As my last instalment for Mulberry month, I thought I’d show you my new ‘Picnic’ dress (any excuse to get the cost-per-wear basis down really…). Ever since seeing it on those red-headed models on the runway, I knew it was actually made for me – Emma Hill might as well called it the “Briony goes punting and picnicking and frolicking… View Post
I truly believe that small pleasures make life infinitely more fun. I am constantly in pursuit of them, and discovering a new small treat (or returning to one of my favourites) never fails to bring a smile to my face. It might be something such as a new bright pink lipstick, a cup of tea somewhere decadent, buying a bunch… View Post
In celebration of their 40th birthday (can you believe the label, which feels like such an English icon, is so young?) Mulberry have released the most spectacular coffee table book. Largely shot by Venetia Dearden (who followed the Mulberry team around for the past two years), it is a beautiful, candid peek behind the scenes of the wonderful Mulberry world…. View Post
My mother used to always say to me “good things come in small packages”. And how right she was. For while few of us can afford an entire wardrobe filled with Chanel couture, luxury brand beauty is something we can all buy into (because what’s £17 for the cult nail polish of the season, compared to £3000 for the bag,… View Post
Continuing Mulberry May on here, I thought I’d show you another of my recent acquisitions: these deliciously girly blush pink bow booties. When they arrived on my doorstop right on my birthday (a gift from the brand themselves – probably in part for being the biggest Mulberry fan girl around), there were actual squeels of glee. I don’t think there… View Post
In honour of it being Mothers Day in Australia today, I thought I’d share some of the words of wisdom and life lessons passed to me by my own mother. Although she passed away 7 years ago now and I miss her terribly, she remains one of the single biggest influences on me, my style and my shopping habits. Along… View Post
Regular readers will know that much like my Chanel addiction, I sometimes have an unhealthy appetite for all things Mulberry. Whereas Chanel is a symbol of my constant daydreams of Paris and the Gallic je ne sais quois, Mulberry, the iconic British brand, neatly sums up my love of the English countryside in the summer, of London in the rain,… View Post
One glance in my wardrobe and it becomes apparent that I have a pretty solid ‘uniform’ of black (in the form of blazers and jackets galore, skinny jeans and slouchy tailored tapered pants), white (dresses and silk blouses in various incarnations), sharp tuxedo shirts, and the occasional flash of preppy blue, faded denim and blush pink (summer) or emerald green… View Post
When I was a child, I lived in a happy world of ballet classes, tea parties in the garden, and an insatiable appetite for fantastical fairytale stories. I was sure I would resist the lure of the Royal Wedding, but all of a sudden this week, I couldn’t help but be enormously excited by the decadence and romance of it… View Post
