wore at the end, plus a few that almost made the cut.

Everyday products that deliver max glow, minimal effort. Perfect for those of us balancing Teams calls, life chaos, and the occasional existential crisis. This is my roster of day-to-night faves!

As a corporate girly with ADHD, I’ve been through my fair share of routines and half-used products. These are the ones that actually stuck… the things I reach for on autopilot when I need to look put together but my brain’s still loading. No 12-step routines, no fluff - just daily staples that make me feel like I’ve got it together (even when I absolutely don’t).
