Ever since The Cornershop popped up on 1st August, my Instagram and Twitter feeds have been inundated with snaps of traditional corner shop goods made of nothing but felt and wool. And being the nosey type who also really enjoys art (with a personal preference for installations at that) I made plans to check it … Continue reading
Sometimes we all just need a little rest and relaxation, and last week was one of those weeks for me, filled with books, coffee, tea, friends and London hangouts… Continue reading
The past week in London has been truly lovely – the sun’s shone (almost) every day, the mercury was consistently high, and anyone might think it’s actually summer! With my sandals on while putting my favourite vest tops to good use, here’s what I got up to last week according to the pictures I posted on Instagram… Continue reading
Spring seems to be well and truly here in London*, so Jeff and I made the most of it this weekend and explored North London. From Camden Town to Upper Holloway, Archway to Highgate, Muswell Hill to Crouch End, we hit the pavement and saw as much as possible on foot, stopping to enjoy food … Continue reading
Like pretty much everyone else on Twitter and Instagram right now, I am doing the #100happydays challenge.

Last weekend Jeff and I swung by Dalston House, an interactive piece of art by Leandro Erlich, commissioned by the Barbican. The detailed facade of a Victorian terraced house is constructed flat on the ground, with mirrors positioned overhead to give the appearance that people are climbing or falling from the house.

There are two things I really love and, if you gave me either as a present, you really couldn’t go wrong: statement jewellery and nail polish. And on Sunday I was able to combine the two at the Tatty Devine and Illamasqua sugar skull workshop, getting creative with UV nail polish! Oh hell yes. Bonus points because … Continue reading
Friday evening J and I popped by Taste of London, courtesy of the fab team at Google Local London. We had a great time, checking out the stalls, trying new foods and drinks, bumping into friends at the event, and supporting local businesses. (Seriously: we left there with olives, tea, vodka and a bunch of … Continue reading
