Without fail, each year the onset of Spring causes me to go into a flurry over all things pastel and floral. This does not merely rest with my wardrobe, but also extends to my skincare (Jurlique’s rose-infused offerings), fragrance (white florals by Marc Jacobs or Stella McCartney’s summer releases), and my home (vases of flowers and jasmine candles from Liberty).
But more than that, I have a strange penchant for edible florals as well. Roses, violets, orange blossoms and lavender – they all make me a little bit excited when I find them in desserts. There’s something so Marie Antoinette decadent and girlie about such flavours.
Some of my favourites (above): Laduree violet tea, Charbonnel et Walker rose and violet cream chocolates, and rose petal and orange blossom macarons. I also adore Rococo jasmine, rose or violet chocolate bars (at Liberty), rosehip and hibiscus tea, lavender ice cream, and orange blossom syrup or rose water sprinkled over pancakes, fruit or pannacotta.
Does anyone else eat flowers, or is it just me?
Love, Miss B xx

Hello!
I’ve received my trousers today and while they are so beautiful and my size, they are just not ‘me’, so I am contemplating selling them to someone who will provide a better home for them and would actually wear them. I’ll post some pictures on my blog tomorrow. They are in perfect condition (off course).
Let me know if you would be interested or if you know someone who would be. Take care! xxx
Dear Briony,
thank you for your comment!
Thank you for taking the effort to ask your friend about the necklace, it’s just soooo pretty! An eyecatcher!
And thank you for informing your friend about the phi trousers and letting me know!
