Happy Friday! This week whizzed by in the blink of an eye but was mostly full of good things. I met Mr Jimmy Choo (the man himself!), caught up with some friends, had an IPL facial at Skin Laundry in Liberty, and got in some serious self-care time in the evenings. Tomorrow I have a playdate with my godson in… View Post
Don’t you just adore these last, heady days of summer? The grass is still dry and the gardens still lush with the last blooms of the season, but the leaves are starting to turn golden, the mornings feel crisp, and the days are starting to shorten. I’m at once excited for the arrival of autumn and all it ushers in,… View Post
It’s time for another monthly favourites roundup – sharing the very best beauty products I’m using and loving each month. 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 over the perfect fragrance, high-tech skincare solutions, and finding the very best versions out there. I’m… View Post
I’m a girl who loves the timeless classics. Movies, books, and most definitely my wardrobe. That might not make me ‘cool’, but personally I’d rather spend my money on the sort of pieces I know I’ll wear and love for years to come (and that won’t make me cringe when I look back on photos of myself in a decade… View Post
Last weekend we went ‘glamping’ on the north Norfolk coast with friends and it was exactly what we all needed. We hired a big car and drove up straight after work on Friday through a patchwork of green and golden fields and forests until we hit the beach. We had no wifi and hardly any signal, so vowed to all… View Post
Happy Friday! This week seemed to fly by in a busy blur (seriously, how are we halfway through August?), but I managed to squeeze in a few fun things – lunch with some lovely friends, a divine Chantecaille facial at Fenwick after work, and ice cream at the Parlour at Fortnum & Mason (where I always feel like a child,… View Post
While I was in Paris, I had a free morning while my friend Anne was at work. I always visit at least one museum each time I’m in Paris, and hadn’t been to the Louvre in years, so that seemed like the obvious choice. If you’ve ever been yourself, you’ll know that the Louvre is so vast that is is… View Post
This long, hot summer has brought with it manifold joys: long evenings warm enough for bike rides after work, picnics every weekend, and eating cherries and watermelon every day – to name just a few. But the hot days at the start of the season took me (and my beauty routine) by such surprise that too much time spent in… View Post
As you may have seen, I took a quick trip to Paris last month. I was only there three days but it was, as always, utterly lovely. On this particular day I had an afternoon free to myself with no plans at all, so as the weather was so gorgeous I decided to head to one of my favourite spots… View Post
