If you watched my latest vlog then you'll know that I've been on the hunt for a new chunky, almost-counts-as-outerwear cardigan. There's a special name for this type of heavy-duty cardi, the sort of cardi you can throw on over your entire outfit in lieu of a coat, and...
Weekly Window Shop: Fine Art for Non-Billionaires
Here's the conundrum; you want to adorn your walls with interesting, unique art that makes your heart sing. Fine art or photography that stops you in your tracks, starts a conversation, changes the whole look and feel of a room, commands a space, finishes a space,...
Weekly Window Shop: The Prettiest Bedding
Finding properly pretty bed linen is not the easiest of tasks, especially for children's rooms. Because a lot of the time "pretty" means cartoon fairies and a very sickly sort of princess pink, when what you actually want is Liberty print and the sorts of teeny tiny...
Weekly Window Shop: Statement Towels
I've been looking for something to jazz up my very plain bathroom, but something soft, steam-tolerant and relatively portable. A flash of colour, a punchy pattern, a sort of moveable visual feast, if you will. And what's more soft, steam-tolerant and movable than a...
Weekly Window Shop: The Best Pink Beds
[AD info: this post contains one affiliate link marked *] I know that it's entirely possible that pink velvet is going to be one of those fleeting trends that disappears into the interiors ether as quickly as it arrived, but please humour me. Because I've always...
Shoes That Would Probably Kill Me
I often lust after very high-heeled shoes when I'm browsing the internet - the temptation to make my legs look impossibly long, to be teetering over the rest of the world, to get that near-vertical arch to my foot that is so inexplicably sexy often threatens my good...
A Vinterior Obsession
I seem to have developed quite a serious, potentially ruinous, shopping addiction. I can't stop buying things from the vintage/antique website Vinterior. To date, I've bought four lights, three mirrors, a chest of drawers, an old French shop display, an armoire the...
Bees, More Bees and Trying Not To Sneeze
Where have I been? You might well ask. Just the small matter of a lopped-off wisdom tooth and a sewn-over gum. Who would have thought that such a small area of the body could cause such widespread havoc? I swear I can feel the throbbing in my toes during the hour that...
Weekly Window Shop: Floral Noir Interiors
(links marked * are affiliate links, for more info see disclaimer below post) It's been a while since the last Weekly Window Shop, hasn't it? And I have no idea why, because I've been spending just as much time as usual looking at stuff online, creating fantasy...
Weekly Window Shop: Statement Lights
This post was going to be called Alternative Chandeliers, but it sounded so unbelievably wanky that I had to change it. I'm not sure that "statement lights" is that much better, but hopefully you'll know what I'm getting at with this episode of the Weekly Window Shop;...
Weekly Window Shop: Guccification
I have been spending a dangerous amount of time staring at various accessories on the Gucci website. Scarves, headbands, belts, costume jewellery, shoes. I wouldn't normally tease myself in this way, but Gucci seem to have silently crept in and infiltrated every...
Weekly Window Shop: Some Brilliant Best Buys
I did have a Sunday Tittle Tattle scheduled for tomorrow, but it was so ridiculously depressing to read that I had to postpone it. Especially when I realised that it was in fact Easter Sunday, which should be a day of joyfulness and celebration. Who was I to post...
