Holiday resolutions…time for a style review.
There aren’t many times when you can completely and unashamedly relax and unwind. But the holiday to Borgo Egnazia was a time when I could. Relaxing by the pool with my newly discovered Martini Spritzer, I decided I was going to make some holiday resolutions. With no chores and no lists, my mind was free to focus on the future…and my style!

Everyone knows the Italians have an impeccable eye for style but I have to say I was quite overcome by the effortless manner in which they pull this off. After a couple of days of hiding behind my ovesized Chanel’s I began to embrace it. I wasn’t going to be intimidated, instead I would join them in their unadulterated penchant for style.
[styled_box title=”My resolutions. My new style ‘rules’…” color=”pink”]Embrace brights.
This goes for lipstick too!
Accent a plain outfit with a pop of leopard – my new found love!
Be confident in your own style and wear your head high.[/styled_box]
[frame_center src=”http://www.mypollyanna.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/IMG_1667.jpg” href=””][/frame_center]Let’s see if I can stick to them….?!
Laura

![I’ve been so caught up with @herostockbridge I almost forgot I had this account . • I’m currently 9 days into a thirteen day stint at the shop + I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t getting a little bit like Groundhog Day now... • This summer was always going to be different ~ all the changes in the business meant no holiday + an adjustment to how the summer holidays were going to look for us as a family. • Of-course I love what I’m doing but I’m really appreciating the value of rest + reset. A change of scenery would be nice too ☺️ • The girls left on their first unaccompanied flight to Alderney + I’m joining them on Sunday for a few days when I intend to fully unplug • Have you ever had to sacrifice a summer?

![Almost eight months to the day since I became a surrogate mother and this special little man was born . Despite the grey hair and no make-up, this is one of my all time favourite photos. I could say more but for me, this photo says everything ❤️.

Hi Laura – My Holiday resolutions will be to try and keep my fitness up whilst away and after my holiday. I don’t want to slip back into bad habits just because people won’t be seeing me in a bikini
