Home decor has always been a passion of mine and I love searching out handcrafted, artisan home ware that will give my home a certain je-ne-sais-quoi, those statement pieces that will add character and show off my personal style.
I’m excited to announce that I’m running another mouth-watering competition which gives you the chance to win this must-have 'The Adventures in Chocolate' Hotel Chocolat hamper (worth £120).
Strolling through the forest in my black block suede boots from New Look, this darling red coat on my back c/o Jacques Vert, I felt like a 30 something (not so) Little Red Riding Hood.
Within the gorgeous gift bag I left with after the wonderful dinner with Antonio Carluccio himself a few weeks ago, were the ingredients to recreate his exquisite pappardelle al funghi-so I gave it a whirl at home.
I hope you love it as much as we do!
Readers who also follow me on Facebook, will know that my husband Peter has developed his own fan club of late.
OK time for some honesty... put your hand up if you really only follow the blog to swoon at Peter...?
OK you can put your hand down now ;)
Whilst I mourn the end of summer for the weather, I happily console myself in the fact the change in seasons means I can dig my Autumn/Winter wardrobe our, as well as treat myself to a few pieces in keeping with fashions top new trends.
I've never been one to sacrifice style over comfort. Even at eight months pregnant you'd find me in my fave pair of block heels, whilst my Fendi Baguette bag never left my side during my twenties despite the fact that it's probably the world's smallest bag and I could barley fit my lipstick in let alone my purse, keys and phone!
I've always been an accessories gal!
Hats, shoes, bags...you name it, I covet it.
In particular, I love jewellery and have always found it to be the perfect way to finish an outfit, the icing on the cake: the piece de resistance, so to speak...
I've adored fashion forever (literally).
I loved nothing more as a young girl than dressing up in my mum's dresses, adorning her statement 80's jewels around my neck and strutting around the house in her heels (a shiny silver t-bar pair were my absolute favourites), I just wish she'd kept them for me now!
We've always been huge fans of Mamas & Papas here, a brand that offers classic pieces for kids from cots to clothes and beyond, I love to showcase their products on the blog.
