Octobre: My Little Creative Box
It’s funny, when I signed up to My Little Box I wasn’t planning to stick with it very long considering the luck I’d had with previous subscription boxes. I really, truly wasn’t expecting to still be signed up a year on, and I certainly wasn’t expecting to still be pleased with the contents in the … Continue reading
What I Wore: Styling the Monki Chambray Shirt Dress for Autumn
Remember that Monki Chambray Shirt Dress that I picked up for my Madrid holiday? Well, I loved it so much that once summer ended and the knitted jumpers and tights came out I decided to have a go at styling it for autumn. And you know what? I think I may have cracked it. Continue reading

What I Wore: Kimono jacket and statement necklace for a day to night look
Recently Jeff and I celebrated his birthday (belatedly!) with a delicious dinner at Dishoom. While I knew I wanted to dress up for the evening, I’d recently purchased a statement necklace and velvet kimono which I was really keen to wear.

Sunday stroll through Columbia Road Flower Market
Every weekend I tell Jeff that I’d like to go to Columbia Road on Sunday to buy flowers for the vase on our mantelpiece, and every weekend (at least every weekend for the past 6 months!) I’ve either ended up with other plans or snoozing till noon. But last Sunday it all worked out: we … Continue reading

Oversized is a look I’ve been loving lately, so for autumn I’ve decided to upgrade my wardrobe with a lush maxi cardigan, deep blue denim boyfriend shirt and chunky loafers. Cosy and warm – while still smart enough for the office! – here I come… Continue reading
