So much for being a rare mythical creature! The unicorn invasion continues to take hold of the world gastronomy with the news that the craze’s latest sartorial victim is the humble pizza. Yes, unicorn pizza is now a thing. We’ve had unicorn cake, unicorn bark, unicorn frappuccinos and even unicorn bagels. We have officially reached … More Trending: Unicorns
This year’s House 2017 definitely lived up to my expectations as a source of inspiration. From the second I walked in and saw the sleek and swoonworthy Zelouf + Bell stand I knew it was going to be a good day. It was also there that I laid my eyes upon (in the flesh) the … More The weekly glaze: Bottoms up!
It’s been quite a busy few weeks and I’ve been remiss in my posting with all this lovely sunshine. And with all this time spent out of doors in my pursuit to become a gardening goddess (date set for the 12th of never), I have found my inspiration for this post. In the words of … More The weekly glaze: Let’s go outside

It’s probably why I have so many coffee table books with glossy covers and … More The weekly glaze: #GIRLBOSS
A new collection from Ikea is always something to make my bank balance quiver in fear and the new STOCKHOLM 2017 range is doing just that. Inspired by light and nature, the new 47-piece collection was designed to tie in with your existing interior set up rather than replace it entirely. The pieces are to freshen up a … More The lowdown: New Ikea STOCKHOLM 2017 collection
I love Easter. It’s like a calmer version of Christmas but with more pastel colours, tulips and legs of lamb. Easter is Fred Astaire and Judy Garland singing about Easter bonnets. Easter is blues, pinks, yellows and purples; yellow and purple being the Cadbury colours, do you reckon that was deliberate? While synonymous with gorging … More On the table: Easter
Terrazzo has been talked about for awhile now but this blog hasn’t been around long so it’s my turn to share my love for this amazing material.
