I had a slightly unusual Sunday, in that I spent a portion of it in a hot, very unpleasant smelling rubbish dump in the shadow of Battersea Power Station. What on earth was I doing there you ask? Well, we had let our garden turn into what can only be described as a bit of […]
Just what the doctor ordered
Even though it’s summer, I’m still finding myself relying on lip balms and moisturisers to keep my skin hydrated and feeling good. With the sun beginning to peek its sleepy head out properly after months of slumber, I think it’s more important than ever to look after our skin. SPF is a given in a […]
The Arch Gallery
I stopped for a much needed coffee near Bethnal Green tube yesterday and along with a cracking double shot americano, I came away having found a brilliant versatile venue called the Arch Gallery. It adapts to suit any event or exhibition and more importantly, it has the flexibility for you to make it your own. The […]
Don’t miss Lavish Habit
This cafe is one of Balham’s secret gems. I love stopping by for coffee, cake and a browse at the brilliant vintage bargains and quirky homewares.

It seems only right that my hair gets a refreshing cleanse too and the Australian brand, Aesop has a range of lovely products to suit my happy mood. I […]
Mars, Yorkie, nah think I’ll have a t-shirt
Dover Street Market I bow down to you. A beautiful shop as it is and then I find a vending machine of t-shirts. Brilliant.
A vintage find
I picked up this gorgeous sewing box in a market in Bermondsey. Designer hats sat alongside old telephones, china tea sets and books. The energy of the sellers and stall layout took me back to street markets in Laos and Thailand, where most of the fun was the thrill of bartering and knowing that you’re […]
I heart the Design Musuem
Wow, what a great place to lose a few hours. This space is somewhere I can see myself coming back to again and again and I know that I’m going to leave having learned something new or looked at something in a different way. It also has a brilliant selection of fashion books and quirky […]
