Seasons by Amanda Start
Rooted in the seasons, shaped by experience and always evolving
Hello and welcome! I’m Amanda and I’m so happy you’ve found your way to my seasonal corner of the internet.
Together with my husband Patrick I live on the edge of Dorset, fortuitously placed between the coast and countryside. We’re on the verge of yet another life chapter - becoming two again as our daughter begins the process of flying the nest post-university. In my spare hours and downtime, I love to spend as much time as possible beside (or in) the sea, walking in the forest, sinking into the pages of a book and cooking good food from scratch.
Through stories, seasonal inspiration and the considered edits I create and share here, I hope to encourage you to find more beauty and joy in the life you already have. I believe in living with intention, staying close to nature and appreciating the smallest of things. I'll always try to share ideas that feel a little aspirational, but also honest, relatable and real.
I’ve been inhabiting this online world for over eighteen years in many guises including being a blogger, influencer, online style advisor, style column writer and content creator for small businesses. I’ve hosted workshops, attended fashion week shows, spoken on panels, appeared in a few mainstream media publications, rocked up at numerous press events and even attended a few glitzy parties. The kind that I thought were forever off limits to a forty something mother who used to work in Finance until she discovered the world of blogging!
Regardless of the type of content I’ve shared over the years, the turn of the seasons has always been a huge source of joy and inspiration for me… never more so than in these latter years. Life looks and feels different in every season and so does the way we choose to live within it. Each one brings its own rhythm and an invitation to evolve – an opportunity to soften into growth, abundance, rest or reflection – a path that best suits life at any given time.
Seasons by Amanda Start celebrates the art of everyday living in alignment with those chapters; paying close attention to the simple joys, a cosy collected home and developing a considered style that feels truly yours. Here you’ll find plenty of inspiration for all of this as well as thoughts and notes on cooking, reading, nature and wellbeing.
I hope it becomes an inspiring place to return to when you want to slow down a little and take time to create those considered, beautiful moments everyday… just because.
