1) I got a wedding invite couriered to me last week and nearly died of excitement when I opened it. How lovely! A Dior wedding! Then I realised that everyone was invited and that also I wouldn’t get to wear a hat. Good news for “everyone”, bad news for the hat, which will have to stay boxed and unworn until the next false alarm. (To be fair, hats aren’t a good look on me at the moment. I just look like a rotund bee-keeper.) The Dior wedding, if you’re intrigued, is on the 4th February and the teaser is online here. I have no clue what it’s all about, but the video is very stylish and makes me yearn for summer…

2) Goodness me, this is a beautiful scent. Parma Violets. Like Marmite, you’ll either love it or hate it, but if you do love Parma Violets then you must get your paws on some of this Rose & Co Patisserie de Bain body cream, even if you just intend to keep it in a drawer and sniff it at regular intervals, which is what I do. You can find it online here.

4) Naughty pets, part 2: Mr Bear knocked my lovely Rose Otto Face Oil from the bathroom shelf and it smashed all over the floor. I have no idea why he loves pawing things from shelves so much, I may have to start supergluing things down. Here he is looking completely nonplussed, above, and below we have Dexter looking a bit scrawny and scruffy, needing his fur to hurry up and grow.
