Today I’m going to tell you about someone. You don’t know her, and I know her both very well and not at all. The not at all part is because she doesn’t exist. She is the person I always wanted to be, and the person I thought that I would be able to become, at… Continue reading Letting go of the girl I’ll never be
How to spend a weekend in Gdansk
It's fair to say that I was more than a little enamoured with Gdansk. It’s a wonderfully pretty and colourful city, as well as being interesting enough to get your culture on and, very importantly, it has a great vibe. Oh, the vibe; so vague, I know, but it's one of those places that just feels nice… Continue reading How to spend a weekend in Gdansk
A chat about balance in our approach to New Years Resolutions
The internet, the office, the streets and who knows what else are rather awash with discussion at the moment on the big January tradition; New Years Resolutions. Half of what I’ve heard is ‘this year I’m going to change this’ or ‘my resolution is to…’ and half of it is ‘no new years resolutions plz’… Continue reading A chat about balance in our approach to New Years Resolutions
Hello 2018 | 18 things to remember this year
Happy New Year, you beautiful things! I hope your NYEs were fun/mad/cosy/quiet/whatever you wanted them to be. Mine was spent on the sofa for the first time in maybe 15 years and I absolutely loved it, so I guess I’m a) an adult and b) really boring now. We’ll talk new years resolutions, intentions, goals… Continue reading Hello 2018 | 18 things to remember this year
Goodbye to 2017
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)
