When Threesmallapples HQ was moved to N16 2 years ago, I was pretty excited! Not only is N16 a hotbed for cute cafes, nice pubs (‘nice’ makes them sound crap, but they’re not. They&...
Now, it’s no secret that I’m not a fan of a tan. I can’t think of anything worse than having a patchy colour, peeling bits, looking ashen with face powder… and don’t get...
After almost 2 years in Threesmallapples HQ, the unbelievable has finally happened! No, the cds haven’t been unpacked from their dusty boxes (or Music Magpie-d. Average price paid for my shocki...
*gasp* It might not be fancy, exciting looking or particularly colourful (in fact, it looks pretty much like a bog standard daisy) but this little beauty has survived the winter in the Threesmallappl...
Was it Coco Chanel who said “Less is more”? I wonder what she’d think about an above the knuckle ring from Wired Jewellery. Sterling silver wishbone £10 Perhaps she’d think it...
“So what did you think of the new Murakami?”
Despite Stylist‘s Nigella cover (yes Nigella, we know you like food. Stop thinking you’re the only one. And I hope that caramel was bugger to get out of your eyelashes) giving me rage, wh...
I don’t recommend trying to cook while watching Rachel Khoo’s The Little Paris Kitchen… not only are your ingredients bound to be wrong but you won’t have that cute blue casse...
Blind tasting wedding bubbles? What a civilised way to spend Easter weekend. Chin chin.
It’s not like I don’t already live within hopping distance to a ton of pubs, cafes, bars and restaurants… but I can’t complain when another bar opens up. Especially when the n...
As weird as it may be, I really love IKEA. I love the feeling of irrational optimism that you get in IKEA, that feeling that tells you that “this new flat (because you only go to IKEA when you&...
For someone with quite an impressive (and aesthetically pleasing) cook book collection, you’d think I’d be a bit better at cooking. Feelings of nausea induced by contact to raw meat don...
Brighter weather calls for brighter nails. And inspired by Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere, I thought I’d jazz up a mani in a subtle way. I’ve tried crackle polish, two-tone manicures an...
In case you didn’t know, gardening isn’t good for your nails. It’s not great for arachnophobics either. Nevertheless, with a week off work, a bit of a sun and an embarrassment of a...
As successful as my last baking attempt was, I was left with the usual cake-based problem: What to do with 12 portions of cake?! The obvious answer is to eat it, but with only 2 people at Three Small...
Homework, exams, PE (PE!! Whose idea was that?!), those are a few reasons that I’m glad I’m not still at school. But the 6 week summer holiday? I’d happily take that back. Even if I...
I lasted about 5 minutes watching Crufts before I got bored, and that was with only 50% of my attention capacity. But I’ve never been a dog person so I can’t be expected to understand th...
Some things are so much better when they’re kept to the realms of fantasy: Romantic ice skating dates – it’s not romantic, it’s scary. And no one enjoys the fake “that d...
Sorry to sound like a Gran, but I’m quite looking forward to replanting my window box! I’d wanted one for a while, especially when I lived in a teeny box sized flat in Camden, without a speck of outs...
I’ve always been a fan of the colour pink, so it’s not the biggest surprise that I like beetroot. It’s not a ‘bit pink’ like a radish or rhubarb, instead it’s SO p...
… a birthday gift from someone who knows me too well… Oh dear… If it wasn’t for the fringe, I’d think I was looking in a mirror!
A lazy (hungover!) Friday night is so much better when you’ve got some new Chanel to play with. Nails – Vendetta by Chanel I’ve been painting my nails for so long that I can still work w...
I live with a jam consuming fiend. If there’s jam at Three Small Apples HQ, it’s already between 2 slices of bread. So imagine my surprise when I found a lone jar of home-made blackberry ...
I think most people know I spend far too much time in Starbucks. And I’ve got a Gold Level reward card to prove it. But super sweet coffee (“Can I have a tall, skinny hazelnut latte please?” Yes, I ...
Perfect when you’re thirsty, perfect for dunking biscuits and perfect for cold hands, tea does it all. I’ve got so many teas at Three Small Apples HQ that not only do I have a shelf for t...
February, it’s dark, it’s depressing and it’s the month of my birth. Still, it’s not all bad… because I get presents: What a cutie.
(groan, sorry!!) Where’s the best place to take a cocktail-loving, kitten-obssessed girl for her birthday? The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town of course! Hidden beneath The Breakfast Club, a stone’s ...
Siberian weather eh? That’s nice. Actually, it’s not. I’ve been over-wearing the only really warm cardigan that I own, layering up with Uniqlo Heat tech, wearing Uggs in public (yes...
Sorry for the radio silence… I’ve been distracted: Normal service should resume soon.
Dear HMRC Thanks for my tax rebate. I’ll put it to good use: Topshop £65 Oasis £40 River Island £40 Tatty Devine £33 Dahlia £62 Love Three Small Apples xx
