I have my lovely London-based sister to thank for this latest post. With a finger firmly on the pulse, she excitedly told me about the launch of & Other StoriesH&M’s latest endeavour. With interesting silhouettes, clean lines, and a design edge that is rare among retailers of this size, I can see this becoming an exciting and different mainstay on the retail front. And the real triumph – the shoes!! What are your thoughts? x

P.s. Thanks to all of you for your lovely comments recently. It makes blogging so rewarding!

Been a little MIA lately, but now you can all see what I’ve been up to! Chris and I launched our homewares and accessories business on Saturday to friends and family, which was a great success. It was so much work for one day, but all the lovely people that made the effort to come meant that it was fun-filled, positive, and inspiring. Such a relief! There is always that anxiety, when you host an event, that nobody will care to come and you’ll be left standing on your lonesome amongst food and drink aplenty. So seriously thank you for saving us the embarrassment!

Would like to especially thank Susan and Clare for lending us their yoga studio for the day (you really must check out this magical yoga studio if you haven’t already), my Dad (who seems to be eternally helping me move things from one place to another), our family for their reassurance and support, and all the friends and family who came to view, shop, and give us their feedback.

To anyone that couldn’t attend or lives afar- the online shop will launch in March.

Love xx

Is Was Will Be

Iswas + Willbe design their jewellery for the journey… And, after browsing their collection online, I would say it is a journey not worth taking without my very own piece from this jewellery-making duo. Their design inspiration comes from Mother Nature herself, with each piece – as the designers put it – craftily made on Earth. No way?!! To check out these little lovelies, head here x

Liberate Me

I’m not sure why I find handbags so hard, but I do… I only ever seem to like the pricey Celine ‘Leather Shopper’ or the Alexander Wang ‘Prisma’, which, let’s be honest, is not in mine or most people’s realm. Enter emerging designer Danielle Foster, whose entirely handmade bags sit somewhere in the middle. Inspired by the darkness of 40′s erotic bondage and torture, and her equestrian upbringing, they feature metallic bronze leather, brushed pony hair, woven luxe leather and Foster’s signature marble print alongside traditional equestrian hardware elements such as buckles, layers of looped metal and stud detailing. Ahhhmmaazing…

The Staple Shoe

 

My new staple heel for the season. Missed out on the ones from Zara but thankfully Seed has done an almost exact copy. Now all we need is for this wretched weather to clear up! Oh, and a pedicure…
