Beauty Advent Calendars for 2015

Beauty Advent Calendars for 2015

Beauty Advent Calendars for 2015 Beauty advent calendars have grown massively in popularity over the last couple of years. Gone are the days of chocolate santa’s behind those doors, now we are far more interested in lipsticks and creams every day of December. This year’s selection is seriously impressive, with brands such as Charlotte Tilbury,...
A/W 2015 homeware from ASDA

A/W 2015 homeware from ASDA

The A/W 2015 homeware from ASDA has seriously impressed me. More and more ‘high street’ stores are upping their game in the homeware range, jumping on to trends that wouldn’t be amiss on the most popular of Pinterest boards. I’m still a huge fan of copper (sue me), so mostly everything below features it in...
The perfect backpack on a budget

The perfect backpack on a budget

Finding the perfect backpack on a budget is not the easiest job. I spent a good amount of last Summer looking for a stylish yet practical backpack that didn’t cost an arm and a leg. I had high hopes of splurging on the Whistles Verity, but at £240, it was a little out of my...
7 Amazing Hanging Baskets from Etsy

7 Amazing Hanging Baskets from Etsy

I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with hanging baskets. Even though I am notoriously known for killing plants quicker than you can say Baby Bio, I have started filling my flat with them. So many in fact that I am running out of space to put them. Until I started hanging them from the...
Raw vegan afternoon tea at La Suite West

Raw vegan afternoon tea at La Suite West

RAW afternoon tea that’s 100% vegan? Minuscule finger sandwiches, fluffy scones, moist sugary sponges teamed with velvety cream and jam. Impossible? Or so I thought! Since turning vegan 7 months ago, I had thought a traditional afternoon tea was a luxury I had parted ways with. Until my best girlfriend surprised me with a birthday...
A windy trip to Broadway Market

A windy trip to Broadway Market

This past Saturday my pal and I took a little trip to Broadway Market. And this was special because, if you can believe it, I had never been before! I know, I know, a Londoner not having been to a trendy market. Shocking. But anyway, here are a few snapshots from the day. And if...
Feature wallpaper on a budget

Feature wallpaper on a budget

It’s really fun to decorate where you live. But it can get pretty expensive. Especially when you’re looking at big money for just a couple of rolls of feature wallpaper for your living room. So once the offer on my flat had been accepted I created a short list of great wallpaper prints from high-street...
Stay Home Club

Stay Home Club

I have always been a fan of a slogan tee. Add in a soft grey marl jumper and I am literally all yours. I came across Stay Home Club a little while ago (I think on Mademoiselle Robot) and now I am having a real hard time choosing what to purchase first! Here is the...
French pharmacy skin care wishlist

French pharmacy skin care wishlist

I’m off to France tomorrow! Heading to Lille for 5 days of relaxation, red wine and cheese. And maybe, a little trip to a pharmacy or 2 to pick up some French products I’ve had my eye on recently. It’s true that French brands are so much more expensive in England so I am going...
Sofa, so good

Sofa, so good

In what could be described as the mother of all #firstworldproblems, I am finding it really hard to pick a sofa for my new place. I have been lusting after the above since I first started looking for sofa living room ideas. It’s the Halston 3 seater corner sofa from Made.com. I love the colour and I...
Pasta making with Quorn

Pasta making with Quorn

A little while ago now, my delightful blog partner and I headed to Old Street for an evening of Italian cooking at The Underground Cookery School, thanks to the lovely folks at Quorn. We were promised an evening of education, good food and a few drinks; they definitely didn’t dissapoint. I’d never actually made pasta...
The thing about Wilkinson's homeware...

The thing about Wilkinson’s homeware…

…is that it is actually really good. I wandered into one of their stores last week to kill some time and stumbled across their home section. I’ve started to become even more obsessed with home interiors now that I am looking to buy a flat, so naturally I took a good look around. That is...
