7 French Things That Made Me
I had in mind to post a rant about French style last Friday, but my sister’s piano arrived and intervened. Not surprisingly, I no longer feel like sharing my silly annoyances with the French lifestyle industry. I didn’t feel like writing anything at all, to ..
My Sister’s Piano
I haven’t done an interiors post in ages: for the simple reason that there hasn’t been much happening in that department. Our ground floor is more-or-less furnished, but upper ones still look pretty Spartan. Since the acquisition of the coffee table, there h..
6+ Favourite Skin Extras
If you’ve been here before, you are already intimately familiar with my morning and evening skincare steps and most of the time, that’s all I do to my skin. Well, many people would say that’s plenty (and I agree), but what I mean is that unless I’m having a ..
Mimosa Time
There is (or should be) a specific sub-category of First World Problems, called Bloggers’ Problems. I, for example, spent hours yesterday trying to locate some mimosa branches that I could photograph for my long-planned mimosa post. I did not succeed, but at..
Coconut, Pomegranate & Date Drink
My brain has helpfully blocked most of the unpleasantness that accompanied my pregnancy, but there is one issue I do remember quite clearly: what the hell to drink? It wasn’t even that I missed drinking alcohol, I just missed drinking something exciting. Unp..

A Very Short Introduction to Being Well Informed
One thing that happens when you blog (almost) every day is that you notice your thought patterns more than you otherwise would – writing things down kind of makes them difficult to ignore. So what have I learned about myself, in addition to the fact that I’v..
The New Shoe
I haven’t really fallen in love with shoes since this glorious pair of Roksanda heels I bought in July: either I’m becoming more restrained or this was simply a very tough act to follow. I’m willing to bet it’s the latter, I don’t really see that restraint t..
Gin in Teacups and Leaves on the Lawn
I’m not the world’s biggest Pete Doherty fan and quite frankly don’t know his music that well (the first is probably the logical outcome of the latter), but one of his phrases has been stuck in my head for years. In Babyshambles’ Albion, he sings: “gin in te..
Persimmon Toast
I’ve returned from Spain determined to start a healthy life full of nutritious food and lots of exercise. I’m giving this enthusiasm a week or two before it fades, but even if no miraculous changes in my lifestyle will take place, I really should start eatin..
