It may still be January, and despite a light sprinkling of snow today, Spring is in the air for me. Why? you may ask. Quite simply because I’m starting to see Tulips being sold everywhere. To me, Tulips signify impending Spring and bright optimism. Have you ever bought a gorgeous bunch of […]
Christmas may be over, but the season of gifting never ends. Valentine’s day is round the corner, then there’s Easter, and the list goes on. I love shopping for gifts, so this is music to my ears. However, it’s also lovely to be the recipient of a surprise gift. There’s […]
I am honoured to have been picked by Motorola UK to be one of their industry experts at their Moto Design school launched today in London. As I couldn’t make the physical pop up event, I have produced content here and on social media to run alongside it. Hope you will enjoy the […]
This weekend has been both colourful and busy. A few weeks ago, I was asked by both the The Joy of plants, part of the Flower Council of Holland and Red Magazine to style a kitchen in an event to showcase the Happy Life Trend. The event was designed to […]

I was recently asked by one of my favourite online children’s clothes and lifestyle store, Alex and Alexa to collaborate on a Halloween feature in which I was interviewed. Even better, I got to do what I love best, to style and shoot a party at home with products from my favourite […]

In continuation of my Arctic Pine, Scandinavian theme, here is instalment number 2 of my Christmas home decor. This is before I show you the children’s decoration in a later blog post. A far cry from the toned down minimalism, but a relaxed style that I adore too. At last, […]
