My Highlights of 2017: A Visual Diary

Lake Tahoe January 2017  
31/12/17

Love, Laughter & Learning

Location: Everywhere, even space.
Happy New Years Eve. Now I know I said that 2016 was the best year of my life in last years blog post. Well, I know I’ve definitely beaten it with 2017. This year has been a truly beautiful blur. It’s been a year filled with incredible opportunities, experienced alongside some of the most amazing people I’ve had the pleasure to both work and play with. I feel more settled than ever in both work and home, and feel more thankful than ever for the support, love and encouragement I receive from everyone in my life. From Alex and I moving into our new home, to the work goals I’ve achieved and from time spent with family and friends to the new places I’ve discovered along the way. 2017 has treated me very well this year and I count my blessings that as a family we’re moving into 2018 happy and healthy. My family sadly lost an incredibly special person this year who meant so much to all of us. Losing him has only spurred me on to make him proud of everything I choose to be a part of. This year’s for you Grandad and everything that’s to come. I miss you everyday. Here’s to many more beautiful memories and to making those we love and have lost, proud of everything that we do x

A trip to the idyllic Maldives in May was the perfect chance for some sunshine; but as always the work never stops.

And then it was time to explore magical Cuba and all it had to offer before my L’Oreal family whisked me off to red carpets galore. 

May’s highlight HAS to be the wedding of 2 of our favourite people: Carly & Leon. 

All of a sudden it was June and I was whisked away to Mexico with the wonderful team over at Revolve.

Then came the announcement of the new L’Oreal beauty squad that I am so proud to be a part of. 

I was then lucky enough to visit beautiful Shanghai with the always wonderful Lancome beauty team.

July brought another trip with the Revolve team; this time to the Hamptons and then to New York itself to celebrate my 28th birthday.

Then one of my favourite places on earth with my bestie; Chicago. 

In August I collaborated with one of my favourite evening wear brands Three Floor and it became one of my most successful collabs of the year. 

August also saw some much needed down time with my wonderful friends and family before I announced my new role as a Feel Unique ambassador and Alex and I moved into our new home.

The L’Oreal family then took the entire beauty squad to experience the Paris Fashion Week Balmain show and even closed down the Champs-Élysées for the last show of the season. 

After celebrating Inthefrow’s 5 year anniversary, October brought a beautiful trip to St Tropez with Clarins and my announcement of my Hugo Boss watches AW17 campaign along with Jim Chapman.

I was then lucky enough to work on the Specsavers x Balmain campaign and featured in a cool Barbie inspired shoot for Arcadia magazine.

Then in the blink of an eye it was time for possibly the busiest month of the year; November. An entire month filled with family, friends and our trip to America.

Our second Thanksgiving was spent in Chicago with wonderful friends continuing our newest traditions.

December saw my work with the incredible Monica Vinader, a joint project with Tiffany & Co. and most exciting of all; my announcement as the face of Ted Baker’s Christmas campaign. What a perfect end to the year!

Chicago December 2017  

A HUGE thank you from me to you, for being a part of this year with me. I couldn’t have achieved anything I have without the support and encouragement I am lucky enough to feel, every single day of this journey. I hope your 2017 has been just as memorable and I hope you’ll be a part of my 2018 too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart x
