Time for the second post in my new series with Kym Grimshaw of wonderful food blog On The Plate. Each month Kym is sharing a delicious seasonal recipe, and her latest offering focuses on kale, which is at its very best at this time of year. I'll be honest: I've never been a fan of leafy vegetables such as kale. I know they're good for me, so I try to hide them in smoothies and the like, but I . . .
Iceland | Ion Hotel & the Golden Circle
From the Blue Lagoon, we headed east along empty roads towards the mountainous interior. We soon learned that driving anywhere in Iceland was going to take us much longer than expected – partly because of the snowy conditions (I’m very glad we hired a 4x4), and partly because we ended up stopping every few minutes to marvel at yet another amazing view. Eventually, we descended into a wide . . .
The Breakfast Collection from Nina+Co
Happy Monday everyone! I want to start the week by introducing a beautiful tableware collaboration from talented London designer Nina Woodcroft, whose studio Nina+Co was formed in 2014, and consultancy The Ceramicists. Entitled the 'Breakfast Collection’, it includes a plate, a bowl, a mug, a butter dish and an espresso cup that doubles as an egg cup, and the second batch has just gone on sale. I . . .
Iceland | A visit to the Blue Lagoon
Chris and I have just returned from our longed-for visit to Iceland, and what an incredible week we had. The country was everything we’d hoped for and more: otherworldly, elemental, strikingly beautiful, and completely and utterly magical. Our travels took us across the south and east, to mountains, volcanoes, black-sand beaches and glaciers, before we headed to Reykjavik for a couple of days in . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Jungle animals
First of all, I’d like to apologise for the lack of plant-related content in this latest Urban Jungle Bloggers post! The challenge set by hosts Igor and Judith this month was to style plants and ‘jungle animals’ (either pets, or animal-themed art), but I’d like to use it as an excuse to talk about something which is very close to my heart: adopting rescue animals. The handsome little chap in . . .
Home tour | A bright white family house
I’m incredibly excited about sharing a peek at this wonderful home as it belongs to one of my favourite Instagrammers, Olga Prinku. Olga was born in Moldova but now lives in the UK. I first came across her feed last year, and I instantly adored the hand-knitted products which she designs and creates – chunky throws, cushions, hats and even Christmas baubles, all made from the softest natural . . .
Spring & summer 2016 collection from Broste Copenhagen
I have another spring-summer collection to share with you today, this time from the ever-reliable Broste Copenhagen. Yet again, this Danish brand has come up with a stunning range of furniture and accessories, and there are some wonderful new pieces to tempt. What’s more, it was photographed at one of my favourite places, the Copenhagen Botanical Garden. For me, there are two sides to this . . .
The VIPP Shelter
You may remember me mentioning a feature about the importance of swapping city life for a few days of rural seclusion which I recently read in Oak - The Nordic Journal. Well, it included an account of a stay at the Vipp Shelter, a prefabricated cabin designed by Danish brand Vipp, and it left me intrigued to find out more. I've seen the shelter popping up on a few blogs and Pinterest boards . . .
Limited-edition prints from Alexandra Dao
I’m lucky enough to meet some truly inspiring creatives through this blog, and the subject of this post, Alexandra Dao, is no exception. Picture editor turned photographer Alexandra is based in London and creates beautiful limited-edition prints. She focuses on capturing the changing light – the way it dances on water or illuminates a petal – and many of her images use flowers as a subject. . . .
Room Envy | A lounge in spring-like shades
I know, I know – this photo seems a bit of a strange choice for this month's ‘Room Envy’ post, as you can’t actually see that much of the space in question. But the beautiful combination of soft, spring-like colours is the perfect antidote to a drizzly winter's day, and I couldn't resist sharing it. The room was styled to show off some of the furniture and accessories available from Danish . . .
