This weekend has been pretty jam packed full of food, shopping and entertaining my aunt who is on a flying visit from Hong Kong. I had thought long and hard on where to take her for lunch this weekend and ended up returning to a real crowd pleaser, Mowgli in Birmingham. I’ve always said that

PINK CRUSH
Today’s post is a ‘what I bought recently’ kind of post and the problem I have with andotherstories – I just can’t stop shopping there! It’s great for workwear and casualwear and I’m SUCH a fan of Scandi brands which means I am always browsing it’s sister stores, COS and Weekday. I’m patiently waiting for

HELLO WEEKEND
Oh weekend, how I’ve looked forward to you all week! It’s been a while since I’ve grabbed my camera, taken a few snaps and shared them on the blog straight away but this is what this year is all about. I’m actively trying to be a recluse this month with attempts to avoid the shops,

Owned by Rei Kawakubo and her partner Adrian Joffe, it’s a high end

BEAUTY – THE CUSHION COMPACT
It’s time to talk about the Cushion compact! With the recent addition to the Lancome line up, MAC’s version as well as the upcoming L’Oreal’s Lumi Cushion I thought I should blog about the original Korean inspiration. I’ve been using them for a few years now and they are honestly one of my favourite ways of applying foundation. What is a

SAINT LAURENT SAC UNIVERSITÉ
Introducing my new bag! I have been a bit spendy lately and I purchased the Saint Laurent Sac Université in medium. It has been on my radar for a really long time and featured on my Instagram and Pinterest. Whenever I was near the Saint Laurent Selfridges store in London or Birmingham, I would always make a bee

BAL D’AFRIQUE
I’m obsessed with Byredo. Every time I visit Liberty I wander past the counter and spritz a new one on to try. I’d really like to try some of the Le Labo fragrances too but those are eye-wateringly expensive! The Byredo packaging is perfectly minimalist and looks awesome on my desk. I like that they’re
