Here in Cambridge, the wheel of the seasons has turned and autumn has arrived in a flurry of umber leaves. Although I am at my happiness when the skies are blue and the air balmy, I treasure the fact that in England, we experience each season in turn (a novelty to a girl who grew up in Australia). As the… View Post
Putting on my favourite Mulberry and pearls for a fabulously decadent brunch at Bob Bob Ricard (‘Press for champagne!’) with girlfriends. Playing tourist in London never gets old. Putting on my new pink Prada heels to make household chores a little bit wonderful. Frequent trips to Chinatown for custard buns and watermelon bubble tea. A surprise delivery from Lulu Guinness… View Post
Autumn really has arrived here in Cambridge. Suddenly the nights are longer, the days crisp, and the leaves turning to gold upon the trees that line the River Cam. But I’m not quite ready to say goodbye to the memory of summer just yet, so here is a little dose of sunshine from a couple of weeks back when the… View Post
1. On my wish list: This jaw-dropping Dolce & Gabbana bejewelled necklace (that I’m fairly sure would go with everything in my wardrobe). A girl can dream… 2. Small luxury: Making my outgoing mail a little prettier in the form of Rifle Paper Co‘s darling cards and thank you notes (I re-stock my supplies every time I pass by Liberty in… View Post
If there’s one after-work and weekend ritual I treasure, it’s fabulous dates with my girlfriends. I’m forever bemoaning the British lack of enthusiasm for weekend brunch (is it only Australians and Americans who embrace this weekend act?), so last weekend Dearne (my fellow Antipodean-in-England friend) and I gathered up our fellow blog friends, Anna and Sarah, and took our collective… View Post

Beautiful Chanel Gardenia perfume for when I need to feel sophisticated (but still ‘me’). My beloved blush Mulberry Lily bag accompanying me on so many summertime adventures. The most wonderful… View Post
Whether you should find yourself single, in a relationship or just taking a look at the menu, there should always be room for the kind of dates that give you butterflies in your stomach and make you want to put on the most wonderful dress in your wardrobe. Even though I’ve been with the Clever Boyfriend for over seven years… View Post
1. Play: Strolling along the canal in Little Venice, exploring Marylebone, rummaging in vintage shops in East London and happily getting to know new parts of London. 2. Sparking: I’ve barely taken this sweet little rose gold ‘love’ necklace (from Grand Bazaar London) off all month. 3. Wearing: This white cotton and lace By Malene Birger dress that seems appropriate for summer… View Post
I’m not quite sure how it is already that time again, but Fashion Month is just around the corner. And looking through the schedule for London Fashion Week, I’m positively tingling with the excitment at seeing what my favourite British designers will be showing this season. Because I can’t exist solely in a fashion bubble (I do have the rather serious… View Post
