The loveliest evenings are sometimes the ones you never see coming… ✨

It started with an unplanned bump into a great friend in the street, who suggested we go out on Friday night. What I didn’t know was that they had planned the entire evening — and I knew absolutely nothing about it.

All I was told was to be ready at 6.30pm and expect a tap on the door.

A short bus ride later, we arrived at Ladbroke Hall. And who knew this place existed? Certainly not me.

What an extraordinary find. A spectacular cocktail bar, beautiful restaurant, gorgeous gardens and outdoor spaces, an art gallery, wonderful cocktails… and then dinner, with live jazz taking us effortlessly into the evening. 🥂🎷

It was one of those rare evenings that felt both completely spontaneous and incredibly special. We talked, laughed, ate, drank, listened to jazz — and, naturally, ended up being the last ones to leave.

Thank you for such a thoughtful, unexpected and utterly wonderful evening. ❤️

Sometimes the best nights are the ones you know nothing about.

A weekend of joy.

A few friends over in the garden having a boogie followed by a nip down Cornwall to spend time with family.

What a treat to see you all 💛🩵💙🩷

What an August.

What a treat. 🇭🇷✨

A week sailing away from Split, island-hopping around Croatia, and somehow finding a new home that literally never stopped moving. The fun, the laughter, the swimming, the cooking, the eating, the people, and the absolute legends that were my cabin mates — everything was pretty much perfect.

Sleeping on a buoy and waking up to jump straight into the sea? Magical. 🌊 Learning to paddleboard? Kind of. Learning how to tie a yacht to the rocks? Let’s call that “developing a technique.” 😂

Croatia… thank you. What an epic, wonderful, unforgettable experience. Every island, every swim, every sunset, every meal and every moment made it so special.

And a huge thank you to everyone on both yachts who made the week what it was. You all made it one hell of a holiday. 💙⛵️🇭🇷 by @jo___davis

Cool dude!
That’s my Daddy. Totally chilled Father’s Day weekend in town. Tennis, football, whizzing round town looking for lunch, morning Serpentine coffees and swim. Lots of Cat love.
The perfect weekend.

This was an incredibly emotional couple of hours.

For more than a year, my team and I have worked relentlessly to create swimwear that truly works for women with a larger bust. This challenge has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and throughout this journey I’ve met so many women who have shared the same frustrations.

I passionately believe that every woman deserves to go to the beach, sit by the pool, and enjoy her holiday feeling comfortable, supported, confident, and beautiful.

The reality is that there are very few luxury swimwear options available for women who are mid-size or plus-size, and even fewer for those with a cup size above a D. It has felt like a gap that has been overlooked for far too long.

Penny, who is in her late 50s, has lived with these challenges for even longer than I have. Watching her try on our pieces, seeing her confidence grow, and hearing how she felt in them was incredibly moving. There may even have been a few tears.

Moments like these remind me exactly why we started this journey.

If you are a woman of any age, shape, or size and would like to come to The Held Space to try on our collection, receive a personalised fitting, and share your experience with us, I would absolutely love to hear from you. Spending that time together is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

This has always been a labour of love, and seeing our swimwear make a genuine difference to how women feel about themselves, their holidays, and their experiences means everything.

Have a wonderful weekend.

With love,

Jo 🤍 by @jo___davis

Queen Elizabeth II back wardrobe from baby to the last outfit she publicly wore. Her wedding dress to coronation dress. Even the dress she wore when she parachuted into London 2012 Olympics. What fun. @lindaduberleymylife

Dear @theprodigyofficial it was a night to be emotional. To remember. And to take us back to the 90’s.
Growing up a few fields from Keith’s farmhouse, these nights, and these guys hold a special place in my heart.

A weekend in Irish bliss.
All my favourite things about Ireland, wonderful company from my lovely friend who took me to her second home, the neighbours, the locals and the sauna operators. Sounds dodgy, it’s not.
To the wonderful food produce, namely local seafood, the best! And of course, the swim in the cold Loch and straight into the loch side Sauna - with views and whole lotta attitude.
