Halloween in my house was almost as big as Christmas and there was just as much excitement about the decorations going up as there would be on December 8th. My mother, although she wouldn’t admit it, has a slight addiction to acquiring horrifying Halloween trinkets and every year she adds to her creepy collection. There’s … More The weekly glaze: A touch of magic
After the day we’ve had we can be forgiven for wanting to curl up in front of the fire and wait for the remnants of Ophelia to leave us for good (it’s 11pm and she’s grouchier than ever). So in the spirit of sheltering on a stormy evening, here are a few ideas for some … More The weekly glaze: Logging off…
I regularly debate this with myself but the majority of the time I can come to the conclusion that Autumn is by far and away my favourite season.

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
What an amazingly sunny weekend we just had. I can only hope that it’s the start and not the end of a beautiful summer to come. But even if the rain does arrive to spoil the summery vibes, it looks as if the Retro Tropicana trend will be sticking around for some time to come, … More Trending: Flamingos

One of my favourite discoveries of last weekend’s Ideal Home Show has to be Moodlii, a brand new Irish interiors company that is giving Irish design fiends exclusive access to unique brands from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. The range is full of beautiful, clean-line, modern pieces that are the epitome of scandi-chic. And that best part is … More The lowdown: In the ‘Moodlii’
The saying ‘never judge a book by its cover’ never seemed to register with me. It’s exactly how I judge my books.

It’s probably why I have so many coffee table books with glossy covers and … More The weekly glaze: #GIRLBOSS
