Weekend pampering with Plum & Ashby
It may have been a short working week, but after a few long days in the office I’m very glad that Friday has rolled around once again. And what better way to celebrate the start of the weekend than a lazy evening of pampering? With that in mind, I want to introduce you to a lovely range of bath and body products from British brand Plum & Ashby. The company was launched in 2013 by Vicky . . .
Wedding mood board | Winter drama
Following that surprise Icelandic proposal, Chris and I are now in full wedding-planning mode. I promise these pages won't turn into a stream of wedding-related stuff (there are plenty of dedicated blogs out there for that), but I am planning to share occasional bits and bobs that I think might be of interest to anyone else planning a big occasion - after all, everyone loves looking at pretty . . .
Recipe | Cabbage wedges, romesco sauce & crispy pancetta
I've been addicted to romesco sauce ever since I spent time living in Barcelona as a student, so I was delighted when Kym from Bristol-based food blog On the Plate decided to feature it in the latest post of our ongoing recipe series.

Home tour | A Swedish apartment with splashes of spring colour
Adding accent colours to a muted scheme without overpowering it is always tricky, but this three-bedroom corner apartment in Gothenburg is a perfect example of how to do it well. Throughout, it mixes minimal monochrome décor with touches of spring-like blues and greens, creating a space that’s both fresh and calming. The lounge is my favourite room. The mint-green sofa works brilliantly next to . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Botanical zoom
This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge is all about getting up close and showcasing those lovely little plant details that we'd normally miss - the patterns and textures, the colour variations, the tiny hairs on the leaves... I've chosen to feature my favourite new discovery - snake's head fritillary. I'd never heard of this graceful little plant before a recent trip to the local garden . . .
Egg-themed spring styling
There's a definite hint of spring in the air this week. The sun is shining (for the most part), blossoms and daffodils have started to emerge, and there's a touch of warmth in the breeze when I leave for work each morning. It feels as if the world is awakening around me, and it's making my spirits soar. Homeware brands also seem to be embracing the fleeting beauty of this time of year, and in . . .
Profile | Meraki
I don't often blog about beauty and skincare, but every now and then a brand pops onto my radar which I just have to share. Meraki is one such brand - beautifully packaged, accessible, made entirely from natural ingredients, and created with a simple Scandinavian aesthetic. What's more, it was founded by one of my favourite Danish interiors companies, House Doctor. I chatted to Meraki's . . .
Practical tips for an Icelandic road trip
Following our recent adventures in Iceland, I thought it would be useful to share some advice for anyone thinking about planning a similar trip. So, here are some tips that we picked up during our travels... . . .
Making a guest room feel special
I've been thinking about bedrooms a lot over the past few days - mostly because a recent bout of flu means I've spent a lot more time in mine than usual! Specifically, I've been thinking about how to make our second bedroom feel special for guests. Spare rooms are so often afterthoughts - places where we store clutter, or hide away furniture that we no longer like. Ours is no exception - it's a . . .
