I love a good breakdown – especially of the ROY(al)GBIV variety. As you can see, this Vogue chart shows off The Queen’s penchant for bold block colours. It’s all very inspiri...
Heat waves, picnics, backyard barbecues, wine tasting, bike riding, the most perfect mint table, overdosing on galleries. May has been quite lovely, filled with friends and sunshine.
The Jubilee would be that much tastier if I had a Garden Cake on hand to celebrate with. Made by Mimi Thorisson, it’s two slabs of meringue sandwiched together by cream, and decorated with wild...
This looks good, in a big, flashy Bazza way. While waiting for Christmas to come (why tease us now?) I must remember to watch the 1974 version (starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow).
Two photos from the Leonardo da Vinci: Anatomist exhibition at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace. It was very dark in there, and no flash allowed, hence the graininess. However it was pret...
“Everything she said was like a secret voice speaking straight out of my own bones.” A little tidbit I just learned: Sylvia Plath first published the The Bell Jar under the nom de plume V...
This striking Stylist cover is made entirely of pretty foliage. The stats are just as impressive; it took 200 yellow carnations to make the centre of the flower, and 2100 roses! Published just in tim...
Saturday morning breakfasts, made all the sweeter by the luxury of a newspaper delivery. No more fretting about whether to make a dash to the dairy in my jim jams. Egg printing, explained! The simple...
There’s been quite a few adorable themed alphabets released lately! The other day Tessa sent me a link to this handsome pug-fest, illustrated by Bah Humpug. As a long time pug lover, it certain...
Mini life update: I dyed my hair red.It’s been a while. And now I feel like a 16-year-old with exotic plumage walking down the street “They’re alllllll looking at how crazy my hair ...
It’s funny how you can start collecting images without realising. I looked at my desktop and was surprised to see it filled with mint and pink. A refreshing combination.
(Good advice, nice jumper.)
A twist on ‘the glass is half full’, this moon glass takes my breath away. Made by Korean studio Tale, the Moon Glass has been designed to serve up milky rice wine or sake. As you sip, th...
I adore this tasty looking alphabet by Vidhya Nagarajan, especially her unusual and clever culinary choices. N for naan? Perfect! (By the way, I think Thom and I found the perfect East London curry l...
You need to see London at night, particularly the theaters. But not just the night life. London itself looks best in the dark. It’s a pretty safe city, and you can walk in most places after sunset. I...
Breakfast by Le Le is one of the funniest songs ever, yet somehow pulls off a divine video, animated by Parra.
You’ll find the owl perched on top of the Rotulos Roura Company building. It’s an old luminous advert for a company designing and installing neon lighting. Its eyes even used to cast out ...
This Easter I took my first trip to Spain. Just three days was enough to dent my heart. Waking up on a train, and brushing my teeth as well rolled past the ocean; my first sight of the sea since Augu...
1. Good morning, beautiful buildings 2. Fresh fraise 3. A wonderful optometrist’s sign 4. I always love the bold graphic deign of Metro posters 5. A bit of grit down by the Seine 6. Lock-huntin...
La Sagrada Família, Barcelona. See you soon.
The national treasure in question is my mum! When she said she was sending me some Easter treats I didn’t expect to get a big bag of creme eggs, mini eggs and not one, but two bags of Pineapple...
I love this series, shot by Rebekkah Farrell and styled by Imogene Pyne for Rouse Magazine. There’s just something about the dated motel aesthetic that appeals to me – especially the scal...
A few good things: The sunshine! It has been fantastically sunny in London the last few days, making it an utter joy. Thom bought me a desk for £10 at a charity shop in Dalston, then carried it home....
Both Sides of the Rainbow, 2011, acrylic on canvas, 214 x 183 cm by Dane Lovett
Nice yeti. Remember this guy? He’s painted on a bookstore wall just down the road from my flat. Now he’s dressed for spring: I’m falling in love with Hoxton.
Coffee does indeed fix most things (or just a chat with Mon, who took the photo). But in times of doubt it’s important ;to remember that “Comparing yourself to others makes you v...
Just popped in to share this photo, taken outside my flat.
A week ago I escaped the city for a dose of the country and fresh air with friends. They don’t tell you this in the manual when you move to London, but riding the tube and living in the smoggy ...
This weekend’s baking adventure: chocolate and almond biscotti. It’s one of my favourite nibbles, but always seems too expensive to justify buying in cafes… so I decided to give it a go. ...
