I was busy thinking about Christmas last month as I love to introduce a few festive things to my home in advance, a bit like a Countdown to Christmas! I start with a few table decorations, some original vintage and…
I recently bought this amazing 1970s vintage maxi dress from a local vintage shop. I fell in love with it straight away; the colours and pattern slightly reminding me of William Morris. It is a needlecord, in a deep green…
Autumn can be hard for fashion – some days it is cold but often the sunshine breaks through leaving you too hot for your winter coat. I love to wear a vintage cape and ponchos at this time, which work…
I love the 1960 and 1970s – they are my decades of choice for my home but also my wardrobe. So when I saw the latest range including this 1970s vintage style mac by Bright and Beautiful, the sister brand…

I have had such a lovely summer holidays spending time with and without my children! Have a look at just some of what I have been up to through my Instagram photos. Wearing my Alexa dress and battered vintage leather…
I don’t know about you, but there is something exciting about September. Personally, I love autumn and even though it’s still hot outside, I can almost feel it coming. I think it is because we are all running around getting…
I love everything about this room. The pops of orange in the pendant lights that stand out against the white walls remind me of my own kitchen/dining room/lounge area which incidentally is also filled with Ercol, like this table. Here are…
I have recently found quite a few vintage dresses that I adore – some from charity shops (i.e. cheap!) and some from vintage shops (where I spent more money!). I will share them over the next few weeks but the…
