I was really excited when I saw the muted pastel tones within the John Lewis Natural Texture Edit collection. They were all my favourites, from duck egg blue to dusky pinks and minty greens. Inspired by the colours, and after a not so small shopping trip, I decided to style up a further curated collection […]

Birchbox and Habitat – cool make-up and beauty storage.
A few weeks back, I was invited to a wonderful dinner party co-hosted by Birchbox and Habitat. The dinner was catered from Social Pantry. Usually when I go out to dinners full of new people, I can’t concentrate on eating, as I’m usually busy chatting. However, the food was so amazing […]
Habitat sofas – a design blogger’s pick of the new Spring/Summer season collection 2015.
