I remember my first nail polish distinctly: It was a chalky pastel sky blue polish, $2 from the pharmacy – probably completely horrid to everyone else, yet I still insisted on wearing it everywhere at the tender age of 11. They say if one can remember a trend the first time around, then they should never wear it in it’s… View Post
Fuschia Mania
Backstage at Marc by Marc Jacobs, image from Style.com It is officially summer (even if the weather does insist on the monsoonal rainstorm which is currently mocking me outside as I write this). Endlessly long, balmy days bring with it the desire to eat nothing but salads and juicy fruit and dress in lively bright colours. Normally a colour-phobe (my… View Post
5 inches closer to heaven
I think of myself as someone who carefully contemplates my purchases. I see something, it starts to grow on me, and I think about how it will fit into my wardrobe/home/life until I’m positive it needs to be there.* The upside of this is that I now favour quality over quantity, and have a carefully considered wardrobe where everything works… View Post

Flat on my back
Did you all have a lovely long weekend (well, to those of you in the UK and US)? Despite a promising start, I managed to ruin my four day weekend (Happy Birthday, your Majesty!) by somehow slipping a disk in my back at the start of said weekend.* As such, i’ve since been forced to remain as still as possible… View Post
The holy grail of cake
I’m sure we all have a go-to recipe: the one we turn to when we don’t know what else to make, and yet which somehow seems perfect in every situation. Whether I want to console a friend, cheer my colleagues on a Monday morning, pack something perfect for a picnic or take a small offering when visiting someone’s house, apologise… View Post
Soul-restoration
Things have been a bit hectic and stressed the past couple of weeks, so this weekend I made a point of doing nothing but being divinely lazy. Yesterday, I caught up with a good friend for cafe-hopping along Westbourne Grove and Ledbury Road (Ottolenghi makes me a little bit excited), a rummage along Portobello Market, and then a trip up… View Post
Net-a-Porter’s denim heaven
I’ve already waxed lyrical about my love for Net-a-Porter (and their cheaper sister site, the Outnet), but i’m afraid this post might elevate me to website-stalker status (for which I apologise in advance). I was invited to attend the launch of Net-a-Porter’s Denim Boutique last night. And while I love a good fashion soiree, I’d fully expected – given the hosts… View Post
The fantasy ball
The Chic Tribe: Sienna Miller (Pucci); Rachel Zoe (Marc Jacobs); Margherita Missoni (Missoni) I often say that I have two fashion styles: my real life, and my fantasy life. My real life involves what I hope is a chic, yet practical mix of blazers, skinny jeans, Marc Jacobs heels or flats for walking around town, and a heavy dose of… View Post
Want of the week: My Chanel 2.55
I had my Chanel bag (and everything in it) stolen while enjoying a night out with some work friends this week, and now i’m completely distraught. Having just been to the hilarious Fashion and Politics night at the Parliamentary Waffle House (see earlier post), we moved onto a nice wine bar off Carnaby St. I’d tucked my bag safely under… View Post
