A Film I love. A play which is beautiful, awe-inspiringly, decadent, jawdroppingly, stylishly, colourfully, beautiful… I didn’t care a jot about the plot, aside from one scene: our protag...
I am a bit over these themed bars that seem to pop-up all over the shop. I quite like the Cellar Door, on The Strand, it’s right next to work, and there is a certain je ne sais quoi about drink...
1 x eight hour, forty minutes flight. 1 x seat-neighbour who spent the whole eight hours and forty minutes rearranging his nuts. 1 x epic snow flurry which meant we had to circle above the ground (wh...
I know it’s a bit, you know…. but I do love some fine dining, so as part of my ‘One Michelin Starred Restaurant per Month’ resolutions, my dear friend and I went to L’Au...
I knew very little about Fela Anikulapo Kuti, until Wednesday. All I knew, was that he was a pioneer of Afro-beat music. End of. It was with literally no trepidation that I agreed to see Fela! Part o...
Find a cheap flight. Travel the world for less.
What a terrible thing.
I was walking the backstreets of Chiswick the other day, and came across the wall below. It seemed to be the wall of a regular private house, if I was *any type* of bloggererer I would have written-d...

Last Saturday, I had a gorgeous day in the Surrey Countryside, with my Cousins Rob and Hannah and my Aunt and Uncle. For Aunt Selwa I brought the blousiest bunch of Green/Pink Hydrangea and Peonies (...
I got up this morning and realised I didn’t leave the house yesterday… It was of those nice days, punctuated by pancake flipping for breakfast and barefoot baking, a Victoria Sandwich aff...
I missed Chelsea. I think I’m probably glad, too bizzy, and it fell on the only hot days so far this year, and Lily’s wilt in the sunshine. Mother and I will be going to Hampton Court. A ...
Yesterday, I went to The Lightbox in Woking, which comprises two galleries, with exhibitions that change monthly, alongside an exhibition all about the history of Woking (good eco credentials, and si...
For approximately three seasons, I have been vocally disliking tribal fashion…every s/s I fingers-crossed-and-hope that it is Gone For Good, and for the last three s/s’s I have rolled my ...
Today we saw a very lovely 15th Century cottage in Eynsford (apparently pronounced ‘ayns-ford’, which is important, if I don’t want to be unilaterally and instantaneously hated by t...
Really loving this ‘sovereign’ necklace from Zara Simon: Worn with pale blue denim, and a tan, niceness.
This is nice (via @rossbreadmore on Twitski). John Lennon interviewed by a 14 year old… animated (by James Braithwaite) and gorgeous.
And on a gothica-tip… the house, home to the Amityville murders in 1974 is up for sale in Long Island, a snip at £800K I was discussing this with a colleague this morning, at what point does a ...
Is that what we’re doing now? Good grief! Here goes…Ka Pow
Maybe as a result of being a moody teenager; I’ve always enjoyed a bit of gothica, a bit of noir. I adored the BFI 53rd London Film Festival, short-film special last autumn, The Gothic and the...
I’ve been admiring Thomas Paul for a little while, I fell a bit in love with the cushion above, in Atelier Abigail Ahearn circa 2006 . Some of his stuff has really caught my eye over the years: Born ...
I was stunned by the new Annina Vogel collection at Liberty recently. She takes antique jewellery, up-cycles it, re-sets and re-launches it, setting brooches into necklaces, and pendants on to earrin...
Despite making a solemn oath and vow in 2009, that I would: ‘never again buy a pair of ballet pumps, now that brogues are freely available’… I had a little run-in with this lovely p...
I see something like this, and remember why I LOVE design, and it’s all worthwhile:
Career moves, out of industry, and out of comfort zone are pretty terrifying. I am quelling my terror with some kind words from the Keep Calm Gallery, this is the one that strikes me:
Some things I found on The Graphics Fairy, and liked: And now I want some French soap - these ones are quite deliciously rustic.
From Keep Calm Website Apparently it’s Farrrrshion… apple motifs are officially *in* . My favourite apple-season (that of blossom) is practically over – sad faces. So it’s nic...
This bank holiday weekend was punctuated by a 1930′s Garden Party. All marquees, flower arranging (tulips and lillies), doilies, and dangly dresses. I took far too few photos, here are some: Th...
SO, tomorrow is do-or-die day. The day that The Nation makes it’s big choice which of the Big Three to vote for. It’s a joy to me that this year, for the first time in my living memory, w...
I have a minor obsession with The White Company catalogue (the term ‘minor’ is subjective). Liberty floral prints notwithstanding, as a rule, I tend to prefer my stuff in shades of milk a...
