Hello all, here is instalment number 1 of my Christmas decor at home. This creation was inspired by the mood board from my last blog post. The theme was ‘Arctic Pine’. The aim was for a monochrome palette whilst incorporating elements of nature. Fragrance was also key to mood setting. […]
London last week was rather damp and drab, so I have decided to show you Cath Kidston’s new Spring/Summer 2014 collection. Hope this brings some sunshine cheer. There are seven themes to their new collection – Safari, Painterly Rose, Tea time, Budgies, Field rose, Patchwork and spots. I have picked […]
Hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend. I certainly had a jam packed one, but filled with so much fun. On Saturday morning, I made a whistle stop tour of the Renegade Craft fair in East London’s Brick Lane, then lunch at the highly recommended Berner’s Tavern. The Renegade Craft fair […]
It’s Halloween in 2 days. Anyone planning on going Trick or Treating? I haven’t been very organised this year with Halloween decor, but have stocked up the candy jar with treats that I have bought from LA – Pumpkin coloured Kit-Kat bars, Halloween themed Hershey chocolates and Tootsie rolls. My […]

Whilst in LA, I have spotted a real trend for bright colours and bold prints. We are often spoilt for choice when selecting a paint colour for our wall and furniture. Imagine now being able to pick a colour tone for your lamp base. This has been made possible by Lamps […]
The blogtour LA with Modenus has started and what an amazing start it was. I am in awe of Veronika Miller for organising such an amazing itinerary for us, considering she has just finished a blogtour in London. The highlight of day 1 was our visit to Kelly Wearstler’s office […]
