Welcome February, 2025

by Lisa McGowan

Hi Girls,

Eventually January is over. That was one long long month. As I said during the week it felt like the year of January to me rather than the month of January. Well we are through it now and out the other side. The evenings are getting a little longer which I love. Once March comes you really can feel the Spring in the air and the evenings are longer thankfully. Although January was long, it was also super busy for me. Between the house, the shows and the launches it kept me very busy.

This weekend is a busy one. We are here in The Johnstown Estate getting ready for show number one. It’s been two years since we last held a live show. Today we will have 600 Ladies arriving and the same again tomorrow. I am a little nervous but excited at the same time. We have 29 items in our goodie bags and 23 brands with shopping stalls. That is a lot of folk to coordinate but I am really looking forward to it. The venue is really beautiful and the food was fabulous when we had the tasting last week. The show starts a little earlier this time at 4.00pm. I have a fabulous panel of women joining me onstage. They are fountains of knowledge in their relevant fields and I know the attendees will love it.

To celebrate the shows I have decided to run a 25% sale from 9.00 am this morning until midnight on Bank Holiday Monday. Those of you following me will know I only have a sale once a year on Black Friday but to accommodate all those that did not get tickets I felt this was the right thing to do. There are great bargains to be had. I included the taupe leather bag this time but very few are in stock so I don’t expect them to last long. CLICK HERE SHOP THE SALE.

It is all go with the house at the moment as well. Looks like a move in date April time. Well that is what I am hoping for anyways. The wooden floors have arrived. We wait two weeks before they fit them so hopefully by the end of the month the floors will be there or thereabouts. This week we have lots of site meetings. It really has ramped up with all the interior bits and pieces. I just can’t wait to move in. It feels like it is going on forever.

After the shows we are heading over to Paris for the weekend. Chris bought me a trip for Christmas and I cannot wait to go. I will be packing the runners and I know there will be a lot of steps. It has been a long time since I have been to Paris. He has it all booked. Chris is so organised, unlike myself. He will have the agenda and the schedule all perfectly sorted. He always says that I am impossible to buy for so experiences is where it is all at. I love to travel so much and now that Daragh is older it is much easier for me to go. All I need to do really is get Murph sorted. Honestly I could nearly book a seat for Murph and he would sit up beside us. That dog is almost human I swear to God. He makes me laugh so much.

The bronzers launched yesterday and you all seemed to love them! Girls, you know I love an all year round bronzed look and I find the easiest way to add a little warmth to your face is with a powder bronzer. Whether you’re looking for a subtle warmth or a sculpted, bronzed look, this silky, blendable powder delivers effortlessly. I know you will love it because it has Natural, buildable coverage – Perfect for light to medium skin tones. It’s a Smooth & silky texture – Blends seamlessly for a flawless finish. It is also Enriched with skin-loving ingredients – Jojoba oil and vitamin E nourish and hydrate while you wear it – CLICK HERE TO BUY.

I know lots of you will be receiving the puffer coats and also the herringbone blazers over the past few days and early next week. The Herringbones flew out the door again. They really are fabulous. I love them but that is them done now. The puffers are just the best. This is the last drop now as I have my short puffers coming at the end of March and then I have a new style launching in the Autumn. I will keep you posted on them. I am still working on them but nearly there.

My long awaited leggings are launching this month, girls. After three long years they will be going on sale at the end of the month. I have to say I love them. I genuinely love them and I know you will too. They have the perfect amount of compression in all the right places and are a true winner. They are true to size so stick with your own size. I cannot wait to get them out to you. The leather belts will also be launching. We are launching the black with both gold and silver hardware options. The burgundy stripe shirts will also be launching and the sage walking jackets. I will let you know during the month what dates we are looking at for each one. I am also hoping to have the bodycare launched for Mother’s Day, but I will keep you posted on that too. Those of you following me a long time will know this has taken years but we are nearly there now.

That is about all my news for now. As I said, a busy weekend ahead here in Johnstown Estate. Keep an eye on stories although I might not be on as much with the shows but I will try keep you updated on all the goings on.

Thanks so much for everything as always,
Lisa Xx
