I’m not ready to say farewell to summer just yet, so I’ve been filling my days with sunshine, bike rides and an abundance of colour and sparkle; whether in the form of a pop of bright pink lipstick against tanned skin, boxes of juicy Cambridge strawberries or cherries from the market for picnics by the river, a spritz of a favourite summery scent, or big bunches of flowers from the garden or flower stall.
Here are a few of my favourite summertime treasures of late: floral-scented Diptyque candles and bunches of pink roses, peonies and hydrangeas in every room; favourite new blush pink Ferragamo flats (that have walked all over London, Cambridge and Oxford with me all summer long); vintage jewels treasure-hunted in tiny antique shops and on Portobello Road; a favourite new perfume from Jo Malone; sparkly Miu Miu heels (that magically seem to work with almost every outfit I own); a sweet Anya Hindmarch makeup purse; nail polishes in every shade of petal pink from Chanel and EstΓ©e Lauder; this wildly impractical yet entirely fabulous lips clutch from Lulu Guinness.
What are some of your current favourite pastimes and treasures?
Love, Miss B xx

Your article is so pink and bright that it’s making me melt in delight! It looks magical. As for summer pastimes, I love picnics with my friends and my pet, especially in beautiful parcs.

I do have rather a weakness for anything pink π And is there anything more wonderful than summertime picnics in the park?

I love this post, adore how you’ve used jars for vases, gorgeous pics! x
Miss B says
Thank you so much! I do own real vases, but always prefer using things that shouldn’t be vases (tea cups, jam jars, perfume bottles, etc.) instead π
