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 Estée 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 😉 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
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 😉

Oh Miss B, this is a sight for sore eyes on a dreary Monday morning! Thank you for always brightening my week with your positivity and your cheery outlook (all the pink and sparkle doesn’t hurt either) x
You are welcome!

My favorite treasures are my wedding dress (Reem Acra dress) and my vintage clutch. They are so special to me and remind me of the best day of my life.
