We caught up with influencer Millie Woodman to talk all things fashion and lifestyle whilst in lockdown! Take a read of Millie's thoughts on our range, her favourite W.O.A.T item keeping her cosy right now and what's she's getting up to at home.

'We are now into week five and is anyone else still just wearing baggy jeans and comfy jumpers like me?!
.
My new tee which is the Thornham T-Shirt from Whale of a Time is LIFE. It’s everything I love - cute girly colours and so comfy. Whale of a Time is a UK brand, it’s only four years old and the best thing about it is that all the products are made from sustainable and organic fabrics - mainly all 100% organic cotton. Using this cotton makes it safer for the environment, so why would they not? I think it’s fab!
.
With a range of different products from sweatshirts, quarter zips, short and long sleeve tees, they have it all and to be honest I can’t wait to expand on my collection! It’s the perfect, comfy & casual but cute attire for every day wear.
I don’t think I'll know how to dress myself up again for cocktails with the girls or a date night with the boyfriend once this is all over but meanwhile Whale of a Time is getting me through chilled days & keeping me so comfy at home!
Our lockdown Q&A with Millie:
- What's been your lockdown hobby so far: I'm loving cooking at the moment! There is five of us living at home and I'm making new dishes using what we have in the cupboard and setting myself a challenge of not wasting anything which is going well so far.
- What's your fave film or TV series: I'm a massive Shrek fan, I could binge watch all of them all day, every day - also a new Netflix cheesy programme is Too Hot To Handle - it's incredible!
- What's the one thing you couldn't live without in lockdown: My family! It's a tough time at the moment and we are all keeping each other sane, without them I would be a completely different person.
- What can't you wait to do when lock down is over: To be honest, I'm not massively missing anything! All I'm excited about is to be able to go to the supermarket and not feel dirty or like I'm going to get into trouble. I am also excited about giving the rest of my family and grandparents a huge hug as well!

What’s New?
We’re delighted to introduce our exclusive jewellery collaboration with Hiho Silver, a brand celebrated for its beautifully crafted sterling silver designs. Bringing together Hiho’s renowned craftsmanship and our signature block colour style, this limited edition collection features two timeless pieces designed to be worn and loved every day.
The Cherry Roller Bangle
The Exclusive Sterling Silver Hiho x Whale of a Time Cherry Roller Bangle makes a striking statement. Handcrafted from solid sterling silver, it features enamel roller beads in our iconic Suffolk red and navy, along with a whale-tail bead at its centre — a nod to our Norfolk coastal roots.
The Dinky Charms Necklace
The Exclusive Sterling Silver Hiho x Whale of a Time Dinky Charms Necklace is a delicate everyday piece with subtle WOAT charm. Crafted in sterling silver, it’s perfect worn alone for understated elegance or layered with your favourite necklaces for a relaxed coastal look.
Layer with the Weybourne Quarter Zip Fleece
On cooler coastal days, the Cherry Roller Bangle adds a subtle touch of colour and craftsmanship when worn with the Weybourne Quarter Zip Fleece. The rich red and navy enamel beads echo the classic country and coastal colour palette that Whale of a Time is known for. Paired with the soft, practical warmth of the Weybourne fleece, this sterling silver bangle creates a stylish yet relaxed outfit perfect for seaside walks, countryside adventures or casual weekends.
Comfort & Style with the Penzance Puffer Jacket
When the temperature drops, the Hiho Silver x Whale of a Time jewellery collection adds a refined finishing touch to cosy layers like the Penzance Puffer Jacket. The sleek sterling silver of the Dinky Charms Necklace contrasts beautifully with the practical warmth of the puffer jacket, creating a balance of function and style. It’s an ideal pairing for coastal days out, combining timeless jewellery with one of Whale of a Time’s most versatile outerwear pieces.
Style with the Torbay Deck Shirt
For super easy style, the Hiho Silver x Whale of a Time Dinky Charms Necklace pairs beautifully with the Torbay Deck Shirt. The clean lines and classic maritime feel of the deck shirt complement the delicate sterling silver necklace perfectly, creating a timeless look inspired by days spent by the sea. Whether layered over a tee or worn on its own, the Torbay Deck Shirt and this elegant necklace make an easy everyday combination that captures the relaxed spirit of coastal living.
Everyday Comfort with the Suffolk Quarter Zip Sweatshirt
For dressing your go-to everyday wear, the Cherry Roller Bangle and Dinky Necklace work perfectly with the Suffolk Quarter Zip Sweatshirt. The sweatshirt’s classic country-meets-coast style pairs effortlessly with the handcrafted sterling silver aspects of the collection, while the signature red and navy enamel rollers subtly echo the brand’s heritage colour palette. It’s an easy way to elevate a casual outfit while keeping the comfortable, laid-back feel that defines the Whale of a Time lifestyle.
Elegant, timeless and crafted to last, both pieces capture the spirit of Whale of a Time perfectly.
