Apr 22, 2014 • Comments Closed I’ve been wanting a drinks trolley for the longest time (even longer when you consider how long this post has been sitting in my drafts). Somewhere to hold the good stuff for guests and parties, as well as all the cute glasses and drinking paraphernalia I have collected over the years. Source Source Source Source...

Feb 14, 2014 • Comments Closed I love metal. And not the heavy, musical kind, but the glossy, industrial, luxe, shiny (I could go on) kind. If I could, I think I’d live in a metal house – although I think it’d be very hot in the summer and I’d probably get bored of it before the first sign of rust....

Feb 6, 2014 • Comments Closed When you think of tiling you probably think of the generic white squares around your bath. Or perhaps, and even worse, the old-fashioned floral monstrosities in your Grandma’s kitchen (although I wonder if these are so retro they’ve become cool again?). Either way, there’s so much more to tiling than protecting your walls from water....

Feb 2, 2014 • Comments Closed I very rarely read Stylist (I don’t think I am their target market really). But this week, on a very cramped and sweaty tube I picked up a copy to pass the time as I headed home. Their travel section doesn’t usually interest me, I don’t have the expendable income of most of their readers, but...

Jan 27, 2014 • Even though I spend a lot of time in Southampton, I’ve never actually written about it. Until now. A little before Christmas, my significant other and I headed to a new burger joint he’d recently heard about, 7 Bone. Now, we’ve been to a few burger joints in London (Meat Liquor and Honest Burger, if...

Jan 2, 2014 • Comments Closed …is that they are full of false hope. I think that if you need to wait until a New Year to make a change in your life or if you think you’re suddenly going to become a different person as the calendar turns to Jan 1st then your resolutions probably aren’t going to last very...

Nov 22, 2013 • Comments Closed Winter is coming! Correction, Winter is here and London is feeling pretty nippy right now! I don’t know about the rest you but when the cold sets in I batten down the hatches and never want to leave. But… inevitably one of your mates thinks it’s a great idea to have a night out in...

Nov 21, 2013 • Comments Closed Today a funny feeling overcame me almost the very moment after I donned my winter knitwear for the first time this year (yes, it’s November, but I was cold and all my other jumpers were in the wash or somewhere on my bedroom floor under a mountainous pile of clothes). I started getting VERY EXCITED...

Oct 25, 2013 • Comments Closed It is! To make the most simple, delicious, creamy, restaurant-quality, perfect-for-autumn soup, all you need is: One pear, one fennel bulb, one onion, one garlic clove, 600 ml of vegetable stock. And some olive oil (not pictured) I can’t express enough how EASY and BEAUTIFUL this soup is. The full recipe is below, but basically...

Oct 24, 2013 • Comments Closed Some people prefer running to the metronome of their own footsteps and breathing. Others, like me, need headphones in their ears and a killer Spotify playlist to spur them on. Sure, there’s the whole debate from running purists that they wouldn’t be caught dead listening to music, and that only ‘joggers’ listen to tunes. But...

Oct 22, 2013 • Comments Closed Do you ever get completely fixated on something that you have no real need for? A pair of shoes you won’t ever wear or a £40 candle that’s too nice to burn (the latter I have had a lot of experience with). This week I am currently obsessed with a lamp in the shape of...

Aug 22, 2013 • Comments Closed Sometimes, when you’ve had a bad day, quinoa just won’t cut it. Sometimes, what you really need is a bit of comfort food to soothe your soul. But just because you want something a bit naughty doesn’t mean you have to head to the nearest fast food outlet to fix your craving. There are many...
