Bathroom Trends ~ Get The Look

*ad If you’ve been following me on Instagram you’ll know I’ve recently renovated my bathroom. I spent months researching current trends, products and materials. There were many moodboards and samples (which I loved compiling) as there were so many decisions to be made. Whilst I was on my search for wall covering options, I came…

Feel-Good Tea

ad* I don’t know about you, but there’s just something about Autumn that makes me feel so excited. I’m not sure if it’s past memories of new shiny school shoes and choosing a new pencil case. Or maybe it’s the fact I can start shopping for cosy knits and it’s officially ok to light all…

*AD Like many of you this Christmas, I’m trying to change the way I gift. Gone are the days of plastic packaged gift sets that get shoved at the back of a drawer. I’m planning on buying things that are not only heartfelt, but more importantly to be used, on display, loved and ultimately not…

A Weekend in The Surrey Hills

Having visited Surrey several times as a child, I’ve been desperate to return to this beautiful part of the world.
