Hat – H&M Dress – C/O Love Belt – Moschino (DIY) Watch – Casio Cuff – H&M Rings – H&M Bag – Mulberry Shoes – Topshop Boutique So this belt has a funny story, Yes I like every other lookbook user wanted THE belt of last season but was not willing to pay the extortionate ebay prices to get my little mits on this vintage gem!  As I was perving over one of the many colours available my step mum happened to peer over my shoulder and let out a laugh which immediately caught my attention. She went on to inform me how she used to, and I quote “Buy one of everything” in Moschino, back in the day (such a fashionista) Obviously I had to see whatever she had left and boy did she have a lot, handbags, purses, bumbags (yes bumbags)….The only thing she could bare to part with was the bumbag and I most definitely didn’t winge, I had a plan. I bought a skinny little belt from Primark and gently cut the stitches holding the gold letters on so they could be easily replaced (just in case I fancy rocking the socks and sandals with Moschino one day)  and threaded them onto the belt…bobs ya uncle! However since making it my beautiful best friend Victoria (Possibly the most Chic, girl in Northampton) turned up at my house with a REAL red one because “She’s never worn it and thought I’d like it”, UNDERSTATEMENT!!! Anyway, when Love sent me a parcel containing this dress a couple of weeks ago I just new my little creation would look beautiful against the smooth mocha fabric, it’s slightly more understated than the original one.  I’ve practically lived in this dress since they sent it because it’s so easy to dress up (I wore […]

So this belt has a funny story, Yes I like every other lookbook user wanted THE belt of last season but was not willing to pay the extortionate ebay prices to get my little mits on this vintage gem!

I’ve practically lived in this dress since they sent it because it’s so easy to dress up (I wore it to see my Beautiful Model friend Kate in Nottingham) with tanned legs and some gold accessories or down (I have thrown it on for many-a-lecture) with a cute leather jacket and some ankle boots! So if you want to get your hands on this dress click HERE however it does come in like EVERY frickin’ colour!

Ok so in hindsight it probably wasn’t all that much of a funny story….but I liked 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.

Introducing ‘Scented Mementos’ - an enchanting limited edition collection by @jomalonelondon Each fragrance, a symphony of memories, encapsulates the essence of cherished moments. 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!
