Things DOE that are not DOE ✨1. Firstly, THE DRESS! It got so many lovely compliments that I thought I’d share the dress’s journey to Buckingham Palace. I originally had another outfit in mind, but then I saw this gorgeous polka dot dress on Vinted and it just screamed Buckingham Palace to me, so I bought it. I made a few little adjustments to it using my @janomeuk of course. After I posted it online, the gorgeous Olivia (slide 4), who sold it to me, saw the post and was so pleased as she’d worn it to the races literally two weeks ago. And I absolutely love that. A dress that’s gone on a journey Now the question is… where to next? 😉 Who wants it?2. MY HAIR (slide 6). Legit, I didn’t leave enough time to wash it after my HIIT class that morning, so the bun had to happen 😂 There’s honestly no better way for me to get a flawless sleek look than using @thesmoothcompany__ 👌🏼 (Also can we appreciate the new travel size?!)In the end, I think it worked perfectly with the whole look especially in the heat we had. Slide 7 me attempting to do a GRWM… and giving up after the intro 😂 3. WHO WERE MY GUESTS? There was literally no discussion about that. My rock solid support team: @aimee_fuller and my agent Mike ❤️ Honestly, thank you both for sitting through both of my speeches. You don’t understand how comforting that is. I’m truly blessed to have you by my side and delivering cakes in between speeches too 🧁😂4. WHERE DID WE GO AFTER? (slide 10) @sheesh_uk Mayfair location is sensational. We walked across Green Park (would’ve been rude not to in that weather ), and just 10 minutes later we were having one of the most satisfying meals you could ask for.Honestly… de-li-cious 🤤 And the service is proper “royal” standard.5. WHO DID I GET TO CATCH UP WITH? It was so lovely seeing familiar faces again. @saradaviescc and I took turns speaking on one of the stages. @tylerwestt and @mollyrainford looked gorgeous as always together . We all even managed to take a selfie in the palace loo 😝I also had a moment to congratulate the goalie @officialdavidseaman on Arsenal’s success . #And @damekellyholmes delivered such an inspirational speech on the main stage! by @katyajones

🏅Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award achievers- WOW! You are exceptional humans. @dofeuk What I wanted to do, is give you reassurance that EVERYTHING WILL BE OK. I hope I managed to do so. Ultimately, this award is not about perfection. Not performance. Not even the final result.It’s about how you approach life. Your character. Your growth.Your BECOMING.And if you can stay in that flow- that constant becoming, that dance of life… Life can become more extraordinary than you could possibly imagine.Thank you @dofeuk for giving these young people such valuable tools to take forward and for celebrating them with this beautiful event. What an honour it was to be invited and to speak for you all at the Buckingham Palace. by @katyajones
