Gift Guide: Handmade Laptop/iPad Cases
A few months ago I bought my very own laptop. It was a long time coming and much needed so I could concentrate on blogging and freelance writing in my spare time without worrying about the one I shared – it was secondhand and partial to crashing quite a lot. To protect my new Chromebook from any bumps in the road I thought it best to find a perfect laptop case (see previous post), and along the way I bookmarked…

Her accessories, bags and kitchen textiles make up the delightful lifestyle brand that is Betty & Walter, a place full of fabulous floral designs and contemporary awesomeness inspired by mid 20th century design.

You know those days when you receive the best post? I know, it is rare. But when it happens, it can change your outlook for the whole day. Firstly I received a bumper pack of magazines as a gift, then my own subscriptions arrived and finally, the lovely people from The Contemporary Home, partners of notonthehighstreet.com, were kind enough to send me some products to review and “ooh” and “ah” over. Which is exactly what I did when they arrived.…

Sponsor Spotlight: Particle Press and the Thousand Paper Cranes
I’d like to introduce the new swallow collection from Particle Press and the Thousand Paper Cranes, one of my lovely blog sponsors. The fresh and bold collection is inspired by swallows marking the arrival of Spring, as they arrive back in Britain from their Winter jollies in Africa. Gorgeous, huh? Do you think purchasing a piece or two might encourage Spring to show its face a little quicker? It’s worth a try, me thinks. Say hello to Particle Press and…

Cor Blimey do I love this weekend bag from Baggu. Simple, classic, chic and yes, ideal for a weekend away on the coast.

Indeed it would. ♥
