Home & Style Finds
1| I love multipurpose makeup and I’ve heard very good things about the Beach Tint (£20) for your cheeks and lips. Apparently a little goes a long way which makes up for the expensive price tag. 2| Cheer up a plain t-shirt, blouse or jumper with this cheery number from Après Ski (€42). 3| I’ve quit taking sugar in my tea during the week which probably explains why I’m eating more jam on toast lately (craving the sweetness!). This Chiaverini Jam (£5.25) is definitely…

Home & Style Finds
1 | I love this colourful offering of River Fish Towels (from £6) from Cath Kidston. If you’re planning a summer holiday, the design would be perfect for the beach! 2 | Now spring has landed, I catch myself day-dreaming of long lazy picnics up in the hills and LOVE these Paper Cups (£1.95) from DotComGiftShop. Mmm, bring on fizz in the sunshine! 3 | I seem to be coveting match boxes a lot lately! I already have these but I love the geometric design…

Lately: Doughnuts, Little People and Wax Flowers
Wax flowers. Aren’t they beautiful? Usually native to Western Australia, I happened to come across them in our local florist. If you rub the stem it smells similar to rosemary but with a hint of citrus. Paper straws to make drinking water a bit more fun (and it goes down quicker) The little people in my life (his sister was cosy in her pram). Being an Aunt is rather splendid. Our joint anniversary gift to each other (6 years!) for…

Style: Wedding Outfits
I suffer from major guilt pangs. Namely when I eat two slices of cake, use my OH’s razor or when purchasing a new outfit for a wedding. I’m not comfortable spending pennies on a new dress I will only wear once or twice when I could be spending it on holidays and good food (or perhaps my own razor!). I’ll happily wear something I already own but for some reason everything in my wardrobe suddenly becomes thoroughly unsuitable when choosing the…

Style: Spring/Summer Basics
Since returning home from Australia, I’ve been wearing colourful clobber to cheer my mood and remind me of days filled with sunshine. Ah, sweet sunshine. I’d love to overhaul my wardrobe completely (who wouldn’t?) and fill it with cobalt blues, poppy reds and mustard yellows, alas our savings aren’t as healthy as they once were after 3 fun-filled weeks down under. So I thought I’d do the next best thing and compile a wish list of key Spring pieces that…

Style: Top 10 Dresses With Pockets
Occasionally I live vicariously through this blog, which isn’t a bad thing. Simply blogging about a pretty polka dot skater dress and a pair of Oxford brogues can keep me sailing through the broke/unglamorous month of January happily – hence this post. All of my free time is currently made up of dog walking and staying indoors so I’ve been living my January days in leggings, baggy jumpers and walking boots – unkempt, shall we say? Therefore I believe it’s perfectly…
