New prints by Angie B
Sometimes, I spot something and there is that instinctive ‘like’. These prints called Paper cities and places by Angie B are one of those reflex reactions. They are prints of her original paper cut art work. I love the vibrant colours and that unifying bubblegum pink in all the prints. You can […]
John Lewis Winter Luxe Edit.
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 […]

Thornback and Peel’s silent auction for Music as Therapy during London Design Festival 2014.
Thornback and Peel’s prints are quirky, cool and quintessentially British.

Even better, they will be holding a silent auction for them during London Design Festival, […]
