It’s accidentally been a while since I did one of these, so I thought it was time for another monthly favourites roundup – sharing the very best beauty products I’m using and loving right now. I’m a lifelong beauty lover (I was sneaking into my mother’s dressing table and putting on her lipstick before I could even walk), and obsess… View Post
Forgotten how to dress for warmer weather? Me too. Sometime around April every year, when I can’t bear the thought of wearing a winter coat for another day, but it’s still too cold for my easy summer uniform of dresses and sandals, I have to remind myself how to dress for these in-between weeks. Because I’m an optimist and like… View Post
Happy Friday everyone! Do you celebrate Easter where you are? I’m not especially religious but this celebration has always held a special place in my heart. My husband has been away for a few weeks so I’m going to meet him at Heathrow airport tomorrow and then we’re going to my family’s place in London for a long weekend of… View Post
Dear spring, is that you? Here in England spring’s arrival is more of a hot and cold confusion than a grand entrance, but nonetheless; signs of a new season are appearing everywhere you look.

Happy weekend everyone! This week was nice and quiet, which was just what was needed. My friend Meghan (who you may remember from this post from our trip to Paris last year) was in town from New York for a few days so I stayed at her hotel and we squeezed in as many of our other favourite London things as possible,… View Post
Last week, my dear friend Meghan was in town from New York. She had just written this beautiful post on being single in your 30s, and we started talking about how no matter what age or stage of life you’re at, people seem to want to project onto us their own ideals of what we should be doing with our… View Post
It’s no secret I am passionate about all things beauty. And while I could wax lyrical about perfume and lipstick and skincare for hours, I probably spend just as much time thinking about the more mundane aspects of personal care.
