Valentine’s Rose Bouquet
Flowers are always a welcome gift in my eyes – they brighten up any room and bring a sense of cheer into the air. They also remain the most traditional Valentine’s Day present, so I’m delighted to feature these beautiful Interflora flowers I was sent. The hand-tied bouquet showcases red and pink roses, interspersed with white waxflower and salal. What really struck me as I prepared the flowers was the sweet fragrance…

What’s in my Bag
I thought it was about time I offered a peek into my handbag, as it’s something I’ve somehow never got round to blogging about. I switch my bags around regularly but I’m currently using my beloved Mulberry Bayswater. It can fit a good amount of things inside, so I can happily carry around what I deem to be my essentials without overloading it. Here’s what’s in my bag… ♥ Disaster Designs Makeup…

Not only is Marc Jacobs Daisy one of my favourite fragrances, the packaging is so whimsical and feminine, it’s hard not to fall in love with it.

January always feels like a never-ending month. Here are a few things which have made the first month of the new year that bit more bearable… ♥ I was delighted when I unwrapped The Lumineers album at Christmas, and I’ve been listening to it on repeat ever since. I’m tempted to buy tickets for their concert from StubHub and enjoy their music live. ♥ Scented candles are lovely all year long, but…

Soft Snowfall
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” – Lewis Carroll – Matt and I recently took some time out to revel in the snow. It’s not too often everything is veiled in a soft white…
Favourite Winter Candles
In winter there’s nothing I love more than snuggling up with Matt under a cosy blanket, switching on one of our favourite box sets and lighting a fragrant candle. These are my top picks which see us through the winter months… Yankee Candle Sugared Apple – £9.95 A deliciously sweet scent of apples sprinkled with sugar and vanilla, this is my all time favourite candle and reminds me of apple crumble – yum!…

If I was to design and create my ideal iPhone case, this is what it would look like! A soft palette of pretty pink and duck egg florals. The case itself is sturdy and resistant to everyday wear and tear, so…
