Regular readers may remember this post I did for my 29th birthday on the 30 things I want to do before I turn 30. One of the points was to spend a weekend a month properly exploring London (I’v...
I love the act of treasure hunting; of collecting new finds – large and small – which make us smile. The arrival (at last) of warmer days and springy loveliness has me instinctively movin...
Writing this blog has resulted in some frankly amazing *pinch me!* moments over the past couple of years that have made me want to squeel with delight (winning two major blog awards last year, meetin...
Starting this month, I’ve decided to introduce a new monthly feature of the little things that I’m adoring, buying, doing and dreaming about each month. I’d love to know what you th...
Whichever way I look at it, this has been a hectic few weeks (sincere apologies for the slowdown on this blog as a result). Even though I had zero wiggle room in my (already exploding) schedule, I de...
Oriental adventures in Japan. Sakura-flavoured sweets. Being dressed up like a doll in traditional kimonos. Visiting traditional ryokans in the countryside. Mt Fuji and babbling streams. An explosion...
I don’t know what it’s like in your corner of the world, but here in England the sun does not want to put his hat on. Instead, the weather is choosing to be grey and drizzly each day and ...
Another peek at a few of the the wonderful (and quirky) things I love about Japan from my recent trip to Tokyo: the sea of neon lights in Shinjuku and Shibuya (that never dim) juxtaposed with the tra...
I don’t know why, but much like brooches and expensive shoes and scented candles, I collect nail polish like an crazy woman. So given I own enough pastel polishes to wear a different colour eac...
I’ve just returned from a whirlwind week in Tokyo and still have the sounds of giddy schoolgirls calling ‘kawaii!!’ at every turn and the glorious sight of the first sakura blossoms...
The arrival of Spring in England. Crisp mornings in Westminster. Miu Miu’s plexiglass and crystal bow earrings. Fun at Fifi Lapin’s London party. Chanel’s petal pink ‘May̵...
Hello my lovelies! As those of you who follow me on Twitter or Instagram will have gathered, yesterday I flew to Tokyo. I have a huge amount of love for Japan; I first travelled here as a small child...
I don’t know about you, but I am oh so ready for Spring! I have officially boycotted my wintery coat, gloves, and wooly accoutrements, and have sugary pastels and bicycle rides in the sun on th...
6. Enjoy some Parisian serenity. Stop by a patisserie, fromagerie and boulangerie, collect a few supplies for a picnic and spend a divine hour sitting in the Jardin des Tuileries, the Jardin du Luxem...
I’m often asked the question: ‘how to I go about building a collection of fragrances?’ In short, there is no simple answer because fragrance is so deeply personal (and what is right...
As an unfaltering Francophile/Parisian wannabe, I am often asked for my recommendations on my favourite things to do in Paris. I’ll leave it to your guidebooks to tell you all the obvious place...
I don’t know about you, but there are few things that make me smile in this digital age quite like receiving a really good package in the mail. Recently, instead of the usual acknowledgement em...
Peaceful weekends spent wandering around Cambridge. Fairy floss sunsets at the end of grey days. Rainy Saturday afternoon trips to the V&A museum for regal history and romantic artists. Sitting i...
Hello my lovelies! I’m so excited to welcome you all to my shiny new blog home. In honour of my blog’s two year anniversary, and the fact I now have more readers than I ever could have im...
The excitement of a flurry of invites dropping through my letterbox. Packing a mountain of shoes, accessories and sparkly things. Off to the beautiful Savoy for the first show. A finale or forest gre...
I’m often asked where my favourite salon in London is and, to be perfectly honest, I haven’t wanted to publicly disclose my secret for fear that everyone would go and then I would never b...
Hello lovelies! I’m currently in the throes of London Fashion Week (one of my favourite times of the year), so forgive me if I seem a little aloof for the next few days. I promise it’s no...
Fact: I’m a shoe girl. From the moment I slipped on my first pair of ballet shoes (and felt like a sugar plum fairy) to the first pair of Marc Jacobs shoes I saved and saved and saved for, I...
It’s that time of year again: Fashion Week is rolling into all the fashion capitals and I am so excited to say I’ll again be taking a few days leave from the day job to go to London Fashi...
As today is my birthday (yay for cake and candles and birthday love!), this marks the first day of the last year of my twenties. I firmly live by the motto that life is mostly what we make it. For me...
We’ve been having the most unseasonably mild winter here in England, so much so that I thought Spring pastels (expect this blog to go even more crazy about gelato pastels than normal come March...
Given my annual January tradition to organise areas of my life that have become rather cluttered during the previous year, countless hours the past few weekends have been spent ankle deep in piles of...
Starting the New Year on an optimistic vibe. Lovely sparkly things arriving in the post (the last spoils from my December shopping binge) before putting myself on a January Shopping Ban. Continuing m...
In honour of it being Australia Day, I thought I’d celebrate the things I love (and miss) the most about that gorgeous corner of the world I call my homeland (for it is all these things, and a ...
Regular readers will know that I rarely blog about individual stores I visit on my travels, so when I do it means it’s a very special place indeed. When I was in Paris a couple of months ago, I...
