Cocoa

When you think of Brighton, you’d be forgiven if the image of a cosy Parisian style cafe serving delicious macarons wasn’t immediately conjured up in your mind! Cocoa is my favourite place, if I ever have a solo minute (and a few spare pennies!) to sit and enjoy a coffee and a [...]

Seeing Red On Columbia Road

If you know about the (seemingly infamous) Columbia Road flower market, you might have expected a few more shots of the beautiful array of flowers there is to offer! But as it had been many weeks since my last day trip to London, I enjoyed soaking up “London-y [...]

Birthday Girl

After the packed birthday weekend I just had, this outfit from Friday feels like a very long time ago now! On my birthday I went to London to spend the day with Carrie (those are her kitty flats pictured below), you will know her from her blog WishWishWish! It started with a [...]

If I Was a Rich Girl

On the scale of how much does your skirt ride up, this leather number trumps all. Thankfully my foresight enabled me to take a long black trench coat with me, preventing any embarrassment when walking up the underground stairs! It’s been a truly inspiring day, starting with the Ballgowns exhibition at the Victoria & [...]

What I Wore: Boxhill Picnic

This is what I wore to a picnic in Boxhill with my family on Sunday, and the more observant person will probably wonder why I wore a high waisted flippy skirt to walk around in the woods and sit in grass? Well, I have no answer, I just love this circle skirt, maybe too [...]

Wishing On A Cuppa

The perfect pick-me-up; of course it’s Wish magazine and a cup of tea! I’ve seen many posts about Wish magazine and how it’s been received across the country, but I think what’s most important is that it’s something I want to re-read too. I’ve got favourite pages and bits that I like to go [...]

Hampton Court

Hampton Court Palace! There isn’t much to say that I hope the photos don’t say themselves! A beautiful setting, and we were lucky enough to have gone on a sunny (but annoyingly windy) day. I’ve never been to Hampton Court, not inside anyway, and as I’ve long loved the [...]

Lavender Fields

Nearby, in Carshalton, lie three acres of lavender that are maintained and managed by volunteers throughout the year, who open the fields to the public for harvesting in July. It was once “the lavender capital of the world”, and if you ever have the chance to visit, I think you can understand why. There’s [...]

Beach House

Living by the sea has its’ perks, but two of my favourite things have got to be the colourful assortment of beach houses, all in beautiful pastel colours of sorts! Secondly, Brighton isn’t short of a cosy little coffee shop that has its’ own niche product, and Scoop and Crumb in the North Laines [...]
