It finally feels like spring is just around the corner, so to celebrate, I thought I’d continue with this week’s floral theme, this time for little girls. Choose from bold in your face tropical blooms, retro style prints or more traditional ditsy flowers and just add neutral tights, long sleeve tees and cosy cardigans until the warmer weather arrives. There’s not long to … Continue reading
I just love a flowery print, so when a riot of colourful and bold florals marched down the catwalk at last autumn’s SS15 shows, I couldn’t wait for spring. My favourite collection was by Michael Kors, where florals were mixed with preppy tailored shirts. If you prefer things to be more subdued, follow designer Carolina Herrera’s lead … Continue reading
When I was in my twenties I wore trainers pretty much every day. Work, going out, school run, I did everything in them (apart from any actual exercise). It was the heyday of classic ‘old school’ retro trainers and my favourite pairs were Adidas Superstars and my beloved Velcro-fastening Stan Smiths. It goes without … Continue reading

T-shirt, £6, Next It made me remember cooing over Next’s fab mini superhero pieces at their … Continue reading
I love anything kitsch and quirky so discovering interiors brand Lapin & Me’s Woodland Dolls at last weeks Dot to Dot tradeshow was a bit of a treat. First produced in Tokyo in the seventies, they are still made in the same factory and each doll is meticulously sprayed by hand, so they all are unique. Ok, so they … Continue reading
We’ve been playing with Pop TV’s new photo editing ArtPad app and it’s proving to be Pearl’s latest mini obsession. Encouraging screen time is not often on top of a parents to-do list, but giving your child a chance to be creative is never a bad thing. Using the ArtPad app you can take photos and … Continue reading
Denim is the perfect fabric for busy, modern life. It’s hard wearing, easy to launder (does anyone actually iron denim??) and goes with pretty much everything. We all own at least one pair of much loved jeans, but this spring sees denim get a little more interesting, moving a step beyond its role as a wardrobe staple to a trend in its … Continue reading
