do it ya friggin’ self!

26th November 2011
    Shirt – H&M Pleather Trousers – Melody Direct Bag – Peacocks (was red, fabric painted black) Shoes- Topshop Rings – Brighton market stall   So I had a sudden brain wave last night when I was finally finishing off painting this clutch bag from red to black, I had wanted a black envelope clutch for aaages but was too stubborn to pay £20+ quid for one when I found this one in red from peacocks for £9 so off I strolled to House Of Fraser haberdashery to buy more fabric paint and voila!! black (with a red tinge) envelope clutch, I wouldnt recommend this as it took for ever and was extremely tedious! I have had this shirt for god knows how long and haven’t ever really wore it, but with all these statement collars and collar tip jewels around I thought this was a perfect “daytime-friendly” way of wearing this trend. I literally just got a ruler and biro, drew the outline and then filled in with black fabric paint, there are sooo many different colours of fabric paint including Gold and Silver that I don’t think this will be my last DIY statement collar. I hope you like it!

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Immerse yourself in the zesty allure of Emerald Thyme, or indulge in the spicy nostalgia of Ginger Beer, where notes of ginger, roasted oak, and cinnamon intertwine to evoke memories of British antiques markets.
where every scent is a love letter to the past, a fragrant homage to the beauty of antiquity. #ScentsOfBritain #JoMaloneLondon Paid partnership

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
