Better late than never! I thought I’d show you the Advent calendar I made the kids this year. I wanted to do something colourful, so I decided to do some Ombre effect water colouring on tags stamped with numbers. At the back of each tag is a cryptic treasure hunt […]
I’ve been wanting to show you my second work space for quite some time now. This weekend was the first in a long while that I wasn’t working at the hospital. It was also lucky that the sun decided to peek through those thick Winter clouds, allowing me to shoot with […]
It was rather grey in London this Saturday, but no fear, rays of sunshine were to be had at the Remodelista market. This was Remodelista’s one day curated shopping event, bringing local designers and creators under one roof. It was held in The New Craftsmen building. The New Craftsmen works […]
Happy new week all ! I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to my wonderful readers who have supported and voted for me to reach the finals of the Amara Interior blog awards last week. I am so happy to announce that I WON the award in the […]
This is the home of UK interior designers Russell and Jordan, also known as 2 Lovely Gays. Earlier this year Jordan was the runner up of a UK homes show called the Great Interior design challenge. When I discovered their website last week, I was instantly drawn to their design aesthetic […]
On Saturday afternoon, after work, I decided I needed to unwind. How best to do that than to do a bit of styling and redecorating in my son’s bedroom. So, here’s a 30 minute makeover! Click here to see what his bedroom used to look like. I went with a relaxed […]

Recently I styled up a vignette taking inspiration from John Lewis’s new Winter Luxe EDIT. Winter Luxe to me screams a cosy blanket, steaming hot tea and sweet treats. Then, to snuggle up in a warm blanket with a favourite novel! I have picked the super soft Flannelette Herringbone Throw from […]
I hosted a teen pinata party with a sleepover for 17 girls last night, for my daughter. It started at 630pm and the noisy fun went on till 3am but hey, it’s half term holidays for the girls. Here’s the cake I ordered from Crumbs and Doilies. Covered in the […]
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 […]
I’ve noticed lately that many design bloggers have moved into their own creative work ‘Studios’. I’m going to cheat and call my study my studio. After all, I did spend yesterday afternoon there, crafting up pumpkins for my Halloween collaboration, soon to be revealed. Those who follow me on Instagram […]
