Winter is a hard time to dress for. Inside, you're cozy, but outside, it's freezing. I guess the trick is layers, but no one wants to look like the Michelin man! That's where dresses like this light knit come in. This one I just picked up in a sale at Boohoo.com, for a song. (Who …

I've followed Misfit Makings on Instagram for a while, because I love the customised pieces and the philosophy of not fitting in or following the herd. So when Riecee Siren, the star creator behind the brand, got in touch with me about working with them to share their designs with you, I jumped at the …

My boyfriend recently built me a laptop (he does things like that, he works in IT), which has all the perfect specs for the blogging, writing and editing that I do. I loved it, but ... It's black and grey. If any of you have seen my really old Mac, you'll know that it has …

The designs of the bikini's and one pieces are really good: modern, flattering and sexy without revealing too much. I started to wonder, who was behind this great brand? Swim …

They're always so creative and detailed, from the quality and design to the choice of the colours and the products names (in this collection, they're all song titles, cool huh?) The current collection didn't really register with me, because truth be told, I didn't know …
I don't know how it is where you all live, but here in London, the seasons seem to turn on a dime. One minute it's Summer, with the sun out, and then overnight the leaves have changed to gold and there's a bite in the wind. But some of the great things about Autumn are the …

Not normally a recipe post type of person, but this one I thought you might get a kick out of since it's made from foraged ingredients and a pastry base that anyone can make. Perfect if you need to impress someone but have no cooking skills. London is beautiful at this time of year, with the …
