Ahh, love. Valentine’s Day always creeps up on me, I find it too soon after Christmas for any substantial gift giving, but the boy and I usually like to head off to some drizzly English beach for the day and surprise each other with a comical gift or two… (previous presents have included a grumpy […]
This is Your Life
Yours. And mine. All of ours.
Why one of my New Year’s Resolutions wasn’t to eat less cake
Firstly, I will say that my body and I have had our ups and downs. I treated her terribly in my twenties. And so she decided to teach me a lesson. Somewhere between 23 and 24 she stopped conquering junk food and just got (dare I say it) fat. I hated myself for […]

The Dreamer – Christmas Gift Guide Day 1
“I’m a dreamerrrrr”… thanks to the 90s for the cheesy dance track that has been torturing my brain ever since I bought this jumper.

4 reasons to fall in love with Malaga
I have been visiting Southern Spain since the late 90s, when Marbella was still ritzy and I was splashing my pesetas on paint-splattered bellbottom jeans. Much like my style (thankfully), the area has changed a lot since then, and Malaga has been at the heart of a cultural renaissance. Here are four reasons why the city has won me over in the last few years.
Hand luggage only? Prep your beauty kit for your carry-on.
Hurrah, I am finally going on holiday. I usually make a yearly pilgrimage to my aunt and uncle’s home in Southern Spain, and to keep costs low I travel with hand luggage only. But this does tend to thwart a gal’s beauty kit, especially if you’re a product junkie like I am. I have thrown […]
5 books you need to read before the end of summer
I love beach holidays because I adore being able to laze horizontally for hours revelling in some pure, unadulterated, no-guilt reading. My favourite bit about packing for the holiday? Picking that wodge of books that I’ve been longing to read but just haven’t had the time. So this year I am sharing my little holiday […]
Reg. Bev. Wil.
It’s obligatory to cry on your 30th birthday, right? I didn’t actually suffer the thirties looming doom that some of my friends seemed to be plagued with, but upon opening a birthday card from the boy I couldn’t help but whimper like the 30-year-old was expected to on her birthday. ‘ “It was so good, […]
5 stationery brands you need in your life
We all need stationery. Some people don’t *need* it like I *need* it, but I am hoping in sharing my little discoveries with you that you might start to see the humble pen and paper as I do. I’ve had a fondness for stocking up on writing materials ever since the annual pencil case refresh during my schooldays. It’s dangerously developing into […]
