I love Sundays. I’ve spent the day in the most beautiful way, gardening. The garden is looking very autumnal with our show stopping Virginia Creeper turning the brightest shades of red, crimson, orange and yellow. The creeper crept all along our fence during the summer offering its green leafy coverage in abundance. But it’s this time… Read More Sunday Supplement #37
A couple of weeks ago over dinner with friends, I was introduced to the Danish idea of ‘Hygge’. Now I knew the Danes have an amazing sense of style but I knew nothing of this Scandi coated lifestyle nonsense. Over dinner, I learned it’s the way the Danes get through the cold dark winter by restoring… Read More Sunday Supplement #36
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,… Read More British Red Cross Shop Portobello Road
Happy Bank Holiday! Can it be the last bank holiday of the year? Possibly the end of Summer? I’ve had a lovely long weekend. I’ve gone a little green. I styled some hydrangeas for my friend’s wedding. I’ve reorganised my garden and my shed(s). I’ve pruned picked and potted herbs, ferns and my new favourite succulents.… Read More Sunday Supplement #34
Bright lights, big city, this past weekend for two days of London Collections Men, menswear in all shapes and forms; showroom exhibitions, presentations, and catwalk shows. With one night in the beautiful My Hotel Bloomsbury, I needed to pack a variety of muti-functional hard working outfits that would look good and travel well. I decided to… Read More London Weekend Wardrobe – LCM
Hurray for a beautiful Summers Day. It’s officially British Summertime and boy did we have a scorcher today? I spent the entire day in the garden, eating, entertaining, relaxing. In the two and a half years we have been in our much loved Victorian Semi we have transformed the garden on a teeny budget. I’ve… Read More Garden Style
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… Read More Met Gala 2016
I’ve got a thing for silver leather. It started last Summer when a lot of brands were using metallics and iridescent looks on leather clothes and accessories. It was around that time that I got my eye on this bold silver leather Rucksack by Jas MB London. Similar here. This Summer the high Streets are embracing the… Read More Silver Leather – Style Diary #07
Where did Sunday go? I’ve been lazily trying to rearrange my studio, I say lazily because apart from the cleaning I’ve been trying to rearrange my books. Trouble is, every time I move a book to sort it, keep, chuck, or maybe? The book takes on a story from my past, a memory or a… Read More Sunday Supplement #27
So I’m having a thing with pink at the moment. Not in your face fuchsia or hot pink but a kind of pink take on neutrals. Dusty pink reminds me of the 1970’s so let’s call it Pig’s breath (I’m joking) how about bubble gum? No, it’s the New Pink. New Pink was all over the… Read More Preen by Thornton Bragazzi – LFW AW16
