So, here we are. The last day of 2017. The year seems to have passed in a bit of a blur really, but as it's drawn to a close, I've done my fair share of reflecting on the last 12 months (how many times have you read a phrase similar to that recently?). I've just… Continue reading Goodbye to 2017

Signing off for Christmas (to the tune of Driving Home for Christmas…)
The presents are wrapped, the food shop is done, the flat is tidy and looking magical… Lol jk. The build up to Christmas has been something of a stressful one, as it’s been my busiest time at work in a long time, which coupled with Christmas events and multiple weekends away in a row has… Continue reading Signing off for Christmas (to the tune of Driving Home for Christmas…)
Making my wardrobe work harder: the Christmas jumper edition
The Christmas jumper, though completely and utterly delightful - no arguments please - might well be the winner of the 'least versatile item of clothing' title. You can only dig them out for a few weeks a year (I mean you could wear them throughout the seasons but I don't really want to), and they… Continue reading Making my wardrobe work harder: the Christmas jumper edition
On togetherness
This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Thomas Sabo Just in case you hadn’t seen enough wreath adorned doors, artfully arranged tinsel flatlays and gloved hands clutching mulled wine cups (guilty as charged) while browsing Instagram lately, allow me to inform you of something; it’s nearly Christmas. Christmas is about many things – gift-giving, parsnip-eating, mulled wine drinking and trying to win… Continue reading On togetherness
A festive night in
Something I really love about Christmas is our focus on the senses. It always seems to me that more now than any other time of year, we're hyper aware and appreciative of them; the smell of cinnamon or orange or roasting potatoes, the rich tastes, the comforting feel of a soft jumper, the twinkling lights...December… Continue reading A festive night in
How to wear a midi dress in winter (without freezing)
I feel weird about using that title, because as with everything style related, the proper answer is; however you damn well please. Wear it with literally whatever you want (although obviously, some things will be better than others for the whole not freezing thing). Still, ‘one way that I like to wear this particular midi… Continue reading How to wear a midi dress in winter (without freezing)
A festive weekend in Gdansk (and why it makes the perfect December destination)
Winter city breaks are one of my favourite things, and this year I was lucky and/or stupid enough to book two of them, two weekends in a row. The second one of those – that also happened to fall on the first weekend of December – was to Gdansk. I’d never really thought about visiting… Continue reading A festive weekend in Gdansk (and why it makes the perfect December destination)
Time to start not-so-wasting time
One of my biggest fears, and in many ways biggest obsessions, is wasting time. Wasting anything in general actually doesn’t sit well with me at all – it’s what has me eating absolutely everything on my plate because err you what mate I am not putting good food in the bin – but precious minutes… Continue reading Time to start not-so-wasting time
