Regular readers may recognise this Lulu Guinness clutch from a former post on here when talking about my ridiculous urges for lip-shaped accessories. Well, at a loss as to what to get me for Christmas, I told the Clever Boyfriend he could get me “a bag” I wanted. He agreed, I placed the order, and he paid the bill.* To… View Post
I’m moving to a new place soon which, despite boasting a number of improvements on my current place, is both 1) tiny, and 2) rented. This means I’m having to get super inventive with efficient yet beautiful storage ideas, while also hunt down pieces which are unique and beautiful enough to make the space feel like mine. Vintage treasures collected… View Post
As I was cycling home through the lamplit cobbled streets of Cambridge tonight, two things occurred to me: 1) how grateful I am to live in such an amazing place (though this isn’t anything particularly revelationary; I have the same thought pretty much every time I walk past Kings College or along the Backs) and; 2) just how preppy my… View Post
To mark Australia Day today (a special wave to all my Australian readers!!), I thought I’d share a few more pictures from my recent trip back to Australia. Whenever I’ve travelled any distance in Australia, I’ve been constantly reminded of the awe-inspiring diversity of the spectacular landscape there; from tropical azure reefs to beautiful rainforests, from arid red deserts to… View Post

So late one frosty winter’s… View Post
Vintage brooches to adorn a summer blazer lapel: Australian native flowers, rhinestones and bejewelled glasses that remind me of Dame Edna Everage Despite my best attempts to travel light, I somehow managed to return from Australia with 15kg more than I had arrived with (this was also despite offloading several kilos of English souvenirs to family along the way, and… View Post
I was going to do the obligatory post about New Year’s resolutions (I’ve been thinking about my goals for the year all weekend), but instead I thought I’d be different and share some pictures from my recent soujourn to Australia. It dawned on me as I was boarding the plane the other day that it’s been precisely two years since… View Post
Hello lovelies, and welcome to 2011! How did you all spend your New Year’s Eve/Day? As my flight from Australia was delayed by two days, I didn’t arrive back in the UK until yesterday morning. An inability to sleep on planes combined with a 32 hour journey rendered me utterly jetlagged and so, no matter how hard we tried to… View Post
L-R: Dune gold sandals, Mac ‘Dolly Mix’ blush, Make Believe rose necklace, Chloe sunglasses Hello lovelies! Apologies for my radio silence this week. As those who follow me on Twitter may be aware, I’ve flown to Australia where I’m spending a blissful two weeks soaking up as much sun as I possibly can. It’s the first time I’ve returned to Australia… View Post
