How is it December again??? At the risk of sounding really old, where has this year gone? While I'm giddy at the thought of the big day drawing ever nearer, I've been so caught up in tree-dressing, advent calendar-ing and listening to Christmas radio that I have totally forgotten to do any present shopping- oops! Much ...
Stuck for what to get your friend/relative who's just had a baby? You're not alone. In all honesty, until I had Daisy, I was just as clueless and I would have more than likely bought the failsafe - flowers. The reason for this post came about because I've recently had quite a lot of friends ...
With dwindling funds leftover from decorating to splurge on furniture and acutely aware that our small person may well indeed wreck any expensive items we did splash out on I have found myself following the upcycling herd and my is it satisfying (and cheap!). I had always been aware of upcycling and hacks and regularly ...
In the spirit of New Year new me, 2017 may still be in it's infancy but I have already changed my sartorial dressing habits, something I have not done for years... I am wearing colour. I have to confess that since having a little girl I like pink. I must be clear though, I don't mean the ...
One of my favourite spaces in our home centres around a star-shaped light I got years ago back before the sad demise of BHS. It stayed in it’s box patiently awaiting our house move and then when the dining room was finally finished it came out and now takes pride of place on the sideboard. ...
As my obsession with flora and fauna has grown, a recent visit to the hidden gem that is H&M’s home department lead to an excellent and affordable discovery for our grey living room... The hunt for the perfect cushions to adorn our grey sofa and work with our living room (and a baby) has been ongoing for quite sometime. ...
Aside from wearing a lot of grey, monochrome and the odd flash of navy I do have to admit I have a soft spot for a bit of camouflage. The beauty of camouflage (living up to it’s name quite literally), is it’s ability to blend seamlessly with a classic palette of monochrome or grey making it accessible ...
For those of us like me, who cannot keep a plant alive despite all my best efforts, this green fingered trend is perfect and won't need watering. Bringing the outdoors in, cheese plants, ferns and palms are big news and feature on everything from bed linen and shower curtains through to the smaller end of the ...
Having spent the first few weeks of Daisy's life trying to get out of my pyjamas it would appear the fashion world would have me stay in them (baby sick optional!). Aside from being comfortable, the boxy fit can't fail to flatter and for this reason a simple pyjama shirt can be worn by everyone. River ...
Every evening before I feel I can relax it's my mission to put away the dozens of plastic toys and books that litter the living room. As Daisy has grown so too has her collection so the hunt for chic storage was on... Ultimately I wanted something that would work in our living room as this ...
I'm a Fashion Editor, stylist and writer currently renovating our first home as well as recently becoming a Mummy for the first time to Daisy. Love anything grey, Scandi inspired, am a little bit camera shy and have a penchant for a flamingo. I'm also a big fan of the great British High Street and regularly scour it for amazing finds to prove you can have Style & Substance...
