Little Sis is too young to be stealing from my make up bag so where’s my make up? We had a family photo last week and, wanting to look my best, was looking for makeup. I have drawers of bottles and potions and presumed there was something at the bottom of it all. A lipstick,…

My changing bag isn’t working for me
My changing bag isn’t working for me. Not when I need another couple of bags to simply leave the house. Today we decided to go on a family shopping trip to Westfield Stratford, the super duper new shopping centre next to the Olympic site. I’m gradually getting used to getting us all out of the…
Gingerbread house finds
For my 4th birthday my grandparents made me a beautiful dollshouse, partly from a piano they no longer wanted. It was decorated with swatches of wallpaper and carpet from their own home and reminded me of them long after both of them had died. It had a real mis-match of furniture which I had collected…

Orla Kiely inspired suitcase
My most recent thrifted find was this lovely little vintage suitcase. I can’t imagine why anyone would make, let along buy, such a small suitcase. Perhaps it’s just me who can’t leave home without the kitchen sink! Anyway, it’s made of cardboard and lined with paper and I thought it would be a perfect backdrop…

Orla Kiely loveliness
As much as I love my iPhone I also love being able to pimp the outisde. I’ve gone through a fair few since I bought my first iPhone in 2007, although always stuck with either Cath Kidston or recently, Orla Kiely, covers. Remember the luscious lacquered shell which didn’t last long as I upgraded and…
