Regular readers will by now be familiar with my love for Chanel. Without a hesitation of doubt, it is my favourite fashion house; the one whose shop windows make my heart go a-flutter, the one whose couture shows I lie awake at night dreaming of attending, the one whose gorgeous accessories I will happily forgo all other purchases in favour… View Post
Last weekend, I went to spend the weekend with one of my favourite blog friends, the divine Amanda (aka The Online Stylist), in Dorset. On Saturday, there were picnics, walks around castles, cocktails at the harbour and generally much giddy excitement. But on Sunday, when the sun was polite enough to be shining as hard as it could, we did… View Post
As anyone who follows me on Twitter will know, I simply adore living in Cambridge. I’m not sure whether it’s the relaxed/preppy lifestyle here, the incredible history and architecture (900 year-old colleges which have housed, at some point or another, many of the world’s most important figures), or just the fact it’s the first place the Clever Boyfriend and I… View Post
In honour of American Independence Day (hello to all my readers across the pond! I hope your 4th of July is filled with sparklers, sunshine, good company and merriment), I thought I’d share some photos from my trip to Washington last August. My love for this place knows no bounds; I spent a ridiculously happy few months there working on… View Post

It’s been a long time since I shared a recipe, which isn’t really representative of how much I love cooking. When I’m craving something delicious, homemade wins every single time – it’s always a hundred times more delicious, and the process of creating something (and filling the house with a delicious fragrance) is immensely relaxing and satisfying. As soon as… View Post
When short on wardrobe space, turn your favourite accessories into art by putting them on display rather than stuffing them into a closet (just be sure to keep them free of dust and out of direct sunlight). Chanel 2.55 bag and Mulberry bow booties. As I mentioned on the last peek inside my home, my place might be cute, but… View Post
Pots of herbs on my windowsills become my ‘garden’, while favourite coffee-table books and accessories (in this case, a Lulu Guinness lips clutch) sit on show. So many of you have asked for more personal style posts, so as well as more shots of what I wear, I thought I would give you a peek inside my home. While I… View Post
