Palm Print Sunday
Don’t you think some words go better together than others? I love the two words Summer Afternoons, a match made in heaven. I also like Pink Lemonade, who doesn’t? How about Palm Print? Me I love it! Can’t get enough of it. Makes me think of Victorian Conservatories with giant palms, and holidays and sipping tea…

Sunday Supplement #41 |Garden Life
I think I speak for the whole country when I say thank the Lord for the sun this week. After a devastating start to the week with events in Manchester, I think everyone spent the beginning of the week feeling sad and slightly down. I suffer from anxiety and any sort of sad news can work as…

Packing for a Spring Break
The first glimpse of spring for me is my neighbour’s Magnolia Tree, the most majestic of bold pink petals growing high into the sky. The second is the sudden burst of cherry blossom in our garden. Hundreds of tiny buds open to display an astonishing show of pink. The Magnolia and The Blossom have two…

Topshop Ankle Boots
We are kinda in the middle of the bleak midwinter here in Blighty. Except its not been that bleak, I mean its very cold but we have had an astonishing amount of sun shine days. I mean I’ve spent as much time in ballet flats and trainers as full on boots. To be honest…

I’m forever dressing my home, bringing in new finds moving older things around. There’s nothing I like more than curating a shelf. My dining room shelves are always changing. Here are my tips on shelf…

Few things in life inspire me as much as Charity and Fashion when they combine it makes me very happy. A couple of weeks ago I was invited to The Good Look Fashion Show.

British Red Cross Shop Portobello Road
Back in the Summer, I was asked to attend a shop opening. No ordinary shop this was a brand new British Red Cross Charity Shop on Portobello Road, West London. I arrived at 164 Portobello Road ready for a rummage through the usual charity shop donations, perhaps I would get a bargain? Or designer find,…

The music…

I packed for my holiday carefully chosen off the shoulder tops, shirts, and dresses, ranging from Marks and Spencer’s much hailed White…

My work wardrobe although varied has some no-nonsense staples. For this season frayed jeans (soft, comfortable denim) clog sandals of various colours and heights, shirts, striped, frilled, plain white and a good smartish jacket. This last week I’ve found a new staple that I now seem to be wearing every day, behold the statement necklace. I’ve…

Met Gala 2016
I couldn’t pull myself out of bed this morning. Not a hangover from the bank holiday but an amazing feed of beautiful people in the most overly sparkly frocks. I was, of course, on Instagram glued to the morning after last night’s Met Gala. The annual Met Gala held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in…
